STAY AS COOL AND SAFE DURING EXCESSIVE HEAT DAYS

With temperatures reaching triple digits, It’s about to get a lot hotter in Southern California. The National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat watch for San Bernardino and Riverside counties and the Inland Empire are forecast to be hit the hardest with temperatures reaching as high as 110 to 117 degrees.

Southern California Edison (SCE) reminds customers to stay as cool and safe as possible and to avoid heat-related injuries during excessive heat days. “Our No.1 priority is to help keep our customers safe,” said Don Neal, SCE director of Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety. “We encourage customers to keep outdoor activities to a minimum and drink plenty of water during the hottest parts of the day.”

SCE also offers a variety of programs to help keep electricity bills down, including the Save Power Day and Summer Discount Plan programs. Customers can earn up to $100 in bill credits per year for conserving energy between 2-6 p.m. To sign up for the Save Power Day program, go to: sce.com/spd. Customers can select how they would like to be notified, either by phone, email or text.

Enrollees in SCE’s Summer Discount Plan can receive bill credits of up to $200 by allowing their central air conditioner to be temporarily turned off or cycled remotely during peak times of the day. Additional SCE residential and business rebates are available at: www.sce.com/summer.

Here are a few tips to conserve energy and stay cool: • Set thermostats no lower than 78 degrees.

• Close drapes and blinds to keep out direct sunlight during hot periods.

• Use electric fans instead of air conditioning when practical.

• Reduce electricity use between noon-6 p.m. — peak hours of energy use.

• Shut off lights when leaving a room.

• Limit how often you open your refrigerator door.

• Avoid air conditioner use when evaporative coolers or humidifiers are running.

• When possible, businesses should shift power-intensive work processes to morning or evening hours.

ADULTERY MADE EASY

By Jackie Baber

Well, we are writing this article in hopes that married couples will be faithful and more devoted to their wedding vows. How sad it has become that men and women are making conscious decisions to cheat on their mates.

In making these decision many people end up destroyed; families are torn apart, in most cases everybody has to start over once this terrible secret is exposed.

Unfortunately there are businesses making million off of the fall of these people. Here AshleyMadison.com is self-proclaimed as being the leading dating website for “discreet encounters”. What this implies is giving users the ability to easily commit adultery. Users will have the option of choosing whether they are male or female, in a relationship or single, and whether they are interested in a homosexual or heterosexual encounter.

Ashley Madison’s home page makes it a clear point that the website is completely secure and discreet.

Ashley Madison has attracted its own share of problems, including but not limited to moral questionability. The CEO of Match.com, another popular dating website has focused criticism on Ashley Madison for profiteering from damaged relationships. There is a disproportionate amount of male to female users with a 7.3 ratio. It has been said that this has caused Ashley Madison to create dummy female profiles to seemingly increase the amount of females who use the service. One ex-employee was told to create more than a thousand dummy female profiles within a 3 week time period.

This employee claimed to develop severe pain in her forearms, a result of repetitive stress injury, which then led to a failed lawsuit.

Despite the website’s claims of 100% security, a group of unknown hackers who identify as “The Impact Group” claimed to have stolen information about users of Ashley Madison, a result of their policy of never deleting user data. Despite the damage control Ashley Madison’s owners, Avid Life Media have taken in calling The Impact Group’s claims false, the hackers have released the information of 32 million users. Almost 20,000 of these leaked users have been found to be linked to the United States government or military, a problem even larger for them as adultery is a cause to be discharged from the military.

The Impact Team justifies their actions by claiming the users they revealed deserve it. “Too bad for those men, they’re cheating dirtbags and deserve no such discretion,” a member of the hacker group claimed. On the other hand, Avid Life Media have defended themselves by claiming that whether they are morally right or not, The Impact Team has still committed a crime, even to the extent of calling it “cyber terrorism”.

Avid Life Media have since made claims that they are currently working with authorities to try and track down the hackers.

2

The information of users was posted to a dark web website accessible only by the Tor browser. It comes in a 9.7 gigabyte torrent file which amounts to around 60 gigabytes in total data. In the torrent, The Impact Group have criticized the practices which Ashley Madison’s owners encourage and allow “... too bad for Avid Life Media, you promised secrecy but didn’t deliver.” Since this release, hackers have released an even larger dump of data, which contains 12.7 gigabytes of the CEO of Avid Life Media, Noel Biderman.

If couples would respect each other enough perhaps that respect for each other would help lead them to try and work on their marriage. There are many resources available to help troubled marriages, try going to counseling, support groups, communicating with each other which can be very difficult for some couples, but it is possible. My suggestion to couples is to consider everything; think about the cost when you get caught, think about your family and last but not least think about yourself, ask yourself this question “if I make the decision to cheat will I respect myself” and am I willing to live a life of lies.

Publishers Note

Ethel Martin-Miller This month my article will be about my daughter, Stephanie Martin-Velez and my sonin-law, Ray Velez. I normally do not write about my family, but I could not pass up this opportunity to humbly share with you how excited and graceful I am about the move they have made. I have known that my daughter, Stephanie, was going to be favored with many blessings through out her life. Even with the struggles and trials that she experienced, I have always known that God had a special assignment for her.

Now, let me tell you a little bit about Stephanie. I’m sure many people already know her and have been following her, but at 2 ½ years old she started singing with an astonishing beautiful little girl’s voice. As Stephanie grew older her voice became anointed by God. I took her as a teenager to many places, as she sung in professional stage plays, on television, private parties and so on. As she would sing I always made it a point to observe the audience, their reactions were always the same amazed over her anointed voice and many of them would tear up.

As I watched my daughter grow up, she always would let me know that there was still something very close to her heart, she grew up praying and hoping to become a Missionary and she became just that. As a Missionary it gave her opportunities to travel to several different countries in helping and assisting people in their needs.

Her Missionary work extended to singing and ministering to the people.

Approximately 15 years ago, Stephanie reached out for more information about Missionary work, so she decided to call and see if this local church in West Covina had an active Missionary Ministry. Well, that local church had just what she was looking for, she never would of expected what God would have for her at that local church.

Ray Velez, at that time was the man that would make the appointments and discuss with that person about their church’s Missionary Ministry Department, he was the one that talked to Stephanie. The rest is history and they have been married almost 14 years and have one child, my handsome grandson Isaiah, who is twelve years old has been in Gate all of his elementary school years and has maintained a 4.0 grade point average ever since entering Middle School. I know I am bragging about my family but please forgive me, but you know how it is.

Now to share with everybody about why I am so excited, proud and eyes filled with tears. They have just announced the Grand Opening of their own ministry. The name of their ministry is “Inspired International Church”, both Ray and Stephanie are Pastors.

Their church is located in the beautiful city of Laguna Hills in Orange County. Their Vision is: “ Disciple believers to live their full purpose in Christ as they love and serve God and others” I say what a beautiful vision for their ministry.

To all who know Ray and Stephanie and even if you don’t know them I am asking you to lift them up in prayer as they follow their blessed assignment that God has given them.

THE WORD

The Gospel According To Paul

Pastor John Clark of New Testament Church in the city of Pomona has read and endorsed this study of the Gospel according to Paul. Permission give by Cecil Spivey.

If you have any questions regarding this study you can contact Pastor Clark at (909)622-2886, and you are welcome to visit their church located 580 East 6th st in Pomona.

Services start at 9am and 10am.

The purpose of this study, is to show the difference between the Gospel as given to the Jews through Apostle Peter, and the Gospel given to the Gentiles through the Apostle Paul.

For many years pastors, bible teachers, and evangelists have preached the Gospel all over the world. However, it would probably be more correct to say they have preached what they believe to be the Gospel that Jesus taught. However, Jesus never preached the Gospel of salvation, as is preached in most churches today. He introduced the Gospel of the Kingdom that he declared to be a present reality at the time of his ministry. It would seem that very few people understand that the scriptures reveal more than one evangel, and the difference between them is most remarkable. Now for many, this statement will be considered heresy, because they have been told there is only one evangel. But I encourage you to read on and prove for yourself. Now let use explore the facts.

The Greek word for Gospel is Eu-Anggleion. The prefix Eu means well or good, as in Matt 25:21. The word Anggelion means a message, and is connected with the word Logos, 1Jn 1:5. So the bible definition of the word gospel is A message of good news. The first four books in The New Testament are called Gospels, but this is not considered an exclusive use of the word. In Rom 4:3 it speaks of the gospel that god brought to Abraham Gen 12:3. Then there is the gospel Gabriel brought to Zachariah in Luke 2:10-12. Paul speaks about the Gospel of the Circumcision. IN the book of Revelation there is the Eonian Gospel, to name just a few of the Gospels that are mentioned in the Bible. How interesting it is to note that in none of these Gospels is there any mention of judgement or a burning eternal hell as part of the message. The Gospel is all good news.

In this study we will deal mainly with the two gospels mentioned in Gal 2:7-9. The Gospel of the Circumcision that was delivered by Peter to the Jewish people, who were the people of the Circumcision, and the Gospel of the Uncircumcision given to Paul for the Gentiles or nations. Because of the divergent nature of these two Gospels, it was necessary for the Lord to use two separate men to deliver these messages to men. The separation of these two messages and the men involved, is outlined for us in Gal 2:7-9. It is obvious Peter, James and John all recognized God’s choice in the matter, so that Paul was sent to the nations, whilst Peter was sent to the circumcision.

The one thing that impressed Peter, was the fact that in choosing Paul, Jesus Christ had acted wholly independently of the twelve, who were his chosen witnesses unto his people. It was because of this that Paul found it necessary to establish the basis of his Apostleship, which did not depend upon the winning of a vote by men, or of the church.

The Lord himself chose all the original disciples, and this is very important to remember.

But after he returned to the Father, the church did the choosing of those who functioned in special ministries and have continued to do so even to this day. But many are being called in this our day who are not part of the religious establishment, those who have been trained in the school of the spirit for a particular ministry.

Ethel M. Gardner,

A Community Hero And Author

By Ethel Martin-Miller

Ethel Gardner Founder/Executive Director of Kennedy Austin Foundation began March 10, 1993, it is a community-based, nonprofit organization. It was after the death of her only son, that her determination to help provides support to other grieving mothers, that the foundation was birthed. The primary objective is to meet basic human necessities and help the families during their time of need.

The Kennedy Austin Foundation services include free weekly support groups for grieving parents (facilitated by a professional counselor), food distribution programs, domestic violence survivor support groups, and other services to support at-risk families.

Ms. Gardner is the organizer of The Million Mother March every May where families

who have lost loved ones come together for a 2.5 mile march and balloon send off in honor of those whose lives have been lost.

Recognition by LA County Fair was given to Ms. Gardner in September 2015. The recognition was for Pomona’s 2015 Adult Community Hero.

Community heroes are volunteers at the local hospitals, schools, churches and more levels. These heroes consistently and selflessly devote their time and efforts, going above and beyond without thought of reward or recognition. These heroes are the cornerstones for the city of Pomona. The recognition was during the Pomona Community Hero Celebration and Parade.

In the completion of this article I would like to introduce Ms. Gardner’s first book, “A Mother’s Cry, Can Good Come From A Broken Heart.” Upon the death of her only child, her beloved son, she could not talk at all, the grief was to the point all she could do was journal. Upon See Hero page 7

Business Women’s Day, celebrated September 22, recognizes the value and contribution of women in the business world. The roots of this special day go back to the late 1940s.

While men were off fighting World War II, women filled the void in the workforce. The returning soldiers found the women eager to have their men return. But, many women were not anxious to return to traditional roles in the home. Since this time, women’s role and contributions in the workforce have grown and evolved.

National Comic Book Day, celebrated September 25, is a super cool day. Comic books are great reading. They either tell an ongoing story, provide humor, or offer intrigue and suspense. In all comic books, good eventually prevails over evil. So, comic books always make us feel good. Did you Know? Comic books have great value as a collectors item. Don’t ever throw away those old comic books. Down the road, the series you are collecting today, may be worth its weight in gold!

Ask a Stupid Question Day, celebrated September 28, is your opportunity to speak up, and to ask all those questions you were afraid to ask. All those questions that you thought were too stupid or dumb to ask, have been piling up all year long. Today is the day to unload them. C’mon give it a try. Nobody will laugh......we hope.

This may be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway...... Teachers say there is no such thing as a stupid question. Or, that no question is too stupid to ask. If this is true, then why do your classmates laugh when you ask a question? Yes, kids can be cruel.

But, if you have a question, there’s no better place to ask, than in the classroom.

World Teacher Day is celebrated October 5. Teachers deserve a little recognition, and some thanks and appreciation. Aside from parents and direct family, who else has as much influence on the hearts ann minds of a child... your child? Teachers not only educate, but they help to shape and frame your child’s beliefs, values, and behaviors. Parents and students are encouraged to offer thanks and recognition today. A simple “thanks”, or a card is sufficient.

Moldy Cheese Day is celebrated on October 9. Do you have any moldy cheese in your refrigerator? Do you need to have moldy cheese to celebrate this day? And, if you have any moldy cheese, what would you do with it today? Every once in a while, we come across a special day that has no apparent rhyme or reason. This is one of those days.

But, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate this wonderful(?) and special holiday.

Sometimes Know-How just isn’t Enough Just because you’re an expert in your field doesn’t mean that you have what it takes to be a business owner. When you hang out that open sign on day one, it is unlikely that customers will flock to you right away just because you know what you’re doing.

You’ll need marketing and administration (at the very least) to grease the wheels of your company.

How many chefs or selfprofessed foodies have you met or known to open a restaurant because they love food and cooking, only to have it close down months or years later because people weren’t beating a path to their door when they opened? Making good food isn’t enough; people have to know about it to experience it. You also have to run a tight ship financially, which requires advice of tax and financial experts, and ultimately an experienced general manager at the helm.

Hire good people. If you are good in your field but lack knowledge and expertise for example, then be prepared to hire the right people to fill in the blanks.

This will start the trend of people beating a path to your door. The next trick is to keep them coming back and referring their friends.

Don’t hire your friends. This may seem obvious to some, yet I’ve seen it done over and over again. Not only can it compromise (and in some cases destroy) a perfectly good friendship, but it can do the same to the business. Sometimes, it works.

But hire with caution, and a heck of a lot of

communication (both in the friendship and business). Be prepared to wear different hats while at work and after work.

Internal hiring/promoting isn’t always good. Although promoting from within encourages staff to “reach for the stars” and gives certain personality types something to work for, it isn’t a good idea to categorically hire from within. Sometimes the skill sets just aren’t there within the existing employee base. A bar/restaurant I know of only hires bartenders from within. If a server has proven themselves with blood, sweat, and tears, they may be so lucky to be promoted to bartender.

Sadly though, servers and bartenders are not one and the same. The skills are not transferable, and not all servers understand the finer points of tending a busy bar.

Hence, their bartenders are more often than not under-skilled and unprepared for being in the trenches. They don’t have mixology knowledge at their fingertips, they can’t make drinks quickly, and they don’t have the rhythm to manage a fastpaced bar when it gets crowded. They are simply thrown into the fire and made to survive by trial & error or go down in flames, ultimately quitting or being fired.

They are losing business because they insist on promoting servers from within to become incompetent bartenders, instead of hiring proficient bartenders to begin with. And when you’re running a busy bar, a good bartender is an essential element to make things run smoothly.

Au contrare....... scour through the refrigerators at home and work today for moldy cheese. Office refrigerators are a great place to find moldy stuff.

See if that moldy piece of cheese is salvageable. And, just enjoy the day.

If you find moldy cheese, take a slice off each side. The insides should still be good. Did you Know? Mold is common in cheese. Its part of what gives a particular cheese flavor and character. For example, the blue stuff in Blu Cheese is mold.

Confessions of a To w Truck Dri ver Many of us probably don’t think about the tow truck business that often. We’re grateful when one randomly stops on the road when we’re broken down. In this article one will find out a little more about the extreme ins and outs of the tow truck business. In sharing some information this gentleman asked to keep his name anonymous, so we will call him Dan. The Repossession and Impound Business Dan worked as a part-time driver for five years and gave us some insight into how the repossession business works.

The first step is simply getting the address of the car. It doesn’t matter how they find out where the person lives, they just need to have that address. Dan said that some finance companies give them an address, but if it’s the wrong one, “They might have someone call the guy and tell him something stupid like he’s won tickets to something and they want to know where to send them -- anything sneaky so they get the guy’s address.

He said some people know it’s a possibility their car will be repossessed so they park the car a few houses down thinking that the tow truck drivers won’t be able to find it ... that doesn’t work.

Dan not only worked in repossessions, but also impounded vehicles for private companies. Sometimes he’d patrol apartment complexes and businesses that had hired Dan’s company to tow away illegally parked vehicles. Many people ignore the “No Parking” and “24 Hour Towing” signs, and they pay the price. “It might be parked there all night, it might be parked there for 30 seconds; it’s just parked there at the wrong time if the tow truck gets it.”

When it comes to patrolling for illegally parked cars, Dan told us that this is where competition between the tow truck drivers kicks in. He said most tow truck drivers try to work it out, but he had a few issues. “I know I always had problems with other drivers because I only worked part time.” Other drivers would claim certain properties belonged solely to them, but Dan still patrolled them.

“They thought no one else would be at that property and little did they know I just rolled up and took all their cars.”

Taking all the cars from a specific lot is referred to in this business as “burning up the property.”

6

Normally, these drivers won’t grab all the cars from a lot because they don’t want people to think there’s a strict policy. “It’s kind of like fishing, you want to keep some bait out there,” Dan said. “But when the money’s tight, people take every car they can.”

Selling the Cars Dan told us that most people would come and pay for their cars at the impound lot, unless the cars were in really bad condition.

He told us that when the smart tow truck companies impound a car, they write down the VIN and the license plate number, then call the DMV and put a lien on that owner for the amount of money it costs to store the car.

“Other tow truck companies might just sell the car off or just apply for the title and sell it off and get what money they can for it,” he said.

We asked him what the company he worked for did in these cases. “If someone offered them cash for the car they just kind of unloaded it off to them.” He said they didn’t get in trouble for that because, “They had a connection up at the DMV, a lady was making titles for them.”

By law, the towing companies are supposed to wait 45 days before they apply for the title at the DMV. “But you know, it varies,” Dan said.

The Dangers of the Job No one likes having their car towed, especially when you’re actually there to see it happen. Many dangerous encounters have happened in the course of this job.

Just Part of the Job Even with all the angry people and potentially dangerous encounters, Dan said that there can be good money in towing cars. Drivers are paid by the number of cars they bring in. Some nights drivers can bring home $700, he said for some people, the risk is just part of the job and it doesn’t deter them at all. Dan’s friend who was slashed in the face six years ago is still towing to this day. It’s not that they want people to be mad at them or that they particularly enjoy the dangerous encounters, Dan said matter-of-factly, “Some people just tow cars.”

www.Yeswecannewspaper.com

Know the Tow Truck Laws

Having your car towed can be a huge nuisance and very costly. Fortunately, there are rules and remedies to protect you from being wrongfully towed. This guide will briefly walk you through the towing protection laws that are common in most states. - See more at: http://www.legalmatch.com/lawlibrary/article/tow-truck-laws.html When Can a Car Be Towed?

The owner of private property may have a vehicle removed from their property in any of the following circumstances 1) If there is a sign in plain view that prohibits parking and contains contact information for the company responsible for towing.

2) If the car has been issued a notice of parking violation within 96 hours. 3) If the car lacks doors, wheels, windshield or other major equipment necessary for highway use and the private owner has notified public authorities 24 hours prior.

What If a Car Is Wrongfully Towed?

If the person who had the car towed failed to comply with the towing rules, then they may be liable for twice the towing fees. If a towing company fails to comply with the towing rules, then they owe the car owner four times the amount charged, and are subject to a misdemeanor.

When Is A Tow Truck Fee Excessive?

Both Cities and the California Transportation Commission regulate the maximum amounts that can be charged by a tow truck company. Check first with the city where your car was towed to determine the maximum amounts permitted to be charged for towing and storage?

Where Can My Car Be Towed?

A car may not be towed to a location more than 10 miles from where it was parked.

What If I Catch Them before They Tow My Car? If you catch your vehicle being towed once it has been hitched but before it has been removed, the tow truck company cannot charge more than half the towing fee. However, once the car has been removed, the full towing fee may be charged.

What If I Retrieve My Car Immediately?

Not more than one days storage charge may be charged for a vehicle released within 24 hours of when it was stored.

Seeking Legal Help:

If the towing company causes damage your our vehicle, they may be liable for the damage. You may also have a legal claim if your vehicle was wrongfully towed and you are unable to avoid paying the fines.

What Do You See?

By Dwayne

Yes We Can Newspaper is reaching out to those who want to address certain topics and issues and in doing so perhaps their articles can help someone alone life’s journey. We would like to say thank you to Dwayne, now servicing time in a State Prison but had a desire to reach out to others.

It has been said that the answer is hidden in a question. As homo sapiences ,commonly referred to as human beings, we can be strange, complex and definitely unique in our ability to adapt and evolve. We have taken so many things for granted, for instance, our eyes. We believe that just because we have eyes we can SEE. We have substituted looking for seeing. We wake up in the morning look in the mirror to wash our face, brush our teeth and fix our hair but, never take the time to truly see ourselves.

Who are you? and What Do You See? If you have a wife, husband, significant other, children or family members in your home do you just look at them or have you taken the time to truly see them? Do you see your co-workers and neighbors? If you haven’t taken the time to see yourself then, you can’t really say that you see anyone else. We have become so preoccupied with human Doings that we’ve forgot how to be human Beings. We are so busy trying to make a living that we don’t know how to make a life.

We’ve gotten really good at making things to make people’s lives better and really bad at making better people. What’s ironic is the fact that all of the things we’ve made could not have been possible without Seeing. For example, you’re probably reading this on some type of electronic device, sitting on something, wearing something and not to mention all of the other things that are all around you. Yes, “Thoughts Become Things” first you have the thought and then you SEE what you thought about.

So, again I ask, Who are you? But, this time I want you to close your eyes and see yourself answering that question the way you previously answered it when you were asked.

The most typical responses are: My name is ..., they call me ..., or some job title. Hopefully you realize that a name or job title doesn’t even come close to describing who you are.

I challenge you to take a moment from your whatever you are doing and find a mirror, get to know the person in the mirror, and truly SEE them. For some, this may be difficult and you won’t like what you see, it’s okay because, it’s a process in your ability to adapt and evolve. It has been said that “where there is no vision the people perish”.

journaling so much her journaling became a book. Ms. Gardner’s statement to me was, “its been a journey but I wouldn’t exchange it for anything.” She knows that the death of her son has been a blessing for others as it opened up many doors for other mothers and people at large to receive help. She also states that the Foundation and her book was a large part of her healing. To end this article I like to state that Ms. Ethel Gardner is a woman of unusual force, integrity, and great ability. She is a prophetess, teacher, activist, author and counselor. A woman that comes from the humblest of backgrounds. Book Information Call 888-795-4274 ext. 7879
