War Comes Home for African-American Veterans

Outgoing Mayor Discusses Future of Port Hueneme

President Obama Names Recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom

WASHINGTON – Today, President Barack Obama named nineteen recipients of the Presi-dential Medal of Free-dom. The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation’s highest civilian honor, presented to indi-viduals who have made especially meritorious

Mayor Jonathan SharkeyBy Tim Pompey

It’s been a tough year for the city of Port Hueneme. A continuing struggle with the Army Corps of Engi-neers over replacing sand on its beach; sidewalk ero-sion along Surfside Drive; and a pier that was recently

damaged in a storm. Still, for outgoing mayor Jona-than Sharkey, the city of Port Hueneme, which he describes as a “jewel of the coast,” remains a wonder-ful place to live.

By Tim PompeyThey served at different

locations around the world and in different war zones, but the African-American veterans who gathered at the downtown branch of the Oxnard Public Library on Saturday, November 1

had one thing in common. They were invited to share their stories as part of the “War Comes Home” lec-ture series coordinated by the Oxnard Public Library and supported by a grant from Cal Humanities.

According to librarian

Karen Schatz, this series is intended to help the com-munity “understand what veterans have been through and to welcome them back so that we can make more of a closer connection be-tween veterans and the community.”

Event coordinator Buddy Gibson pushed for this par-ticular presentation because he felt it was important to acknowledge the commit-ment of African-American veterans throughout Ameri-ca’s military history. He hopes

contributions to the secu-rity or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors. The awards will be presented at the White House on No-vember 24th.

President Obama said, “I look forward to present-

ing these nineteen bold, inspiring Americans with our Nation’s highest civil-ian honor. From activists who fought for change to artists who explored the furthest reaches of our imagination; from scien-tists who kept America on the cutting edge to public servants who help write

new chapters in our Amer-ican story, these citizens have made extraordinary contributions to our coun-try and the world.”

The following individu-als will be awarded the Pres-idential Medal of Freedom: Alvin Ailey (posthumous)

Ailey was a choreog-rapher, dancer, and the

founder of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, which is renowned for its inspiring performances in 71 countries on 6 continents since 1958. Ailey’s work was groundbreaking in its exploration of the African American experience and the enrichment of the mod-ern dance tradition, includ-

ing his beloved American masterpiece Revelations. The Ailey organization, based in New York City, carries on his pioneering legacy with performanc-es, training, educational, and community programs for people of all back-grounds. FREEDOM, See page 12B

Voices and View PointsSeven Strategies of Successful Groups

Dr. Lonnie G. McCowan, pastor of

Miracle Center of VenturaBy Pastor Lonnie G. McCowan

As a pastor and church leader, I understand very well that we are in a battle for souls. The Bible encour-ages us to “endure hardship as a soldier.” This is not to say that we are at war with people, and we need to be very careful to realize that the war we are involved in is spiritual in nature. In fact, the war we are engaged in is far more important than any earthly one. The impli-cations of our war are eter-nal. Victory is not a matter of who will be in charge politically or who will con-trol natural resources. It’s a battle that will determine how many people we can rescue from spiritual bond-age forever. We’re talking about souls for eternity.

In any war, in any battle, there absolutely must be a strategy before the engage-ment starts. I want to share with you seven battle strat-egies that any local church, organization or any group of people need to adopt to

take their communities by storm.1. Strategy one - Unity.

Unity is vital to win-ning. No matter the size, a local church is the body of Christ, which represents order and synergy. When the parts of the body are together in vision, mission, and values, we’re headed for victory. One mistake churches make is to start ministries to meet particular needs without considering how the new ministry will relate to existing ministries. Healthy churches are able to synchronize their leader-ship so that the children’s ministry, teen ministry, music ministry, etc. are all on the same page, working from the same vision.2. Strategy two- flexibil-ity in execution.

Plan, but don’t plan too much. You need strong long-term goals, but not de-tailed long-term strategies. Why? Because over the next decade, you don’t know for sure yet how our commu-nity will change, how cul-ture will change, who will come and go on your staff or among your key volun-teers, or what unforeseen circumstances your church , organization or group may endure. Flexible churches organizations and groups must have a willingness to adjust to change and make improvements on the fly.3. Strategy three-let peo-

ple make decisions.The church works best

when the people who are doing the ministry are mak-ing the decisions, as long as it’s in line with the vision. Micro managing kills cre-ativity in our groups.4. Strategy four- mobility.

Sometimes churches plateau because they have not found any new ways to grow, and they become none relevant to the com-munity around them.5. Strategy five - commu-nication.

We can’t always control how the community thinks about us. The story people tell about our churches, business, etc. will some-times reflect the negative experiences they’ve had or the rumors they’ve heard. But we do have the advan-tage of framing that story by the way we communi-cate our vision.

You will cast the initial image of what your church, organization or group is like with your promotional and marketing materials, your website, your social me-dia presence, the language with which you describe your church, organization or group and your future as a staff and leadership. Re-member that from the strip-ing of the parking lot to the curriculum used by the kids department, everything is communication.STRATEGIES, See page 12A

Words to Live by

By Inez LannsWhere are you going?

What direction are you headed in? Are you so fo-cused on getting some-where that you are totally missing out on the present? It seems that we all work extremely hard trying to get to a better place – whether it is financially, spiritually, emotionally or physically. We strive to be better to-morrow compared to what we were yesterday and how we are today. But are we so focused on where we are trying to get that we miss out on the lessons that we should be gaining while we are on our journey there?

I love taking pictures, and I love social media. I love pictures because they capture an experience and they have the ability of tak-ing us back to that moment. Pictures are visual evidence from an experience. They allow us to see exactly what we, our children, fam-ily, and loved ones looked like in years prior. When a person dies and is no longer

with us, a photo becomes the only visual part of them that we still have with us, so they are important. I also love social media – Face-book, Twitter, and Insta-gram – because they allow me to keep in contact with people I care about. It also saves lots of time and mon-ey because I no longer have to mail photos to all of our loved ones across the world because they can keep up with us on social media. I was at a concert recently, and I wanted to take some

photos to post them online to share the experience. At that moment I realized that taking the photo was actu-ally taking me out of the experience for a moment and placing me behind the lens. I was missing out on fully experiencing that mo-ment in the concert by tak-ing a photo. I decided to put my phone away and be fully engaged in the mo-ment. I have found myself doing that in many experi-ences now – I want to be

Patricia Lynn Belkowitz, C.Ht., EFT-CC

By Patricia Lynn Belkow-itz, C.Ht., EFT-CC

Since you’ve been alive for more than a day, I’m sure you’ve experienced a negative emotion. In fact, if we even think about something in the past that caused us pain or sadness or anger, we experience that emotion all over again. We have actually created a neural pathway in our body which insures that the same emotional response will occur. It all happens be-neath our awareness in our subconscious. Fortunately, the system also works for any thought about a posi-tive emotion or experience.

What I’m going to share with you today may seem strange. It may even sound impossible. I’d like you to consider that in the 1850’s, Louis Pasteur was thought to be a lunatic. His theories about “invis-ible” germs were highly disputed. But, when he

insisted that doctors wash their hands after working on cadavers and before de-livering babies, the mortal-ity rate dropped from 30% to 2%. After that, the medi-cal establishment changed their beliefs.

We may not understand how gravity or electricity or x-rays work, but we are still bound by these “invis-ible” things. It doesn’t mat-ter if we believe, or not.

Science tells us that ALL matter (including the human body) is made of at-oms. No one disputes this fact. Nor does anyone dis-pute that atoms are made of energy. Einstein further emphasized this point with his Theory of Relativity. In simple terms, this means that physical matter (ALL matter, including the hu-man body) is made of en-ergy. Even though we may appear to be solid, our foun-dation is made of energy.

One of the tools I use in

my practice is called EFT or Emotional Freedom Tech-niques. It is a form of En-ergy Psychology, Meridian Therapy, or Thought Field Therapy. We are beings of energy. When we experi-ence a negative emotion or physical discomfort or pain, it is because there has been a disruption in our en-ergy system…kind of like sticking a fork into an elec-trical outlet. EFT works by tapping on a series of points

Antoine Dariaux,“To be elegant is first of

all to know oneself, and to know oneself well requires a certain amount of reflec-tion and intelligence

What is poise: Poise is composure and dignity of manner. It is a graceful and elegant presentation of a person.

What is Good Posture: Basic good posture is stand-ing up straight, and not slouching. Sitting in a chair with your back straight, and legs positioned correctly, depending on if you are a male or female.

What is Elegance: El-egance is a synonym for beauty that has come to acquire the additional con-notations of unusual effec-tiveness and simplicity.

Please keep in mind,

that we are all judged by our first impression, and outer appearance. People immediately notice the way we carry ourselves.

Take the extra time to put one hundred percent effort into your personal appearance. This will en-sure a positive and lasting impression with all those you come in contact with.

Studies show that when you have good posture, and poise, you feel more confident. As you look and feel more confident you act more confident and el-egant, people in turn treat you with more respect.

How you carry your-self, states a lot about who you are. Good posture conveys poise, confidence and a high self-esteem.

By combining good posture, poise, and a con-fident walk, you create the

appearance of someone who is confident, strong, and elegant.

Below are a few basic tips:

Be clean, neat, accesso-ries, make up, perfume and hair should never be over the top. Be graceful, have a pleasing and pleasant ex-pression, and dress appro-priately for the occasion.

If you want people to see you as elegant, and classy, you have to think of your-self that way. Start think-ing of yourself the way you want to be perceived. Sur-round yourself with peers that you perceive are el-egant, classy, and that treat others with KINDNESS and RESPECT.

Statement from Rev. Al Sharpton on Missouri Governor Jay Nixon’s Press Conference in St. Louis

"The statements made today by Governor Nixon were disappointing, in-complete, and evasive, and omitted the central under-lying issues in the case of Michael Brown.

As I stated in my eulo-gy of Michael Brown, we firmly denounce any form of violence or ugliness, but we must also address the underlying police con-duct and lawlessness that surrounds the tensions in Ferguson and the family of Michael Brown.

For the Governor to denounce the violence and ugliness and not ad-dress the militarization of Ferguson in August, in-

cluding policemen wear-ing armbands supporting the policeman who killed Michael Brown, and se-lective leaks of grand jury testimony that could taint the decision of this grand jury, is questionable on all accounts. By releasing videos of Michael Brown, but not releasing a police report of the incident, fur-ther intensifies a feeling of bias and lack of fairness in these proceedings.

Governor Nixon chose not to appoint a special prosecutor when the case began and has not ad-dressed the issues of the police or the prosecutors. That is why the family and

I from the beginning have called for the federal gov-ernment to take over this investigation.

National Action Net-work has worked with local groups and the family since the family called me the day after Michael's killing. We will continue to fight for justice and stress in a balanced way, that we must have non-violent protests but police accountability.

I plan to be in Ferguson with the family when the grand jury decision is an-nounced to continue to rally with that approach in mind."

--Rev. Al Sharpton, President, National Action Network

Why we Celebrate Veterans DayIt is always important

to remember those who have given everything they have in the defense of something greater than themselves. Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs projects there are close to 22 million veter-ans in the U.S.

“There are close to 22 million veterans in the U.S.”

Veterans Day may not be for members of the military, but rather the country at large. As an ac-tive service member and later a veteran, Veterans Day generally means I eat free at Applebee’s or en-joy the awkward feeling that stems from not know-ing how to answer when

someone thanks me for my service. The importance of Veterans Day is to provide a community observance for the few who have cho-sen or been chosen to serve in the military.

The spirit of Veterans Day is encapsulated by various functions through-out the United States, but most notably by the laying of a wreath at 11:00 a.m. by the President of the United States on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Still the history attached to such a day of remembrance may not be fully known. In an attempt to rectify any dis-sonance, here is a short list of facts associated with this national holiday:

1. Veterans Day was originally known as Ar-mistice Day following the end of hostilities during World War I on Novem-ber 11, 1918. The day was established as a day of re-membrance by President Wilson a year later.

2. After World War II and Korea, at the urging of veter-an service organizations, on June 1, 1954, the 83rd Con-gress officially changed the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day in order to honor all veterans.

3. European countries like Britain and France ob-serve Veterans Day on No-vember 11 at 11:00 with a moment of silence.

Loss of Smell Could Predict Death for Elderly

Older adults who’ve lost their sense of smell could be at an increased risk of death within five years, according. A study published in the science journal PLOS ONE reveals that loss of smell in older adults could put them at an in-creased risk of death within five years. (Courtesy photo)

By Dorothy RowleySpecial to the NNPA from The Washington Informer

Older adults who’ve lost their sense of smell — namely, the ability to pick up on strong odors like smelly socks or bacon sizzling in a pan — could be at an increased risk of death within five years, ac-cording to a study involv-ing more than 3,000 people ages 57 to 85.

The study, which pub-lished recently in the sci-ence journal PLOS ONE, revealed in a smell test conducted in 2005, that nearly 40 percent of sub-jects who failed died within five years, compared to a 19 percent death rate within five years for those with moderate smell loss. Ten percent of the test subjects were determined to have a healthy sense of smell.

During the test, “Sniffin’ Sticks,” which resemble felt-tip pens, were loaded with five different scents — peppermint, fish, orange, rose or leather — that sub-jects were asked to identify.

Nearly 78 percent of those tested who were able to identify at least four of the five scents, were clas-sified as having a normal sense of smell.

Almost 20 percent got two or three of the scents right, while the remaining 3.5 per-

cent could correctly identify one or none of the five.

“Compared to a per-son with a normal sense of smell, a person with an ab-sent sense of smell has three times greater risk of dying within a five-year span,” Dr. Jayant Pinto, the study’s lead author, said this month in a phone interview.

“What this tells us is your sense of smell is a great indicator of your overall health,” said Pinto, an associate professor at the University of Chicago, who specializes in genetics and treatment of olfactory and sinus disease.

Pinto, who likened the loss of smell to a canary in a coal mine, added that, “it doesn’t cause death, but it’s

an early warning that some-thing has gone badly wrong.”

In 2010 and 2011, the survey team confirmed which participants were still alive. During the five years, 430 of the subjects, or 12.5 percent, had died.

Researchers also con-ducted interviews to adjust for variables and risk factors, such as age, smoking, alco-hol use, overall health and socioeconomic status. In the end, those with greater smell loss when first tested were substantially more likely to have died five ears later.

“It predicted it quite strongly,” Pinto said.

Special to The Dallas Ex-aminer

Survivors Dr. Renee Hornbuckle and Dr. Sheron Patterson joined forces in the name of sisterhood and solidarity to launch their Pink and Purple Challenge on Oct. 2. The challenge is to wear breast cancer’s pink and purple for domes-tic violence prevention to-gether during the month of October to generate aware-ness for both causes.

The two high-profile sur-vivors have been outspoken champions for their respec-tive causes. Now they are joining forces to create great-er awareness and prevention.

Hornbuckle is senior pastor of Destiny Pointe Christian Center in Arling-ton. Her journey through domestic violence came to light when she released the book, Suffering in Silence: Break The Silence! Let the Suffering End – Let Heal-ing Begin.

Recognizing that many people experience life-changing, overwhelming, unbelievable devasta-tion in life due to crisis or things that happen beyond their control, Hornbuckle has a heart to speak out for those that face life challenges that have lost hope. When it comes to “domestic violence,” she understands that this is an issue that touches all of us

and now after breaking the silence on her own domes-tic situation, she is helping people get out of unhealthy relationships and back on their feet by providing awareness through edu-cation, and by partnering with existing agencies in our community.

“Like me, many find themselves in unstable conditions, involving an impending abrupt change in life,” she explained. “It tends to be of such sudden change that it can cause deterioration to a fam-ily or individual. When an emotionally stressful event or traumatic change occurs in a person’s life it can be quite difficult to get back on track.” Patterson, a United Methodist pas-tor, is a seven-year breast cancer survivor. After a cancer diagnosis in 2007, she mounted a multi-media campaign to help women take control of

their health and face their health problems head-on. Patterson organized survi-vors of breast cancer into house-building groups for Habitat for America. She launched a non-profit called Brave Wellness and raised thousands of dollars to help low-income and no-income women receive free mammograms.

She chronicled her breast cancer saga in the book, The Blessings and Bling: How Faith and Fashion Helped Me Survive Breast Cancer.

“My breast cancer jour-ney taught me two things,” Patterson explained. “There is a lot of fear and shame around the topic of breast cancer. Many women are afraid of getting their annu-al mammograms. They tell me, ‘they just do not want to know.’ Well, here is the truth; early detection saves lives, so finding out can save their lives.CHALLENGE, See page 12A

MOSCOW — A soccer agent says African players at Russian club FC Rostov

are refusing to train after the coach said he would not sign any more black

players.Igor Gamula said he

club had "enough dark-skinned players, we've got six of the things" when asked about rumors Ros-tov could sign a defender from Cameroon.

Agent Paul Mitchell says the club's five African players "are not prepared to train under the current coach until such time as the situation has been dealt with."

Mitchell is the agent for Rostov defender Siyanda Xulu, a South Africa inter-national.

Rostov is one of the host cities for the 2018 World Cup.

Wilson Kipsang crosses the finish line.

By Rachel CohenNEW YORK — Wilson

Kipsang, a former world-record holder, needed to force himself to slow down.

The Kenyan star had entered his first New York City Marathon to chal-lenge himself on a hilly course with no pacemaker. A windy morning made for quite the test, and Kipsang proved he can win a strate-gic race.

"I had to really exercise a lot of patience," he said.

Kipsang pulled away in the final mile for his third major marathon title in just over 13 months. Mary Kei-tany also took the lead late in the women's race for a Kenyan sweep.

Kipsang's record-set-ting victories in Berlin and London were on flat cours-

es with the aid of a pace-maker, when winds were gusting at more than 30 mph at the start. The con-tenders adjusted by cau-tiously sticking to a slow pace.

"It was very tactical," Kipsang said. "So it was

not easy."He finished in 2 hours,

10 minutes, 59 seconds — the slowest winning time in New York since 1995, and more than 7 1/2 min-utes off the world record he set just over a year ago in Berlin.

By Michael Klopman The apparent disdain

Kobe Bryant and Dwight

Howard have for each other was glaring in the fourth quar-ter of their season-opener.

Bryant blanketed the Houston Rockets center as he looked to make an outlet pass from underneath his own basket. Howard then tried to create some sepa-ration with his elbows and struck Bryant in the chin. After a foul was called on Howard, the two started jawing at each other and had to be separated. The officials reviewed the play, handing Bryant a personal foul, Howard a flagrant foul 1 and hitting both with a technical foul.

While the two were trash-talking on the court, Bryant appeared to be tell-ing Howard to "Try me." Bryant continued the trash-talk during the review,

staring at Howard from the Lakers' bench and saying, "You're soft."

Bryant, who reportedly was "a complete turnoff" to Howard when the Lak-ers tried to re-sign him as a free agent in the summer of 2013, was asked after the Lakers' 108-90 loss if he dis-likes his former teammate.

"He's a teddy bear," Bryant said, via the Los Angeles Times. "You can't help but like him. I really mean that. He's a really nice kid. But when you're competing and you have a goal in mind. Certain times we don't see eye to eye."

Lakers head coach By-ron Scott had a different take on the altercation.

"They don't like each other, simple as that," Scott said, per ESPN.com.

B L O O M I N G T O N , Ind. — Indiana freshman Emmitt Holt was cited for misdemeanor underage drinking after he struck teammate Devin Davis with his SUV, leaving Da-vis hospitalized with a se-rious head injury.

Holt and his passen-gers told police that they had dropped off Davis, a 19-year-old sophomore, off at the Memorial Sta-dium parking lot, Bloom-ington Police Sgt. Jeffery Canada said.

Holt was driving away "when, for unknown rea-sons, Mr. Davis came into the roadway and struck the side of the vehicle near the front passenger wind-shield," Canada said.

Police found Davis un-conscious with a head in-jury on the street that's just off the IU campus.

President Barack Obama

By Shahien NasiripourThe Obama administra-

tion retreated from an am-bitious proposal to protect low-income students and taxpayers from wasteful career-training programs and for-profit colleges that saddle students with tax-payer-backed debts they can not repay.

Investors cheered the news, sending shares in major for-profit college chains soaring and signifi-cantly outpacing gains in the broader U.S. stock mar-ket. Student advocates and consumer groups accused the administration of sell-ing out students.

The rule seeks to en-sure that for-profit schools, and nonprofit and public schools offering vocation-al programs, provide their students with "gainful em-ployment in a recognized occupation." The adminis-tration is using the alloca-tion of federal student aid, which amounts to more than $150 billion annually in the form of grants and loans, and provides most

of the for-profit sector's revenues, as a way to either shut down poor-perform-ing schools or force them to significantly improve if they want to continue to reap taxpayer funds.

The proposed version of the rule, published in March, attempted to limit the provi-sion of federal student aid to ineffective schools by judg-ing them on the proportion of student debt their gradu-ates incur in relation to their annual earnings, and the percentage of their students

that subsequently default on their federal student loans. The first measure focused on graduates; the second, on drop-outs.

The final rule, which was subject to White House ap-proval, dropped the loan-de-fault measure. Instead, ca-reer programs only will be judged by their graduates' earnings. The New America Foundation, a Washington policy organization, reckons that most borrowers who default on their federal stu-dent loans are drop-outs.

By Brad SpirrisonWhile the science is

still out on how (and to what degree) gamifica-tion helps elementary and middle school students learn lessons, teachers are increasingly incorporating games into their classroom curriculum. This is partic-ularly true of math games.

A recent survey by the Games and Publishing Council reveals that 74 per-cent of K-8 Teachers are us-ing digital games as part of their regular instruction. Of those teachers, 71 percent are using math games, more than any other subject.

The study, which was funded by the Bill & Me-linda Gates Foundation and organized by a trade group representing compa-nies that presumably ben-efit from increased adop-tion of learning games by educators, called for an in-dustry-wide taxonomy of educational games with a standard evaluation rubric.

The survey results also showed that the biggest problem faced by teachers was the ability to discover quality games (whether they are apps, websites or computer games) filtered by subject, grade and po-tential to teach standards.

While this is the mis-sion of appoLearning and Verizon Educational Tools, there is one new and re-cently capitalized online Algebra app that will soon be on every middle school and early high school math

teacher's radar.Started in South Korea

with recently expanded North American operations in New York City, KnowRe is a com-bination game and adaptive learning tool specifically fo-cused on Pre-Algebra, Alge-bra, and Algebra 2 classes.

Algebra tutorials and lessons on KnowRe are aligned with Common Core Standards, and questions are personalized based on how quickly a student is picking up on a particular concept or lesson.

State NewsJackson Holds Hearing on What California is Doing to Prepare for Extreme Climate Change Events

Wilk Receives 100% Rating from California Chamber of Commerce

Attorney General’s Office Awarded $750,000 to Fight Recidivism

Representative Waters Finds an Unpleasant Surprise Outside Her Home

Ex-Lawmaker Leaves Jail After an Hour

Assemblyman Scott Wilk

SACRAMENTO – For the second year in a row As-semblyman Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, received a per-fect score from CalChamber.

Each year, CalCham-ber produces a list of job creator and job killer bills in policy areas such as en-vironmental regulations, health care costs, labor costs, litigation costs, taxes, water supply and reliability. Members get a point for voting in accord with the Chamber and lose a point for voting against.

The scorecard bills and votes reflect legislator at-

titudes towards private en-terprise, fiscal responsibil-ity and business climate.

"This last legislative ses-

sion was a missed opportu-nity to grow the economy. While we did pass a film tax credit and aerospace tax credit, we should have done more. We failed to address CEQA reform, the rising costs of workers compen-sation or tort reform," Wilk said. "I'm committed to fight for small businesses which employ two out of every three workers."

The 38th Assembly District encompasses Simi Valley, the northwestern section of the San Fernan-do Valley and most of the Santa Clarita Valley.

Congresswoman Maxine Waters

By Heather LaskinCalifornia Democrat

Congresswoman Maxine Waters found an unpleas-ant surprise waiting for her outside her home. A less-than-flattering poster depicting Waters with red eyes and emblazoned with the phrase “Maxine Wa-ters: Poverty Pimp” had been erected on her lawn. The words “N****s bet-ter have my money!” were repeated across the back-ground of the sign.

No one knows as of yet who created and distrib-uted these posters; but they have been seen plastered all over California’s 43rd district, which she has rep-resented since 1991. This area encompasses a large portion of South Central

Los Angeles including Westchester, Playa Del Rey, Watts, the unincorpo-rated areas of Los Ange-les County, and the cities of Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lo-

mita, and Torrance.Waters is one of the

most liberal members of Congress and has openly discussed her strong so-cialist leanings and her support for Islamic Sharia law. Some claim that she tries to “keep her constitu-ents poor and dependent on government assistance to secure her power base.”

Los Angeles Urban Pol-icy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson and others began taking down the posters, saying, “We’re highly offended, we’re disgusted by it.” They are demanding a “fast track investigation” by the Cali-fornia Fair Political Prac-tices Commission to find out who created and dis-tributed the posters.

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris

LOS ANGELES -- At-torney General Kamala D. Harris announced that the California Attorney General’s Office has been awarded nearly $750,000 in federal grant funds for recidivism reduction ef-forts. The funds, which come from the U.S. De-partment of Justice Second Chance Act, will be direct-ed to “Back on Track LA,” a recidivism reduction pilot initiative under develop-ment by the California De-partment of Justice in Los Angeles County in partner-ship with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Depart-ment (LASD), Los Angeles County Probation Depart-ment, local community col-

leges, a local charter school and private foundations. Back on Track LA is one of only four awardees in the country of this Second

Chance Act grant.“We must reject the false

choice of being ‘tough’ or ‘soft’ on crime,” Attorney General Harris said. “This funding recognizes the im-portance of a smart-on-crime approach to criminal justice that focuses on holding of-fenders accountable and put-ting them on track to produc-tive, law abiding lives.”

“The Department of Justice is proud to support innovative efforts like Cali-fornia's 'Back on Track LA' program that use evidence-based strategies to strength-en public safety, reduce recidivism, and improve individual lives,” said At-torney General Eric Holder.

State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson

SANTA BARBARA – State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) held a hearing Friday, No-vember 7, in Santa Barbara that examined what Cali-fornia's state agencies and local governments are do-ing to prepare for the po-tentially serious impacts of climate change and what more needs to be done.

The hearing of the Joint Legislative Commit-tee on Emergency Man-agement, which Jackson chairs, examined how cli-mate change is impacting California, and what state agencies, local govern-ments and others are do-ing to plan and prepare for extreme climate change events such as sea-level rise, hotter and drier sum-mers, and a longer fire season. Discussions also

examined how climate change will impact the state’s water, energy, com-munications, transporta-tion and public safety in-frastructure.

Speakers at the hearing included Mark Ghilarduc-ci, director of the Gover-

nor’s Office of Emergency Services, representatives from the Santa Barbara County’s Office of Emer-gency Management and Ventura County’s Office of Emergency Services and many others.

“It isn’t a question any more of whether climate change is happening. We know it is happening right now. And not only do we need to fight climate change with policies to reduce carbon emissions, we also need to plan and prepare for how it is going to impact our communities over the coming years,” said Jackson. “California is facing a ‘new normal’ as a result of climate change that we’re just beginning to get a glimpse of with this year’s very severe drought.”

Former State Sen. Roderick Wright

By Mollie Reilly California prisons are

so overcrowded that one former lawmaker recently sentenced to 90 days in prison was released almost immediately.

In January, a Los Ange-les jury convicted former state Sen. Roderick Wright (D) on eight felony counts including perjury and voter fraud after prosecutors al-leged that Wright had lied about living in the district he represented. (California law requires state legisla-tors to establish "domicile" in their districts.) Wright was later sentenced to 90 days in jail, and resigned from the state Senate short-ly after his sentencing.

Wright, who has main-tained he is innocent, was due to surrender to authorities and begin his jail term last Friday, October 31. However, as the Sacramento Bee reported Monday, Wright arrived at the Los Angeles County jail facility at 9:40 p.m., and was released at 10:41 p.m., shortly after completing his process-ing paperwork.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokes-woman Nicole Nishida told the Bee that Wright was re-leased due to jail crowding, in addition to his crime's non-violent nature and his lack of prior convictions.

“A lot of people are not serving 100 percent of their time because of over-crowding,” Nishida said.

Wright will still be un-der probation for three years, and is required to perform 1,500 hours of community service.

California spends ap-proximately $2 billion a year on funding its over-crowded prison system, which as of February was at 144 percent of capacity. The state is under court order to significantly reduce its pris-on population by February 2016, and has been required to make more elderly and ill patients eligible for parole.

As the Los Angeles Times reported in August, approxi-mately 13,500 inmates are being released each month from county jails to help relieve crowding. County authorities use different for-mulas to determine which prisoners to release early, often depending on the seri-ousness of the crime.

Golden (State) OpportunityWith a record number of

members in the statehouse, how will the California Legislative Black Caucus leverage a rare moment in history? By McKenzie Jackson & Simeon Gant, California Black Media

Following midterm elections that sent their party reeling nationwide, a key bloc of Democratic lawmakers in California saw their numbers swell with victories won by a record number of African-Americans.

With five new members — Autumn Burke, Tony Thurmond, Jim Cooper, Kevin McCarty and Mike Gipson — winning elec-tion to the Assembly on Nov. 4, membership in the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) will soar to an all-time high of 11. That number is widely expected to increase by one after Dec. 9, when a special election has been scheduled to fill the seat vacated by former State Sen. Roderick Wright.

Sen. Holly J. Mitch-ell, the powerful chair of the CLBC, said the larger number will mean new and valuable perspectives in the caucus, as well as bet-ter representation of the diversity that helps define the California experience.

“We are proud to add to our caucus a small busi-

ness owner, local elected officials and nonprofit leaders who will no doubt shape the policies and programs that our caucus prioritizes — education, expansion of social servic-es, job creation and many other areas,” she said. “We look forward to welcom-ing them in December.”

Of the CLBC’s new members, two — Cooper and McCarty — won in Sacramento-area districts that had never before elect-ed a black representative.

Sacramento-based po-litical strategist Mel As-sagai said Cooper and McCarty, both former city-level office holders, pos-sess distinguished back-grounds and beat out tough competition at the polls. “Both will have an imme-diate impact on a whole range of public policy is-sues important to their constituents in the Greater Sacramento Area,” he said.

Cooper, who has previ-ously served as mayor of Elk Grove and a captain in the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department, was elected in the 9th Dis-trict. During two terms as mayor and four on the Elk Grove City Council, Coo-per helped found the city’s first-ever gang/narcotics unit, established an emer-gency communications center and increased the number of police officers

on neighborhood patrol. He will now represent Elk Grove, Galt, Lodi and por-tions of Sacramento.

McCarty, a former Sac-ramento City Council mem-ber, will represent the 7th District — which encom-passes the outer ring of the northern and eastern Sac-ramento suburbs. A strong advocate of early childhood education, McCarty has been working with lawmak-ers looking to win passage of the California Kindergar-ten Readiness Act.

First-time officeholder Autumn Burke is, in some ways, following a path laid by her mother, Yvonne Brathwaite-Burke — who served as a state legislator, member of Congress and Los Angeles County su-pervisor. The first woman ever elected in the 62nd District, Burke will repre-sent an area that includes El Segundo, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lennox, Westchester, Ma-rina del Rey, Venice and portions of Gardena and South Los Angeles.

Burke, a businesswom-an, is clear about what issues she considers the CLBC should tackle. “We should certainly address recidivism and environ-mental justice,” she said.

Gipson — who has been elected three times to the Carson City Council and serves as district direc-

tor for California Board of Equalization Chairman Jerome Horton — will represent the 64th District, which includes Carson, Compton, Wilmington, Rancho Dominguez and portions of Long Beach.

Thurmond was elected in the 15th District, which takes in portions of 12 cit-ies that include Berkeley, Richmond, and Oakland. Having served as senior director of community and government relations for the Oakland-based Lincoln Child Center and a for-mer member of the Rich-mond City Council and West Contra Costa County School Board, Thurmond is an advocate for the support of at-risk youth, commu-nity-oriented public safety and expanded education and job opportunities.

CLBC political direc-tor and Assistant Majority Floor Leader Chris Holden noted that the election re-sults showcase California as a diverse and inclusive place with opportunities for all residents. “They show that despite demographic challenges, black candi-dates continue to win in all parts of the state,” he said. “It also shows that good candidates trump race.”

Loretta Lynch Expected to be Obama’s Next Attorney General

Loretta Lynch

WASHINGTON -- Brooklyn’s top federal prosecutor, who served as U.S. attorney for the East-ern District of New York in both the Clinton and Obama administrations, is emerging as the leading candidate to replace Attor-ney General Eric Holder as the nation’s top law en-forcement official.

Reports from NPR, CNN, the Wall Street Jour-nal and The New York Times indicate that Loretta Lynch is likely the top can-didate to replace Holder, one of the longest-serving attorney generals in Amer-ican history.

Lynch is known to have

a good relationship with Holder, but was not well-known by President Barack Obama until recently. The

group of other potential nominees included Solici-tor General Donald Verrilli and Labor Secretary Tom Perez. White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in an interview with Bloom-berg published Friday that Obama would name his nominee before Thanksgiv-ing and would potentially seek confirmation during the lame-duck session.

Holder announced in September his intention to resign his post, pending the confirmation of his suc-cessor. If nominated and confirmed, Lynch would become the first minority woman to serve as attorney general.

Shareef Tawwab Hakim

By Terry ShropshireSpecial to the NNPA from The Chicago Defender

This is a question of: does the punishment fit the crime?

A suburban Atlanta man was convicted for stealing a boy’s iPod and was sub-sequently sentenced to 20 years in prison, the Cobb County district attorney said.

According to the AJC, Shareef Tawwab Hakim, 20, of Marietta, was con-victed of robbery and ag-gravated assault, DA Vic Reynolds said. He alleg-edly put a boy in a head-lock and stole his iPod, the district attorney said.

That seems extreme for a non-armed theft.

According to the news-paper, the teenage victim was sitting outside his

Bellmeade Drive apart-ment around 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 22, 2013 when Ha-kim snuck up behind the boy and put him in a head-lock and made off with the

boy’s iPod.Soon thereafter, Hakim

was arrested in November and booked into the Cobb County Jail, where he has been held without bond, booking records showed. During his trial, he took the stand and admitted he took the iPod before being con-victed Thursday in Cobb County Superior Court.

“He is violent, and this is all a joke to him,” As-sistant DA Jaret Usher told Judge Robert D. Leonard II. “His demeanor demon-strates that.”

Leonard sentenced Ha-kim to a term of 20 years, with 12 years to serve in pris-on and the rest on probation, Reynolds told the media.

Darrien Hunt

By Brady McCombsPROVO, Utah — Utah

prosecutors announced that officers were justified in fatally shooting a young man who was wielding a sword as part of a Japanese anime costume.

Two Saratoga Springs of-ficers feared for their lives and the safety of others in the bustling shopping center where the encounter occurred when they fired seven shots at 22-year-old Darrien Hunt on Sept. 10, Utah County At-torney Jeff Buhman said in a news conference.

The shooting has prompting accusations from Hunt's family that he was treated differently because of his race and that his ac-tions didn't warrant deadly force. Hunt was black and the two officers are white.

The Hunt family plans

to file a civil rights and wrongful death lawsuit, said attorney Bob Sykes, who told reporters that a jury would disagree the finding that the shooting was justified.

The fatal encounter was triggered by somebody calling in a report of a sus-

picious person walking with a sword in Saratoga Springs, a middle-class city south of Salt Lake City.

Police Cpl. Matthew Schauerhamer and Officer Nicholas Judson spotted Hunt and began having a nor-mal conversation with him, Buhman said. Hunt said he wanted a ride to a nearby city but when they asked him to give up his sword, he refused and his demeanor changed. That's when he swung the 3-foot metal sword at them, Buhman said.

"This happened so quick-ly, violently and without provocation the officers had to use what was most im-mediately available to them, which was their firearms," Buhman said. He said the investigation uncovered no trace that race or ethnicity played a role in the incident.

By Leigh Weingus An Illinois substitute

teacher reportedly called a group of four middle school girls the N-word after they asked not to be called African-American.

The incident occurred at Jay Stream Middle School in the town of Car-ol Stream during an eighth-grade social studies class. When interviewed by local news outlet WMAQ, stu-dent Mea Thompson, who is of Jamaican descent, said they asked the teacher not to call them African-American since none of them are from Africa.

"She said, ‘It’s the po-litically correct term.' Then she said, 'Well, back then you guys would be considered the N-word,'" Thompson said, recalling the exchange. "We were so shocked and we were like, ‘What? Excuse me? That's not correct to call us that.' She was like, ‘Well, back then that’s what African-Americans were called.’”

The teacher allegedly used the N-word several times over the 80-minute class period.

“After the shock and hurt, I’m angry,” Thomp-son's mother, Shayna, said. “It’s a new world, and the people of the past that still hang onto hatred and big-

otry don’t belong in this world anymore.”

When reached for com-ment, the District Super-intendent William Shields said the events in the class-room are still unclear, but said the teacher would not be returning to the school.

“We’re finding that an awful lot of the accounts on the specific words and actions are extremely in-consistent, so it's very hard to judge this situation,” Shields told The Huffington Post. “We’re proud of the kids. We want them to be able to come to administra-tors and teachers to speak about issues of not feeling safe or secure. That being said ... we’re not having the substitute back because the substitute attempted to teach a lesson outside the curriculum, which we didn’t authorize.”

WMAQ readers took to the comments section to weigh in on the story.

"What justifies the use of the N-word in a class-room, regardless what takes place on TV or on the radio?" wrote one.

"What does the history of the N-word have to do with a child requesting to not be categorized in a cer-tain way?" asked another. "She is Jamaican, not Afri-can-American."

NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks

NEW YORK -- When Bill Bratton was sworn in as head of the New York Po-lice Department in January, he pledged to improve rela-tions between New Yorkers of color and “every mem-ber" of his department.

The abrupt resignation of the department’s high-est-ranking black official may make that task harder.

NYPD Chief of Depart-ment Philip Banks, a 28-year veteran of the force, walked away after rejecting a pro-motion. The Daily News, citing anonymous sources, reported that Banks feared the promotion “would bury him behind a desk.”

Bratton told reporters that he and Banks never fought over policy, saying “we were very simpatico in the under-

standing that the culture of the department needed to be reshaped” -- a clear reference to tense relations with com-munities of color.

But some observers raised an eyebrow at the claim that Bank's resigna-tion had nothing to do with

the department's handling of race. “Most likely, his conscience took the best of him,” said Damon Jones, the local representative of Blacks in Law Enforce-ment of America, a group that advocates for black of-ficers. “I applaud him.”

Bratton became commis-sioner amid outrage over the department’s stop-and-frisk policy, which critics say in-flicted disproportionate harm on young blacks and Lati-nos who had done nothing wrong. Mayor Bill De Bla-sio, who appointed Bratton, pledged to reform the prac-tice. So far, he and Bratton appear to have made good on that promise, as the number of stop-and-frisk encounters has dramatically declined.

Seven Ways to Cut Your Holiday Expenses

By Jason Alderman

When it comes to holi-day spending, waiting in store lines all night and jostling for discounts will mean very little if you don't have a budget that shapes your finances year-round. With the average U.S. household spending $600-$700 in 2014 for the holidays, putting that mon-ey together shouldn't be a game of chance. Here are some tips to get it right:

1. Before you make a list, plan. How's your debt? Do you have an emergency fund or any savings put aside? Start the holiday season by getting a handle on what you owe and what you're spend-ing day-to-day. Then plan a holiday budget (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/YourHolidayBudget) as early as possible that al-lows you to spend wisely.

2. See what spending is really necessary. It's tough to cut young kids

Five Home Improvements to Avoid for Resale

Cops Can Force You to Unlock Phone with Apple Touch ID

AT&T Sued for Reducing Speed of 'Unlimited' Data Plans

Microsoft Releases Wearable Fitness Tracker

Blanche Evans

By Blanche Evans It's only natural to make

the home you bought more comfortable and func-tional for your household. But before you put in a hot tub or convert the ga-rage into a bedroom, think about whether or not these improvements will add or subtract perceived value from your home someday.

Even though selling your home could be years away, keep in mind that not all home improve-ments are welcome to buy-ers. When buyers are ready to buy, they tour multiple homes which can be con-fusing. So, they distin-guish what they've seen by features like "the one with the gorgeous kitchen," or "the one with the ugly pink tiled bathroom." You don't want your home to be the one they make fun of.

Here are just a few items that buyers don't ap-preciate:

1. Outdated finishes. It doesn't matter if you paint

your walls the most fashion-able colors if buyers look up and see popcorn ceilings and wobbly ceiling fans. If you're going to improve a room, update everything, even the light switches.

2. Awkward spaces. You've seen the commer-cial where the family re-models the kitchen and borrows space from the college-age son's bedroom, turning his room into little more than a closet. Knock

out or move walls where you need to, but not at the expense of other rooms.

3. Conversions. Be-ware of changing the origi-nal function of a room. Decking out the dining room as a media room may make sense for your fam-ily, but where will your buyers serve dinner?

4. Bad add-ons. If there's anything worse than not having enough space, it's adding on space that looks stuck to the original house with glue. If you're going to add on to your home, make sure it looks as seamless as possible, with the same quality fin-ishes and floors.

5. Expensive-to-main-tain luxuries. Swimming pools, koi ponds, fountains and putting greens can make backyards a paradise, but they're costly to keep up. Installing lush landscaping that has to be pruned con-stantly to keep its shape is a great hobby, but for future buyers, less is more.

(NewsUSA) - Each tax season, identity thieves find new ways to con honest taxpayers. This year is no different as the IRS warns about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, in-cluding recent immigrants, throughout the country.

Victims are told they owe money to the IRS and it must be paid promptly through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. If the victim refuses to cooperate, they are then threatened with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver's license. Callers are frequently insulting or hostile -- apparently to in-still fear.

Potential victims may be told they are entitled to big refunds, or that they owe money that must be paid immediately to the IRS. When unsuccessful the first time, phone scam-mers sometimes call back trying a new strategy.

The following are common characteristics of this scam:

• Scammers use fake names and IRS badge num-

bers. They generally use com-mon names and surnames to identify themselves.

• Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim's social security number.

• Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it's the IRS calling.

• Scammers sometimes

send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls.

• Victims hear back-ground noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site.

• After threatening vic-tims with jail time or driver's license revocation, scam-mers hang up, and others

off a gift list, so turn to the adults. If your finances are limited, it's worth asking adult friends and family members if they'd consider a gift swap or forego gifts altogether. They might ac-tually think it's a good idea.

3. Attack your every-day expenses. Want to af-ford the holidays? Consider evaluating some expensive habits. Try reducing the amount you are spending on expensive nights out. Cook at home and bring your lunch to work. Use public transportation. Com-pare and cut your auto and home insurance premiums. Turn down the thermostat, dump magazine subscrip-tions, gym memberships and any other budget item you're not using. You'll find that savings build quickly.

4. Browse before you buy. Assuming you've made a tight gift list, create a gift budget (www.practi-calmoneyskills.com/Your-

GiftLog) tracking precisely what you're willing to pay for every item. For must-have, non-negotiable gifts, you may have to pounce be-fore Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday and Monday for both price and selection. Also, don't forget to budget for holiday entertainment www.practicalmoneyskills.com/EntertainmentPlanner). It's a potentially huge cost. Plan ahead and don't waver.

5. Create your own Holiday Club. Online sav-ings and money market ac-counts can allow you to set aside your holiday budget in small amounts through-out the year and they'll pay better rates than the last few banks offering Holi-day Club savings accounts.

By Damon Beres Cops can't make you

give them your smartphone password -- but they can compel you to slap your finger onto your Apple Touch ID device to unlock it, a Virginia court ruled.

It's an odd sort of loop-hole: The Fifth Amendment protects you from offering knowledge that could in-criminate yourself, mean-ing you don't have to tell a cop your phone's password if he or she asks you for it. But you can be required to turn over physical evidence or DNA information. In the Virginia case, the judge ruled that a fingerprint is considered a physical object -- and police are allowed to force you to give it to them.

Apple's Touch ID lets you unlock your iPhone or iPad with your fingerprint, sav-ing you the trouble of typing in a password. The feature made its debut last year and is available on the iPhone 5S, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, iPad Air

2, and iPad Mini 3. The ruling by Virginia

Beach Circuit Court Judge Steven Frucci is linked to the case of David Baust, an emergency medical services captain who was charged in February with attempting to strangle his girlfriend. Prosecutors wanted to access video on Baust's locked phone, the Virginian-Pilot reported.

The Touch ID case is not as binding as a Supreme Court ruling, but it sets a precedent that other cases can

draw on, Mashable noted. According to the Virginian-Pilot, it's unclear how the rul-ing will impact Baust's case. If his phone is protected by Touch ID, prosecutors could access it using Frucci's ruling. If the phone is protected by a passcode or both a passcode and Touch ID, they can't.

One workaround to this issue could be to just turn off your phone if cops ap-proach. In that case, you’d have to enter your four-digit pin when you turn it back on, even if you use Touch ID.

By Timothy Stenovec The Federal Trade Com-

mission announced that it is suing AT&T for slow-ing down the data speeds for some customers who thought they were getting an “unlimited” data plan.

After some customers ex-ceeded a certain amount of data during a billing cycle, AT&T slowed, or "throt-tled," the customers' Internet speed, the agency claims.

"The company has mis-led millions of its mobile customers, charging them for so-called unlimited data plans that were in re-ality not unlimited at all," Edith Ramirez, chairwom-an of the FTC, said during a call with reporters.

The FTC said AT&T did not "adequately" in-form customers who had signed up for the com-pany's unlimited data plan that their speeds would be slowed if they used a cer-tain amount of data, which was sometimes as little as 2 gigabytes during a bill-ing cycle. Streaming one

hour of Netflix in HD can use as much as 3 gigabytes.

The agency alleged that in some cases, AT&T slowed the data speeds of some of these customers by more than 90 percent, preventing people from being able to stream mov-ies, load websites or use the phone's GPS function. The FTC said 3.5 million customers have been throt-tled 25 million times.

In a statement, AT&T's general counsel, Wayne Watts, called the FTC's com-plaint "baseless" and said that the company has been "completely transparent with customers since the very be-ginning” that it would throt-tle people with unlimited plans. The company began the practice in 2011.

"We informed all unlim-ited data-plan customers via bill notices and a na-tional press release that re-sulted in nearly 2,000 news stories, well before the pro-gram was implemented," Watts wrote in a statement to The Huffington Post.

From 2007 to 2011, AT&T was the only car-rier in the U.S. to offer the iPhone. The company stopped offering "unlim-ited" plans in June 2010. Customers who had previ-ously purchased unlimited plans were "grandfathered" in when they signed new contracts, though the FTC said they weren't informed that they may be throttled.

The FTC said that AT&T got thousands of complaints from custom-ers who said their speeds were slowing down. Then, AT&T went after people who canceled their service, the agency said

As phones and apps have become more advanced and wireless networks have gotten faster, consumers have gobbled up increasing amounts of data. In response to increased data consump-tion, wireless companies have moved to tiered data plans, which offer a fixed amount of data each month. If a per-son goes over their plan, they have to pay a penalty.

You Are What You Think, New Study Says

Stress! Don’t Let It Make You Sick

Too Much Milk May Cause Bone Fractures, But Yogurt’s OK

Your health needs change from year to year. And, your health plan may change the benefits and costs each year too. That's why it’s impor-tant to review your Medicare choices each fall. Compare your current plan to new op-tions and see if you can lower some costs or to find a plan that better suit your needs. Open Enrollment is the one time of year when ALL peo-ple with Medicare can see what new benefits Medicare has to offer and make chang-es to their coverage.

Whether you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ll still have the same benefits and security you have now:

• Certain preventive benefits – including cancer screenings – are available at no cost to you when provid-ed by qualified and partici-pating health professionals. The annual wellness visit

lets you sit down with your doctor and discuss your health care needs and the best ways to stay healthy.

• Medicare will no-tify you about plan perfor-mance and use its online Plan Finder to encourage enrollment in quality plans.

• In 2015, if you reach the “donut hole” in Medicare’s prescription drug benefit, you’ll get a 55% discount on covered brand name drugs and see increased sav-ings on generic drugs.

It’s worth it to take the time to review and com-pare, but you don’t have to do it alone. Medicare is available to help.

• Visit Medicare.gov/find-a-plan to compare your current coverage with all of the options that are available in your area, and enroll in a new plan if you decide to make a change.

• Call 1-800-MEDI-CARE (1-800-633-4227)

24-hours a day/7 days a week to find out more about your coverage op-tions. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

• Review the Medicare & You 2015 handbook. It’s mailed to people with Medicare in September.

• If you have limited in-come and resources, you may be able to get Extra Help paying your prescrip-tion drug coverage costs. For more information, visit socialsecurity.gov/i1020 or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778.

(NewsUSA) - What is your everyday routine? Now, consider what it would be like if you had an accident or health condition that changed or prevented your daily activities.

When you sustain an injury to a bone or joint in your body, the things that are inherently second nature can be temporarily disrupted and inhibit you from doing those things you truly enjoy. That is, until you restore your mo-bility with orthopaedic care and rehabilitation.

Many people, of all ages, in the U.S. are faced with mo-bility limitations that require orthopaedic intervention. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), one in four Americans suffers from an impairment that impacts their ability to move.

To inspire patients to fight for their mobility and promote the value of ortho-paedic care to society, the AAOS started the "A Na-

tion in Motion" campaign. This initiative focuses on stories of patients who have experienced a "Sec-ond First," the point in time when a patient, who had lost the ability to do some-thing because of his or her orthopaedic condition, can do the act once again. Pa-

tients who are looking for advice to help restore their everyday lives can find a surgeon close to their lo-cation, research bone and joint health procedures and risks, read other patients' experiences and peruse pain management tips. MOBILITY, See page 12A

By Yagana Shah"You can't teach an old

dog new tricks," you might joke. Or think to yourself, "I'm too old to do that." Stop it, we beg you. A new study shows perceptions of age are as good as reality when it comes to physical functioning.

Researchers from Yale University and University of California, Berkeley set out to find out just how powerful negative -- or positive-- stereotypes or perceptions of aging can be. The study, published in the journal Psychological Sci-ence, found implicit expo-sure to positive associations with aging were shown to be more effective on physi-cal abilities than a similar study which prescribed six months of exercise!

"Negative age stereo-types that older individu-als assimilate from their culture predict detrimental outcomes, including worse physical function," the study's authors wrote.

A total of 100 subjects

between ages 61 and 99 were split into four groups. A control group, an implicit intervention group, an ex-plicit intervention group and a implicit-explicit interven-tion group. According to The New York Times, implicit in-tervention consisted of sub-jects coming in for 15-min-ute sessions, once a week for four weeks. They were shown a smattering of words like wise and spry, coupled with words like senior and old. The explicit intervention group was asked to write about fit, active older people.

After four sessions and follow-up at one and three

weeks, they were given physical tests like their ability to walk, balance and get up from a chair. There were no improve-ments in the explicit in-tervention group, but the implicit intervention group showed considerable im-provements in their fitness.

“People have encoun-tered negative stereotypes for so long, in media and marketing and everyday conversations, that people build up ways to hold onto them. Implicit interven-tions can bypass that," Yale researcher Becca Levy told The New York Times.

By Candy SagonDespite everything

we’ve been told about milk building strong bones and making us healthy, that may not be the case once we’re middle-aged adults, a new Swedish study suggests.

Researchers from Uppsa-la University followed more than 100,000 men (ages 45 to 79) and women (ages 39 to 74) for up to 20 years and found that those who drank three or more glasses of milk a day had a higher rate of death. Even more troubling, the women had more, not fewer, bone fractures.

The research, published Oct. 28 in the British Medi-cal Journal, is one of several recent studies questioning whether increased con-sumption of milk in older adults really protects against bone loss and fractures. The U.S dietary guidelines, for

example, call for adults to drink three cups of milk a day, but public health ex-perts at Harvard note that it’s still not clear how much milk is optimal.

Lead author Karl Mi-chaelsson, a professor at Uppsala, said he had been studying fractures for 25 years and was puzzled be-cause “there has again and again been a tendency of a higher risk of fracture with a higher intake of milk,” he told the Washington Post.

In the study, women who drank three or more glasses a day had twice the chance of dying at the end of the study of those who drank less than one glass a day, he said. They also had a 50 percent higher risk of hip fracture. Men drinking that much milk had a higher risk of cardiovascular death.

One possible explana-

tion, the researchers wrote, could be the high level of natural sugars consumed by drinking that much milk, which other animal studies have found can increase inflammation and cause changes in bone density.

On the other hand, eat-ing cheese, yogurt and oth-er fermented milk products — which have a low level of sugar — seemed to have an opposite effect, protect-ing women against both death and bone fractures, the scientists reported. For each serving of these kinds of dairy products, the rate of death and hip fractures was reduced by 10 to 15 percent in women.

The researchers cau-tioned that the study showed only an association between high milk consumption and fractures, not solid evidence of cause and effect.

By Elizabeth AgnvallScientists have long

known that stress com-plicates a host of health problems. Now they are discovering that chronic stress — a mainstay of modern life — doesn’t merely exacerbate disease, it actually can cause it.

“We are just beginning to understand the ways that stress influences a wide range of diseases of aging, includ-ing heart disease, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and certain types of disability, even early death,” says Shel-don Cohen, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mel-lon University in Pittsburgh who has been at the forefront of stress research for 30 years.

Everyone experienc-es stress, of course, but it’s particularly prevalent among adults over 50. In a recent Harvard Univer-sity-Robert Wood John-son Foundation-NPR poll, about a quarter of 2,500 participants said they’d experienced “a great deal” of stress in the last month. Another poll, conducted in August by AARP, found 37 percent of adults over 50 experienced a major stressful life event in the past year, such as the death of a family member, chron-ic illness or a job loss.

Certainly, many people who are stressed end up eating, drinking and smok-ing more, and sleeping and exercising less — ten-dencies that have obvious negative consequences for our health. But scientists are discovering a much more nuanced picture, says Bruce McEwen, a neu-roscientist at Rockefeller University in New York and the author of The End of Stress as We Know It.

The human body reacts to stress by first pumping adrenaline and then cortisol into the bloodstream to fo-cus the mind and body for immediate action — a re-sponse that has ensured our survival over the millennia. The adrenaline rush from

the initial stress response can occasionally pose health risks, according to Cohen, but the more significant hazard is the subsequent re-lease of cortisol. Generally considered a bad stress hor-mone, cortisol does serve many important functions — one of which is turning off inflammation. But when chronic stress exposes the body to a relentless stream of cortisol, as happens when stress is constant, cells be-come desensitized to the hormone, “causing inflam-mation to go wild,” Cohen says. Long-term chronic in-flammation damages blood vessels and brain cells, leads to insulin resistance (a pre-cursor to diabetes) and pro-motes painful joint diseases.

HBO Developing African-American Sibling Comedy

By Jessica Goodman Robin Thicke and Phar-

rell Williams lost the first round of their "Blurred Lines" lawsuit against Marvin Gaye's estate. Ear-lier this year, the two mu-sicians filed a lawsuit af-ter receiving threats from Gaye's family, who ac-cused Thicke and Williams of stealing parts of their hit song "Blurred Lines" from Gaye's "Got to Give It Up." Gaye's estate then filed a countersuit, claiming that Thicke had a "Marvin Gaye fixation," in addition to stealing music. Now, a California judge ruled that the songs may be substan-tially similar.

U.S. District Judge John Kronstadt denied Thicke and Williams' motion for summary judgement, citing that there was enough evi-dence to move forward with the Gaye family's claim. He wrote that the "defen-dants have made a sufficient showing that elements of 'Blurred Lines' may be sub-stantially similar to protect-ed, original elements of 'Got to Give It Up.'"

Kronstadt's ruling saw

similarities in the two songs' bass lines, keyboard parts, vocal lines, melodies and harmonies. The trial is scheduled for Feb. 10, 2015.

The lawsuit made head-lines last month when The Hollywood Reporter ob-tained depositions from April, which contained bi-zarre revelations about the making "Blurred Lines." Thicke admitted that Wil-

liams wrote the song, though he tried to take credit for it, that he was "high on Vicodin and al-cohol" during studio time and lied about the process of writing the song in pre-vious interviews.

Billboard reports that the case could be one of the biggest trials over al-leged song theft ever.

HBO has some new Bros.

The premium cable ser-vice is developing com-edy Bros from writer Cory Jones (Hand of God) and Hemingway Taylor Pro-ductions. The story centers on three African-American brothers — two straight, one gay and all very differ-ent — looking for love and happiness in Los Angeles. Bros is based on Heming-way Taylor's 12-minute

presentation of Bros.The project marks the

first sale for director Antho-ny Hemingway (Red Tails, The Wire, Newsroom) and producing partner Mark Taylor’s Hemingway Tay-lor Productions banner. Taylor is a former produc-tion executive with TNT and HBO.

Hemingway and Tay-lor will executive produce. Lena Waithe (Dear White People) will co-exec pro-

duce with Jones; Heming-way will direct the project.

The comedy comes as broadcast networks have found success this fall with a major diversity push on the heels of ABC's Scan-dal. ABC has African-American family comedy Black-ish as well as Viola Davis drama How to Get Away With Murder, both of which have been picked up for full seasons.

A "release confirma-tion" and tracklist for a "Beyonce Volume 2" al-bum has been floating around Twitter. The memo includes 10 new songs -- including new collabo-rations with Nicki Minaj, Justin TImberlake and Rihanna -- and 11 new videos. Vibe Magazine points out that a Beyonce and Rihanna collaboration has been in the rumor mill for months now. Wonder-ingSound also notes that this could explain why Minaj’s "The Pinkprint," which was originally set for Nov. 24, was pushed back to Dec. 15. The docu-ment states that a digital

edition of the album would drop on Nov. 14, and that a four-disc physical copy -- including "Beyonce" and a DVD from both her Mrs. Carter World Tour and the On The Run tour -- would

get released on Nov. 25. Would it be hard to doc-

By Jonathan Landrum Jr.ATLANTA — The

Roots are tapping into their resources to help raise funds for their alma mater in Philadelphia.

The Grammy-winning hip-hop band created the CAPA Foundation after learning that $1.1 mil-lion had been cut from the budget of the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts.

Budget cuts resulted in the loss of 19 teachers and staff members since 2012. Funding for clubs and ex-tracurricular activities has been eliminated, and the school's annual theater production was canceled.

"I'm taking this as a state of emergency," said Roots drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson.

He and band member Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter formed the band in 1987 after meeting at CAPA, regarded as Philadelphia's premiere performing arts high school.

The Roots are the house band for NBC's "Tonight" show. Other musical artists including Boyz II Men and Jazmine Sullivan attended the high school.

"It cultivated us. It edu-cated us," Thompson said of CAPA. "This is more than just pay it forward or celeb guilt. This is neces-sary. ... It keeps you out of trouble. It helps develop your personality. If you take that away, you're just a machine."

Thompson considered donating $1 million, but his manager persuaded him to use his relationship with corporate sponsors. The drummer said there are a few companies willing to help, and a "substantial" amount has been donated, with "seed money" from Thompson and Trotter.

The nonprofit organiza-tion aims to raise $500,000 annually for the first five years and then $1 mil-lion annually after that, Thompson said.

CAPA plans to provide funding for purchasing books and classroom sup-plies, restoring clubs and after-school activities and renovating CAPA's theater.

Crack Calls for ReparationsHarry C. Alford

NYPD’s “Aggressive Policing”

Lee A. Daniels

Last week I wrote about the shocking story of how our Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) willfully brought crack cocaine into the Black neighborhoods of our nation to make cash for financing a revolution in Nicaragua. This is go-ing down as the vilest act perpetrated against a spe-cific race of people. An agency of our nation per-formed and managed the dastardly act and must be held accountable. In other words, reparations are due. They are due but they will never come unless we start acting and demanding jus-tice. There has been talk of reparations for the ef-fects of slavery. That isn’t going to “fly” as too much time has gone by to calcu-late just how much damage was done and who deserves what. This atrocity here, the Crack Invasion of Black America, is very fresh and many of the ills are still tak-ing place. Reparations must be placed on the “table”.

As the CIA started spreading truckloads of crack into our neighbor-hoods via street gangs such as the Bloods and Crips they started forming all of the bad ingredients for chaos and decay. As the crack hit the streets, weap-ons started to flow also. Weapons and drugs are the

Three reports released this month on the arrest activities of the New York City Police Department should ratchet up the al-ready significant question-ing of the department’s use of the “broken win-dows” approach to polic-ing. That theory asserts that cops’ zero tolerance of such misdemeanor crimes as possession of small amounts of marijuana and such quality-of-life viola-tions as loitering not only improves neighborhoods’ quality of life in small ways, it also sends a signal that more serious crimes won’t be tolerated, either.

The claim that arrest-ing individuals for such things as possessing what are often trace amounts of marijuana or riding one’s bicycle on the sidewalk de-ters other individuals from committing burglary, rob-bery, rape and murder has long been the subject of vigorous debate.

But one thing is clear about the NYPD’s use of broken windows: Black and Hispanic New Yorkers in wildly disproportion-ate numbers are the targets of this “aggressive” po-licing – not because they violate these rules more than Whites but because the police seek them out in order to build their arrest statistics. That use of the

The most common mod-el of college attendance is that a young person who graduates from high school and heads directly to col-lege, perhaps taking a year off in between to work, take a “13th class. While many students start off right after high school, some of them have breaks in their higher education, dropping out to save money to continue, or to deal with family matters.

The most common model is not the only model, however. Mature adults who did not attend or finish college through the most common model are referred to as “return-ing students” or “nontra-ditional students.” Some get their degrees through online programs. A few colleges (Bay Path College in Massachusetts, is one example) have developed Saturday programs where women can earn a four-year degree by attending college only on Saturdays.

Concerned by high un-employment rates and ea-ger to enhance their em-ployability, many mature college students turn to for-profit colleges (some-times called “career col-leges”) for their education. Some of these students, barraged by television ads, are convinced that for-profit colleges, where they can attend during the eve-ning or online, allow them the flexibility they need to manage work, family

Each year at Hallow-een, our neighborhoods are bustling as children go door to door dressed as zombies, vampires, skel-etons or something else fantastic and scary. For many children Hallow-een is the rare occasion to indulge in a fun time of ghost stories and goblins and trick or treats. But at the end of the night they put away their costumes and make-believe in their closets and return to their normal lives.

Sadly, too many chil-dren do not have normal or safe or protected lives and their monsters are real. They do not have closets in many homeless shelters or on the streets or church steps where they some-times live with home-less parents. They are not safe in drug and violence infested neighborhoods and suffer chronic hunger especially on weekends and during long summer months when school is out.

It should not and does not have to be this way! It is shameful that children are the poorest group in America because of un-just political choices and skewed values that help the wealthiest and power-

ful at the expense of poor and voiceless children. Consider this:

• The latest poverty sta-tistics show 14.7 million poor children in America; 6.5 million in extreme pov-erty – a slight improvement but far from enough. Our goal must be to end child poverty in America and the misery it breeds now. It is unacceptable that:

• Nearly 1.3 million public school students were identified as homeless dur-ing the 2012-2013 school year, 100,000 more than the year before and an 87 per-cent increase since 2007;

• In 2011, 19,350 chil-dren and teens died or were injured by guns – more than 18 classrooms with 20 students every week.

• Nearly 8.6 million children — 1 in 9 — lived in households where chil-dren did not always have enough to eat in 2013, a rate 27 percent higher than before the recession.

The monsters these children face are not acts of God but the results of our unjust choices as a na-tion. We must work togeth-er to wrestle the monsters of poverty, homelessness, hunger, and gun violence to the ground.

Ending child poverty in the world’s largest econo-my should be a no brainer. Children cannot afford the burden of poverty. And our nation cannot afford the costly economic and moral burden of child poverty. Child poverty costs our na-tion half a trillion dollars every year in lost produc-tivity and extra health and criminal justice costs.

As a country, we can-not hope to build a strong competitive future if we continue to allow millions of children to grow up poor and without the health care and education and other supports those of us who are more privileged enjoy.

and education. And since federal funds, such as Pell grants and subsidized loans, are available to take care of costs, some stu-dents who attend for-profit colleges are pressured to take out these loans. If they drop out, they are still re-quired to repay their loans, just as they would have to in any other college.

But all colleges are not created equal. About once a week, I get a call from a mature student whose time at a career college was un-rewarding. One woman failed a math test but could not get feedback from her instructor on what she did wrong. Appeals to others in the chain of command went unanswered.

In another case, a young woman desperately needed counseling. She ended up getting it from a commu-nity organization, not from her career college. To cite just a few cases to make a point is casual empiricism, but my direct knowledge of some students’ plight raises a few questions for me.

Many students get train-ing, but not jobs. Many are saddled with loans they can-not ever afford to repay; and the costs of attending career colleges are high. The De-partment of Education esti-mates that it costs four times as much to attend a career college as to attend a com-munity college.

Why are costs so high when services are so limited?

Partly because many ca-reer colleges are publicly traded and the pressure is on for them to make a profit to provide dividends for their shareholders. An-other reason is that salaries for leaders are extremely high. At ITT Technical In-stitute, CEO Kevin Mon-day earned $8.76 million in 2012. DeVry University President Daniel Hamburg-er earned $6.4 million in 2012. The Apollo Group, which includes the Univer-sity of Phoenix, paid Greg-ory Cappelli $4.54 million in 2013, and the Chairman Emeritus received nearly $7 million each year in 2012 and 2013. In contrast only four presidents at pub-lic universities earned more than a million dollars. Har-vard’s president earns about $900,000, but some of her benefits boost her salary to about 1.2 million.

These so-called career colleges are actually profit centers. The disproportion-ate enrollment of Black and brown students means that folks who are already poor and underpaid are creating profits for these publicly traded companies and their overpaid leaders. At ITT Technical Institute, the overwhelming majority COLLEGES, See page 12A

‘broken windows’ policy is evident from the statis-tics found in three separate reports released this month by three different New York City-based entities.

John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York produced a massive study of misdemeanor arrests in New York City (and four other cities in New York state) from 1980 to 2013. The Drug Policy Alliance, which urges reforms in drug-related policies and usage, issued a report on the racial disparity of mari-juana arrests in the city dur-ing the corresponding six months of 2013 and 2014. And the Police Reform Or-ganizing Project (PROP), an advocacy organization which seeks to change what it considers unjust police practices, published the results of its September monitoring of nearly 200 arraignments in three of the city’s criminal courts.

One set of statistics in the John Jay report shows that in terms of the crime rate as well as in absolute numbers, both violent and nonviolent crime in New York City has declined in “unprecedented” fashion since reaching a peak in the late 1980s. For example, the number of robberies fell from 100,550 in 1980 to 19, 128 in 2013; murders de-

clined from 1,821 in 1980 to 335 last year; and motor vehicle thefts fell from 96, 471 to 7,400.

But the decline in serious crime – and thus, the decline in arrests for serious crime – was countered by an even sharper rise in police arrests for misdemeanors. They rose from an arrest rate of 1,174 per 100,000 citizens in 1980 to 3,411 per 100,000 in 2013—an increase of 190.5 percent.

And guess what, in New York City arrests and summonses for these transgressions, in which street cops can exercise great discretion in how se-riously to treat the matter, skyrocketed for Black and Hispanic citizens. From 1990 to 2013, for exam-ple, the misdemeanor ar-rests of Whites increased from 21,815 to 28,996; for Hispanics, from 30,885 to 78,733, and for Blacks, from 56,152 to 104, 659.

The Drug Alliance re-port shows how the impact of racial targeting plays out in marijuana arrests, which are overwhelmingly concentrated among teen-agers and young adults. It found that, despite the fact

main ingredients for urban warfare. AK-47’s was the weapon of choice, Funny, you can’t buy an AK-47 in this nation (its Russian made) but thousands of them started appearing in gang fights, robberies, etc. It would take the sophis-tication and power like a CIA operation to pull this off. Local police depart-ments would assign man-power to assist the agents in this onshore invasion.

The fast cash started flowing which made the gangs more aggressive. Some were downright vi-cious. An example is when a gang leader was murdered in St. Louis, it proved to not be enough vengeance for the perpetrators. After the funer-al, the rivals went to the cem-etery, dug up his coffin and took the body to the victim’s grandmother’s home and tossed it on her porch. That’s how vicious our youth were becoming. That’s how dan-gerous our beautiful neigh-borhoods were becoming. Hope started fading fast.

Oh, about that revolu-tion in Nicaragua. The Contras who were being supported by the CIA’s profits from the drug run-ning were defeated. Today, Daniel Ortega is still Presi-dent of the nation of Nica-ragua. They wanted him out so bad even though his

people have repeatedly re-elected him to office. The United States now has a free trade agreement with the nation via the Cen-tral American Free Trade Agreement – CAFTA. Was it just a rouse? That failed but the drug smuggling continued. Maybe this was about applying harm to a particular segment of our population i.e. Blacks and especially Black males.

Drug dealing was every-where and in plain sight. I remember (in 1990) driving down 79th street in south Chicago and observing a “bank” of about 20 pay phones. Each phone had a line of ten or more people waiting to place their drug order. I thought obviously the police would see this and condone it. My friend owned a Shell gas station in Indianapolis and he in-stalled a pay phone to see if it would draw business. His sales skyrocketed as dealers and buyers would drive up to his station and communicate on that pay phone. He would make $500 - $700 dollars a day off the quarters dropping into that busy phone booth.

MAYORFrom page 1AHueneme since 1983 and has served on its city council since 1994. This is his fourth time as mayor. After so many years liv-ing in and governing the city, he feels he has good reason to love Hueneme. “That’s just basic civ-ic pride,” he noted. “The city is small but sparkling and we work very hard to keep it attractive.”

Some of that beauty has been challenged in the last year or so by damage to the beach on Surf-side Drive. Ironically, it’s a beach that didn’t exist before the Navy decided to construct Hueneme’s deepwater harbor back in 1939. “They wanted to make the en-trance to the channel as gentle as possible,” he said. “That’s why the breakwaters are there.”

But those breakwaters have been problematic from the begin-ning. “The Navy realized when it took over the harbor in WWII that they had a problem with ero-sion on the lee side of the jetty,” Sharkey explained, “and by the early 1950s, the erosion was so bad it went right up to where the railroad tracks are now.”

Sharkey referred to the har-bor development act in 1953 that authorized the construction of Channel Islands Harbor and charged the Army Corps of En-gineers with the restoration and maintenance of Hueneme Beach. One of the Corps’ responsibili-ties has been to periodically re-place the 2.4 million cubic yards of sand along Surfside Drive as it gets washed away.

But in recent years, funding for this task has been slashed and the amount of sand being replaced has shrunk accordingly. “The last few years, it’s been get-ting less and less,” said Sharkey. “We’ve been getting 1.6 million on good years. Two years ago we got 300,000 cubic yards.”

After years of trying to get the Corps to live up to its respon-sibilities, the city finally received help via its local Congressional representative. “We’re thank-ing Julia Brownley,” Sharkey acknowledged, “who took it to the President, and for the first time in years we got our full two-year allotment. Still, we’re so far behind, we’ll have to go back to next year and the year after that just to catch up to where we should be.”

Currently sand is being pumped onto the beach. Sharkey expects that project to continue through February or March of next year.

The sand dilemma has led to a serious erosion problem along the sidewalk bordering Surfside Drive. Again, Sharkey credits local California representatives for stepping in and helping. “We got a lot of help from Jeff Gorell, Das Williams, and Hannah-Beth Jackson,” he reported. “They got us two million dollars through the Coastal Conservancy to help with the cost.”

But even with financial as-sistance from federal and state agencies, the city’s reserves have been heavily impacted. Sharkey estimates that while they’ve re-ceived two million dollars in as-sistance, the city has spent three million out of pocket to complete the repairs.

Furthermore, they’re com-pletely on the hook for the dam-age to the cracked pylons hold-ing up Hueneme Pier. “What we found when we got in there are that a lot of the pilings in the water now are basically in the sand,” he said. “We discovered that some of these were worse than we thought. We’re replacing eight pilings. Hopefully it will be reopened by the end of the year. I like to say it’s a little Christmas present to the community.”

Sharkey notes how it’s got-ten harder for small coastal cities to stay afloat. In addition to the storm damage, Port Hueneme is economically challenged by its inability to raise sales tax rev-enues. “Since Prop 13, it’s all about sales tax,” he said. “We don’t have an auto mall, don’t have any outlets, or anything major as sales tax revenue, and monies for redevelopment are gone. So, it’s a lot harder now to build up those reserves.”

As further complication, raising taxes in Port Hueneme through standard means like bal-lot measures has become very challenging. “One of the things that concern me is that there’s no limit to any amount of money that a big corporation can funnel into an election,” he said. “Our ability to run a city is being hin-dered by large corporate interests who don’t want any change to the tax revenue structure.”

Sharkey however remains optimistic that the city can be financially stable. He points to the development on Victoria Av-enue behind the Mandalay shop-ping center. “There’s a very nice mixed use development that’s in process right now,” he said. “Some housing, retail, and com-mercial. There’s a Ross store that’s going to be opening up, and we’re starting to get more ac-tivity along the Channel Islands retail corridor.”

He believes more could be done, but developers seem to be hesitant to take the first step. “There’s an awful lot of money sitting on the sidelines,” he ob-served. “I think there are devel-opers out there looking for some place to invest, but they’re wait-ing for someone to go first.”

For all of its challenges,

Sharkey still believes that Port Hueneme is one of the best Cali-fornia coastal cities to live in. He points to the 50-acre Huen-eme Beach Park complete with a walking promenade, fishing pier and lighthouse; a mid-city green belt in Bubbling Springs Park; and the largest commercial deep-water harbor between Los Ange-les and San Francisco.

But what he loves most are the people who call Port Hue-neme home. “This is a very un-pretentious kind of place,” he said. “People here participate in community life. It’s a small town with a lot of diverse people, and with all this diversity, it’s kind of fun being here. It certainly makes life interesting.”

STRATEGIESFrom page 2A6. Strategy six - know the en-emy’s weaknesses.

We are good at observing how Satan is working, but often poor at observing how Satan is failing. We can see that people live for pleasure, for money, or for success to the detriment of their spiritual growth. What we sometimes forget is the that at the end of this endless, vain search for significance, Satan’s solutions always leave people hungry and thirsty for more. Knowing this weakness helps us to be ready at all times with the answer. 7. Strategy seven - reasonable risks.

There is always a cost to suc-cess and winning. Having count-ed the potential costs of success, we must decide that victory is worth the risk involved. Obvi-ously this doesn’t mean making decisions blindly or foolishly. It means being confident in the Holy Spirit’s direction and put-ting everything on the line for the sake of souls.

INVISIBLEFrom page 2Aon the body that correspond to acupuncture points in the energy meridian system. EFT is like emotional acupressure.

Emotional Freedom Tech-niques can be used daily to re-lease a long list of emotions from every bothersome specific event you’ve ever experienced. It can also be used to release fears and tap away limiting beliefs that keep you from living the life you want. Belief in the process is un-necessary. EFT is like gravity or electricity. It works whether you believe in it or not. You just have to do it. Persistently and consis-tently.

If you consider a wanted or unwanted thought, you will feel a wanted or unwanted emo-tion. If you choose to change the thought, you’ve changed the emotion, and therefore you have changed the creation. EFT helps us to make that choice on an energetic, “invisible” level. It is simply a matter of choose your thought…choose your life. When you’re ready to look at the “invisible” things, I’m here to show you the way.

TODAYFrom page 2Afully engaged in whatever I am a part of as a participant and not the photographer or person who “checks us in.”

This past Saturday, I went and saw Nick Vujicic (from Life Without Limbs, see www.lifewithoutlimbs.org), and he brought up such a great point. He said that when children are in el-ementary school they can’t wait until they are older, but when they are older they wish that they were younger. He went on and said that middle school and younger high schoolers cannot wait until they are seniors, but when they get to be seniors they are going crazy getting ready for “real life” and at that point wish they were younger. When people get into college (where they couldn’t wait to go when they were younger) they then wish that they were back in high school where things were easier. And it seems that this is the case for many. Instead of fully enjoy-ing today and getting everything out of today, we are often focused on gaining something better later.

It is great setting goals and having a plan. Goals and plans serve as guides and help keep us on track. Personally, I am a planner and probably overdue it with my lists – I usually evalu-ate my goals quarterly to keep myself on track. But I don’t want to get so caught up in my plan-ning and evaluating that I miss out on getting what I need out of the process. I am all for getting better and doing better in life, but I don’t think that we should get so focused on the planning at the expense of missing out on today. As a matter of fact, tomorrow is not promised. I am not trying to be negative when I say that, but I am encouraging you to make the most of right now.

Learn from yesterday. Don’t spend all of your time wishing

you were back where you used to be. Plan for tomorrow and for the future, but don’t allow your future planning consume your present. Be fully engaged in what you are doing today. Em-brace where you are today. Even if it’s not where you want to be, you can get everything you can out of it so that you will learn lessons today that will keep you from going there again in the future. Too many people spend their time wishing things were the way that they used to be or wishing things can be something else in the future. You had what you did yesterday, and that’s in the past. Learn from it. You de-sire to go somewhere in your future, but don’t be so focused on that that you miss out on the present. What you do have at this very moment in time is today. Make the most out of today and fully live in today.

CELEBRATEFrom page 2A

4. The burial of unidentified American soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was approved by Congress on March 4, 1921.

5. After 1968, Veterans Day and three other national holidays were observed on different days than previously established and only on Mondays. The holiday was officially returned to the day of its inception in order to quell confusion after 1975 by Presi-dent Ford.

SMELLFrom page 3Aand Latinos lost their ability to smell faster than whites. The participants, who included infor-mation about their race and eth-nicities, answered questionnaires about their physical and mental health, social and financial re-sources, education, and alcohol or substance abuse.

The study concluded that Af-rican-Americans are more likely to suffer from a related health disparity not explained by gen-der, education, cognition, physi-cal or mental health, and health behaviors.

“We have long known that men begin to lose their sense of smell some years sooner than women, but this [particular study] is the first to point to ra-cial or ethnic differences,” Pinto said. “What surprised us was the magnitude of the difference. The racial disparity was almost twice as large as the welldocumented difference between men and women.”

Meanwhile, according to of-ficials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, the sense of smell, which can diminish significantly past age 70, may be related to loss of nose nerve endings and lack of mucus produced in the nose.

Also, while decreased smell can lessen interest and enjoy-ment in eating, the risk of danger increases because a person can-not smell odors such as natural gas or even smoke from a fire just starting.

In addition, researchers at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that the most common causes of permanent smell loss are upper respiratory infections, head trauma or injury, and chron-ic rhinosinusitis.

Other less common causes of smell loss, they report, include chronic alcoholism, epilepsy, and neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

HARRISFrom page 6A“Under the Justice Department's Smart on Crime initiative, we are working with programs like this one to break the cycle of crimi-nality and incarceration that traps too many communities and dev-astates too many families, and to help build the more effective criminal justice system that all Americans deserve.”

In May 2014, Attorney Gen-eral Harris announced the cre-ation of her recidivism reduction pilot initiative in Los Angeles County. The Back on Track LA program will deliver critical ed-ucation and comprehensive re-entry services before and after an offender is released from jail. The pilot program will build on the Sheriff Department’s “Edu-cation Based Incarceration Pro-gram,” through a partnership with FiveKeys Charter School and the Los Angeles Communi-

ty College District – specifical-ly, Los Angeles Mission College and Los Angeles Trade-Tech-nical College– and Santa Anita Community College District’s College of the Canyons. The partnership will provide higher education opportunities to in-carcerated participants includ-ing prerequisites to community college degrees, credentials and certificates.

GOLDENFrom page 6AByron Jones-Sawyer, Dr. Shir-ley Weber and Sebastian Ridley-Thomas.

Assagai said the expanded membership in the CLBC is a demonstration of the political intelligence of black candidates and voters. “These candidates and the voter base that supports them have a political acumen that’s vastly underestimated, if not overlooked altogether,” he said. “These candidates — all of the new members of the Legisla-tive Black Caucus — were able to look at their voter bases, their potential supporters and oppo-nents, and devise winning strat-egies based on what they bring to the electorate. It’s a brilliance that should be both appreciated and applauded.”

Clint Thompson, a medical salesperson who said he takes his right to vote very seriously, is heartened by the knowledge that African-Americans will have an amplified voice in the state legislature.

“It really shows that blacks can have positions of power too,” said the Venice resident. “It’s good to know there are some people making laws that have my same complexion.”

OFFICERFrom page 7A

But Bratton’s tenure has been marked by several other racially charged developments. In July, Eric Garner, an unarmed black man, died after police put him in a chokehold while attempt-ing to arrest him for selling loose cigarettes. In response, Bratton announced that the entire depart-ment would be retrained.

The death drew attention to Bratton’s policy of cracking down hard on petty offenses like pot possession and dancing in the subway. Critics say this “broken windows” strategy lands espe-cially hard on people of color.

HOLIDAYFrom page 8A

6. Watch gas and shipping. Smart shoppers weigh the value of store trips versus online shop-ping. They also keep an eagle eye for advertised online and shipping discounts. Sign up for special deals and coupons, con-solidate in-person trips to stores and make sure you review return policies at online and bricks-and-mortar stores before you buy. Paying return fees or miss-ing a window to return a gift en-tirely can cost big money.

7. Keep good records. Whether you track your financ-es on paper or on a computer, develop a system that allows you to match your holiday list to what you spend every year. Good recordkeeping not only allows you to track the numbers, but also prevents you from du-plicating gifts or overspending year to year. And it’s always a good idea to keep a list of what you get from others to make sure you’re thanking people ap-propriately.

Finally, consider whether it’s worth making new holiday traditions that go beyond gift giving. Some families consider contributing throughout the year to a joint vacation or reunion fund to bring everyone togeth-er. You might also consider the needs of aging or needy rela-tives who need assistance with chores, transportation or pet care. The holidays are what you make them.

MOBILITYFrom page 9A

To help patients develop re-alistic goals about their recovery, Dr. Elizabeth G. Matzkin, assis-tant professor at Harvard Medi-cal School, and chief of Wom-en’s Sports Medicine, prefers to assess her patient’s surgical re-covery and rehabilitation expec-tations with in-depth interviews.

“Sometimes I tell people: ‘I’m so glad you’re not in any pain or that you’re not uncom-fortable, but you need to take it easy so this heals.’ A lot of proce-dures take at least three months to heal,” said Dr. Matzkin.

According to the AAOS, “all surgeries have a minimum recov-ery time during which the patient will not be able to participate in all of the activities he or she did before the surgery, injury or onset of their orthopaedic condi-tion.”

“I have patients who say, ‘I will work really hard; I’m a fast healer.’ And I say, ‘The recovery is still recovery,’” said Dr. Matz-kin.

OBESITYFrom page 9Apeople between the ages of 12 and 19 were obese in 2012. In 1980, that percentage was only five. Eighteen percent of chil-dren between the ages of six and 11 are currently obese, compared to seven percent 30 years ago.

Cuesta has been working in the arena of health, fitness and wellness since the late 90s, first as a counselor for Jenny Craig, and then in various roles includ-ing a life coaching business and her current for-profit enterprise, Reinvent U Boot Camps, which addresses the health and fitness needs of women.

Cuesta is now combining her love and business acumen in the area of health and fitness with a concern for area homeless youth, and is seeking to combat obesity by taking a new program, called Fit 2 Change, into local homeless shelters.

Fit 2 Change has various components, including a fitness component called ‘Move’, a nu-trition component called ‘Home Cooking,’ and a self-esteem pro-gram called ‘IMAGE’ (In Me A Greatness Exists). All of the components look to team experts in their respective fields (fitness trainers for Move, professional chefs for Home Cooking) with the youth population at homeless shelters in order to teach them physical fitness, how to cook for themselves, and how to combat the sort of negative feelings that can drive bad health habits.

CRACKFrom page 11A

At the same time, our federal government launched the “War on Drugs” which turned out to be a war on Blacks. Before the crack invasion there were 40,000 people incarcerated for drugs. 30 years later, there are more than 500,000. Sentencing guidelines became wicked and mandatory. Three strikes/you’re out started in California. Many states such as California began building more prisons than col-leges. The “Prison Industrial Complex” was officially opened for business.

As the property values of our neighborhoods started sink-ing and the deaths/incarcera-tions started climbing, the idea of rehabilitation started fading away. Once a Black youth goes into the system he/she may nev-er get out. A person lives in the “hood” and is drafted by drug gangs (he will be murdered for refusing) his life becomes mis-erable. After the first incarcera-tion he finds the rules of parole or probation to be impossible to adhere to. No decent job is available to a felon. He cannot associate with other felons and that rule is impossible to follow. His family, neighbors, and ev-eryone else in his environment is a felon. He is discriminated from equal housing opportunity and there is no other road to choose from other than the same one he came out of.

Our poverty levels and qual-ity of life are worse now than they were 40 years ago. This is mainly due to the above. It was government sponsored and the government should be held ac-countable.

COLLEGESFrom page 11Aof students (92 percent) were self-identified members of a racial and ethnic group. Nearly four in five took out a Pell grant. At DeVry about 45 percent were minority students. Meanwhile, students who enroll in these col-leges and do not graduate (the majority) have nothing to show for their education but more debt.

That’s why the Department of Education is limiting the amount of federal loans that stu-dents can take out, pegging loan amounts to ability to pay, based on students’ current salaries and income. “Attendance at career colleges should be a gateway to the middle class,” said Edu-

cation Secretary Arne Duncan. Too often mobility is downward, not upward, when large stu-dent loans go unpaid. The new regulations are imperfect, but a step in the right direction. They might be more efficient, but the for-profit colleges have lobbied hard, and gone to court, to pre-vent cautionary regulations.

Students of color who con-sider these colleges need to make sure they know what they are getting. Otherwise, they are up for a big surprise when stu-dent loans bills come due. For-profit colleges are exactly that, for profit. Students are not nec-essarily being educated, instead being treated as a profit center.

NYPDFrom page 11Athat young Whites use marijua-na at higher rates than blacks or Hispanics, the latter two groups made up 86 percent of the ar-rests from January to August of this year. One reason: the NYPD concentrates their arrest activi-ties in predominantly Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, not predominantly White ones.

An equally important find-ing is that 74 percent of those arrested this year have never been convicted of any misde-meanor. That data indicates that “The people the NYPD arrests for marijuana possession are not criminals … [but] ordinary high school and college students and young workers.”

A significant result of po-lice arrests for these low-level violations, according to the Po-lice Reform Organizing Project is that “Everyday, the NYPD’s ‘broken windows’ arrest prac-tices inflict hardship and harm on the most vulnerable New Yorkers, especially low income people of color, the homeless and the mentally ill.” They also produce a tremendous waste of resources for the criminal jus-tice system itself.

The organization’s study of arraignments in a total of 191 court cases in three different sections of the city found that 91 percent of the defendants were people of color and that in 85 percent of the cases the judge exonerated the defendant or lev-ied only a minor penalty. None-theless, all these cases, no mat-ter how flimsy most are shown to be in court, get logged on to the NYPD tally sheets as “work done.”

This devious bureaucratic maneuvering, however, can’t obscure the fact that the NYPD’s ‘broken windows’ approach is itself broken and needs a sub-stantial overhaul.

VENTURA, CA - Dis-trict Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced that on October 16, 2014, Superi-or Court Judge Kent Kel-legrew sentenced Laura Leesha Means of Pismo Beach, California, to 15 years 8 months in prison. Means was previously convicted by jury of 17 felony counts, including grand theft, money laun-dering, and filing a false tax return with intent to evade paying taxes. Means then pled no contest to the 13 remaining felony counts and enhancements

On November 7, officers responded to St. John's Regional Medical Center re: a shooting victim driv-ing to the hospital. Within moments the 36-year old Oxnard resident arrived.

The victim told officers he was with his girlfriend parked at a convenience market located in the 2000 Block of East Pleasant Valley Road. A green or dark pickup, possibly with an extra cab, parked nearby. The victim got out of his vehicle and one subject exit-ed the pickup. An argument ensued. A second subject got out and fired a handgun striking the victim. The victim got back into his car and his girlfriend drove him to St. John's.

The suspects are described as two males, 25 to 30 years. The victim was later transported to the Ventura County Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition.

Persons with additional information may call the Violent Crimes Hotline at (805) 982-7070, or contact the Ventura County Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477. Persons can also visit the website http://www.venturacountycrimestopper.org/contact/aspx.

Spotlight on Oxnard

As part of a series of Cal Humanities “War Comes Home” grant pro-gramming, the Oxnard Public Library will screen the film Souldier. This presentation is free and will take place on Thurs-day, November 20, 2014, at the Main Downtown Library, Meeting Room B, starting at 1 PM.

This documentary pres-ents some of the issues veterans may face upon re-turning from Iraq and Af-ghanistan as they transition into civilian life. For example, they may struggle to get government services, have post-traumatic stress disorder, suffer with physical pain or deal with addiction to prescription medication. Sometimes the final result is homelessness or even suicide.

Alvie Thompson, the Commander of Team Am-vets of Ventura County, will be available after the screeening to provide guidance to where veterans can get assistance for various issues.

For more information, call Library Reference Desk at (805) 385-7532.

to which the jury could not reach verdicts, including the aggravated white collar crime enhancement.

Means, a retired deputy sheriff, obtained a real es-tate sales license and worked as an agent for Troop Real Estate in Camarillo. In 2006, Means purchased a six-acre vacant parcel of land in Camarillo. Means made numerous false statements on the loan applica-tion to acquire the property. She then began market-ing multiple one-acre lots for sale even though the property was not legally subdivided until July 2008.

Means convinced two buyers to release their pur-chase funds from escrow early so she could use their money solely to make improvements at the property. In September 2007, after receiving $285,000 from one victim, Means immediately used the funds to pay personal expenditures such as her mortgage on her residence, a kitchen remodel, and her credit card bills. Means failed to report this money as income to the State Franchise Tax Board.

In September 2008, Means obtained an additional $285,000 in cash from a second victim for the pur-pose of developing the property. Means embezzled approximately one-half of this second victim’s pro-ceeds and used the money to pay her personal bills. Means also failed to report this cash as income to the State Franchise Tax Board in 2008.

This case was the result of a joint investigation by the District Attorney’s Real Estate Fraud Unit, the Cali-fornia Bureau of Real Estate and Franchise Tax Board.

In addition to the prison sentence, Means was ordered to pay restitution and fines in the following amounts:

Why Are There Tons of Illegal Drugs and Weapons in Ventura County ?

The People’s Throb

By Gary L. Harbour

Andrea Sandoval, 18Oxnard, CA

“I think there is a lot of il-legal drugs and weapons in Ventura County for the simple reason that people like money. Sometimes people find that the only to get a piece of the “Ameri-can Dream” is by getting involved in illegal activity.”

Erick Bravo, 20Oxnard, CA

“I think that there are tons of illegal drugs and guns because jobs are becoming harder to get, and jobs are getting out-sourced. So, people are trying to make income for their families.”

Kimberly Garcia, 20Oxnard, CA

“I think there are many illegal drugs and weap-ons in VC because people look to it as an easy way to get what they want, and that is money. Our world revolves around it, and because of it many problems like this arise.”

Dennis Hammack, 58Ventura, CA

“Criminals don’t obey laws. They make money off of drugs and illegal firearms.”

Rebecca Plonta, 24Oxnard, CA

“I believe that there is a lot of illegal activity in Ventura County because many kids around here fall through the cracks of the education sys-tem, and are left with no em-ployability skills. This leads them to have to sell drugs, or illegal weapons to survive.”

Tyryn Champagne, 20Oxnard, CA

“I believe there are tons of illegal drugs and weap-ons in Ventura Coun-ty because of the high amount of users, and the need for money. People will do whatever it takes to make a quick buck.”

Sixteen Venturian's vehicles get tires slashed

VENTURA, CA --- Po-lice are looking for suspects who on Friday, November 7, slashed all four tires on sixteen Venturians vehi-cles. Police are not sure if they are looking for one or several suspects working together. Officers said the suspect(s) might be con-victed criminals out on pa-

role, drug users or minors.The crime happened

less than a mile around the area of Ferro Drive and Poli Street, Ventura Police said.

Police are asking for the public’s help-to report any suspicious activity. Police also remind people to lock doors and windows, set an

alarm if available, improve outdoor lighting and to communicate with neigh-bors.

The investigation into this incident is ongoing. Anyone with information related to this incident is urged to call the Ventura Police Department at (805) 339-4309.

Camarillo DUI suspect faces mur-der charges in the death of deputy

CAMARILLO, CA --- Kevin Hogrefe, a Camaril-

lo resident is facing mur-der charges after striking

Ventura County Deputy Eugene Kostiuchenko, 41.

Early Tuesday morn-ing, Hogrefe was arrested, while driving under the influence of alcohol, af-ter hitting Deputy Kosti-uchenko, with his vehicle.

Officials say Kostiuchen-ko had pulled a driver over on a routine traffic stop on the 101 Freeway near Lewis Road around 1:00 a.m. Offi-cials say Kostiuchenko was walking back to his patrol vehicle when he was side-swiped by another car.

War Comes Home for African-American Veterans

From page 1A to sponsor more of these types of panel events for local Af-rican-Americans. In fact, he’s

already planning an African-American veterans summit for some time in 2015.

For Gibson, African-Ameri-

can military service boils down to this: “African-American vet-erans as well as other veterans have their stories to tell. What’s

unique about African-American veterans is that we’re asked to do the same job but we have to do it a little better.”

As an example, panelist Bruce Stewart provided some of the real history behind the story of the Tuskegee Airmen at the start of World War II. With the military being racially segregat-ed, none of the higher command thought that African-Americans were capable of flying an air-craft. But in 1941, the Tuske-gee Airmen were formed and against great odds, flew fifteen-hundred missions, engaged in 15,000 combat sorties, and had 199 aerial combat kills. They

also sank a German destroyer by machine gun fire.

The real point of the afternoon however was to hear the individ-ual stories of African-American veterans. Stewart for instance, joined the Air Force via the ROTC program at Howard University. He went in as a second lieutenant and served in South Dakota as a missile launch officer for the min-uteman missile.

Later in his career, he took on the challenge of becoming a

Mavericks Gym Raises $13,000 For VCMC’s Mobile Mammography Unit

From (l. to r.): Mavericks trainer Darla Hoffman, Mavericks owner Scott Yorkison, VCMC chief deputy director Meloney Roy, VCMC volunteers Sandy Coultas, Eleanor Tillquist, Teresita Endrada, Mavericks group exercise director Jaime Mattock and Mavericks CrossFit5171 di-rector Bree Cochran, VCMC volunteer Norma Ward, VCMC director of volunteers Debbie Hill, and VCMC outreach coordinator Adriana Gonzalez, Mavericks owner Brian Appel.

OXNARD, Calif. –Ven-tura County’s fastest-grow-ing holiday event will bring business and community leaders together to revel in the holiday spirit while tackling hunger by build-ing CAN-trees for FOOD Share. The 3rd annual CAN-tree Collection food drive will return to The Collection at RiverPark the weekend of Dec. 5-7.

With a goal of 150 CAN-trees – each built with ap-proximately 600-800 cans – teams will work together to construct 6-foot-tall CAN-trees that will be showcased throughout the weekend. Last year, 103 CAN-trees were constructed by the community, which totaled 81,200 canned goods for the regional food bank that feeds 74,500 hungry indi-viduals per month.

Monetary donations to FOOD Share will also be accepted all weekend. For every $25 donated, the re-gional food bank will be able to provide $125 worth of food to families in need.

Ventura, Calif.— After a month of raising funds through competitive fit-ness events, Ventura-based Mavericks Gym presented a $13,000 check to the Ventura County Medical Center Auxiliary to support its Mobile Mammography Unit and early detection programs during the gym’s grand re-opening celebra-tion. Mavericks Gym own-ers Brian Appel and Scott Yorkison, who lost his mother to cancer, were in-spired by personal loss, Ventura County’s high rate

of breast cancer diagnoses and how early detection can increase survival rates.

The donations were raised during Mavericks Gym’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month initiative in which participants of all fitness lev-els and interests competed in a variety of events, including a Zumbathon, a “Spin for Life” marathon on station-ary bikes, and “Boxes For Boobs,” a CrossFit com-petition in Mavericks’ new CrossFit facility.

Mavericks trainers and staff earned additional dona-

tions with the “Burpees for Boobs” event, during which trainers and staff did one burpee for every dollar do-nated to sponsor them. Head trainer Bree Cochran alone raised more than $500.

The funds will help sup-port the VCMC’s mobile mammography unit and early detection programs, which are a valuable asset to the county in reaching an underserved population of residents who face barriers preventing them from get-ting a regular mammogram and related treatment.

THOUSAND OAKS, CA -- Straight Up Ventura County, in collaboration with local agencies and youth de-velopment organizations, is hosting a Reality Party for Parents -- a reenactment of a typical teen party. This event is intended to increase parent awareness and understand-ing of the social issues and dangers young people face today regarding underage and binge drinking, drug use and other behaviors.

A private home in Thou-sand Oaks will be set up to portray a local teen party that includes alcohol, drug use and other dangerous behaviors. Parents and other adults will have the opportunity to tour through rooms of the house and see various activities that have become a "normal" part of teen parties in Ven-tura County. Teen actors from the area will play the parts of young people en-gaging in the dangerous

activities and will express the attitudes and concerns that teens have reported in Straight Up focus groups.

This event is in response by Straight Up to the need

to inform parents and to bring them together to dis-cuss change. Straight Up Ventura County, now in its 9th year, is funded through

The Sound Effect band prides themselves in their true-ness to live music. All instruments are played live and they never use pre-recorded background tracks at any live performances. This gives them the ability to change the feel of songs as they feel the need to which in turn keeps them fresh and energetic on stage. The fact that the core 4 members of the group have been together for over 11 years makes this possible. Having performed together for so many years also gives them the tightness that distin-guishes them from any other group. Besides their unmis-takeable talent, they enjoy themselves on stage so much that the feeling is contagious. Their fans become more like family and the vibe they give off becomes their own.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice

NOTICE TO POTEN-TIAL 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 bid-ding on a lien, not on the property itself. Plac-ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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, pur-suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

that information about trustee sale postpone-ments be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should under-stand 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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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, pur-suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments 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 appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for in-formation regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://

www.qualityloan.com , using the file number as-signed to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-628304-JP . Information about postponements that are very short in du-ration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the tele-phone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify post-ponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incor-rectness of the property address or other com-mon designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, di-rections to the location of the property may be ob-tained by sending a writ-ten request to the ben-eficiary within 10 days of the date of first publica-tion of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the success-ful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of mon-ies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be en-titled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to ex-ercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimat-ed costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $290,220.24 (Estimated).

Notice to Potential Bid-ders If you are consid-ering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bid-ding 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 be-ing 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 out-standing liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county re-corder’s office or a title insurance company, ei-ther of which may charge you a fee for this informa-tion. 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.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimat-ed costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $291,246.98 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued in-terest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a ca-shier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings as-sociation or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event ten-der other than cash is ac-cepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right.

Notice to Potential Bid-ders If you are consid-ering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bid-ding 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 be-ing 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 out-standing liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county re-corder’s office or a title insurance company, ei-ther of which may charge you a fee for this informa-tion. 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.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclo-sure completed pursuant to the Act.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BID-DERS: If you are con-sidering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding

liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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, pur-suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments 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 appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855)986-9342, or visit this Internet Web site www.superiordefault.com using the file num-ber assigned to this case 1306413CA . Information about postponements that are very short in du-ration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the tele-phone information or on the Internet Web site.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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, pur-suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments 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 appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this infor-mation can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Post-ing at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com (Registration re-quired to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting.com (Click on the link for “Ad-vanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. 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 In-ternet Web site. The best way to verify postpone-ment information is to at-tend the scheduled sale. A-4493743 10/31/2014, 11/07/2014, 11/14/2014 TCS14-0387TS(4)

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable es-timated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is $336,446.59. The ben-eficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore ex-ecuted and delivered to the undersigned a writ-ten Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NO-TICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con-sidering 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 owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty. NOTICE TO PROP-ERTY 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, pur-

suant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postpone-ments 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 appli-cable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-730-2727 for in-formation regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com for informa-tion regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 20130015001157. Information about post-ponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone infor-mation or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

The sale will be held at the following location: At the main front entrance to the County Govern-ment Center Hall of Jus-tice, 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA 93003. Per The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development the estimated opening bid will be $347,775.78. There will be no pro-ration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before the closing, his prorate share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making a bid, all bidders except the Sec-retary must submit a de-posit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount, in the form of a cashier’s check made payable to the Foreclosure Commis-sioner Cimarron Trustee Services. Each oral bid need not be accompa-nied by a deposit. If the successful bid is an oral, a deposit of $34,777.57 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time be-ing of the essence. This amount, like the bid de-posits, must be delivered in the form of a cashier’s or certified check. If the Secretary is the high bid-der, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs asso-ciated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bid-ders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time with which to de-liver the remainder of the payment. All exten-sions will be fore 9-day increments for a fee of $600.00 paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the commis-sioner. If the high bid-der closed the sale prior to the expiration period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be ap-plied toward the amount due. If the high bid-der is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any ex-tensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commis-sioner after consultation with the HUD Field Of-fice representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Com-missioner may, at the di-rection of HUD Field Of-fice Representative, offer the property to the sec-ond highest bidder to an amount equal to the high-est price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemp-

tion, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Fore-closure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as proved herein HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid by the Mortgagor, to stop the sale prior to the scheduled sale date is $347,600.78 as of 12/10/2014, PLUS all other amounts that are due under the mortgage agreement. Plus advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most rea-sonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Com-missioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the neces-sary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclo-sure Commissioner for recording documents.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid-der at the auction, you are or may be responsi-ble for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are en-couraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact-ing 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 prop-erty.

The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney.

The District Attorney’s Office says Hogrefe, 25, is also charged with felony hit-and-run. He is be-ing held in lieu of $150,000 bail. His arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday, prosecutors are expected to ask that bail be increased to $500,000.

Kostiuchenko was an 11-year veteran with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department. He was assigned to patrol Camarillo but also worked assignments in the Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services and in Detention Ser-vices during his career. He was known for his sense of humor and his work ethic. Kostiuchenko leaves behind his wife and two stepchildren.

VETERANSFrom page 15A race relations instructor through the Department of Defense at Hamilton Air Force Base near No-vato, California. “It was a very dif-ficult job,” he recalled. “There was a lot of pushback and it required all of my expertise to convince them that they needed to understand that good race relations were important to the mission of the United States Air Force.”

Walace Dailey called the deci-sion to join the Air Force “one of the scariest times of my life.” Dai-ley, who barely missed going to Vietnam, served in the Air Force for a total of thirty-three years. Looking back, he recounts his blessings and his luck: “My bless-ing has come in that in the thirty-three years I served in the military, I never fired a gun at anybody.”

Marvin McKenzie joined the Marine Corps after graduating from high school. He described his young attitude towards educa-tion. “I didn’t want to go to col-lege,” he observed. “I didn’t want to spend any more time going to school. I was done learning.”

What McKenzie did want was to have a job that would cre-ate a positive impact on people. “I wanted to make a difference in the world,” he said.

He believes that his time in the

military allowed him to do that. It also changed his attitude about ed-ucation. He now has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, a Master’s Degree in Business, and he is currently studying for a Mas-ter’s degree in theology.

Tobbie Gibson served for twenty years in the Navy. She was aboard the U.S.S. Prairie during Operation Desert Storm and has been awarded the Ventura County military veteran of the year as well as the Pacific Fleet’s sailor of the year award.

Gibson knew the expectations that were placed on her as an Af-rican-American. “I always knew that I had to do a little bit better than anyone else before I went into the Navy,” she said. “I had to do a little bit more because I grew up in the South.”

Even so, she enjoyed her mili-tary experience. “I’m very proud that I did it,” she said. “I would do it again. I just enjoyed serving my country to the fullest extent.”

Don Montgomery signed up for the military in November 1967. “It was a very interesting time to be in the Army with all that was going on in our soci-ety,” he recalled, “the civil rights movement, flower power, the an-tiwar movement, and also being a young black man in the military.”

He joked that when he was tapped for training in Georgia, “I was more afraid of going to Georgia for infantry training than Vietnam.”

As luck would have it, he was supposed to be part an in-fantry unit in Vietnam, but when he arrived, he was designated to help run a MARS (Military Af-filiate Radio System). His time in Vietnam had a profound impact on his views about war. “One of the things that I really observed in Vietnam was how the war af-fected the civilian population,” he said, “and so from watching that I came to the conclusion that war wasn’t a good thing.”

Surviving war and coming home is something that all vet-erans are grateful to experience. Still, while the veteran comes home, war changes a person for-ever. “I was lucky in that I was one of the guys who came back normal,” said Montgomery. Then he added that when he returned to

the States, “I didn’t realize how weird I was.”

Dailey summed up his military experience when he talked about leaving the Air Force and moving on with his life: “Tomorrow I will go to Bethel AME and sing with the Cathedral Choir and thank God that I was able to complete a mili-tary career without being fired on or having fired at anybody.”

King Lear at the Campbell Hall

Thursday, November 20 and Friday, November 21at the University of California, in Santa Barbara

The world-renowned Globe Theatre returns with a vivid and arrest-ing new production of what many call Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy. Old King Lear proposes to give up his crown and divide his king-dom between his three daughters, but his rash generosity is cruelly repaid. Lear discovers too late the falseness of the values by which he has lived and, in turn, the suffering shared by all humanity. With its tempestuous poetry, flashes of humor and heart-rending themes, King Lear is one of the deepest artistic explorations of the human condition. Joseph Marcell (from the TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) plays Lear. Show time is at 8 p.m. on both days. Tickets are $30-$55 for the general public, $19 for UCSB students (current ID is required/limited availability), and $19 for all students.

Winston’s Royal Roost at the Granada Theatre

Original hard-driving, modern afro-beat and syncopated, horn-driven funk. That is the recipe that Polyrhythmics have crafted and delivered to packed clubs, and festival crowds up and down the west coast in the past 3 years. The 8 members of this dynamic world-beat orchestra, weave a clever web of deep, hypnotic grooves, creative, yet melodic interplay, clever horn-hooks, and searing solos that ignite every dance-floor that has laid before them. Founded in late 2010, Polyrhythmics was formed by Ben Bloom and Grant Schroff, who quickly gathered some of the most talented and highly sought-after performers in the North West to record an EP. Using primitive gear, and a “live, all in one -room”, low-budget recording technique, the band captured magic, the very 1st time the record button was pushed. The result-ing 6 song EP became a cult classic and quickly sold out at shows. In Dec of 2011, Polyrhythmics signed with the prestigious booking agency, In The Pocket Artists Inc. and began touring the West Coast in early 2012 with a fever and a vigor not usually seen with a band this size. Members of the Polyrhythmics have performed with: Al-len Stone, Blackalicious, String Cheese Incident, Karl Densen’s Tiny Universe, The Motet, Sam Bush, Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormans, Railroad Earth, Monophonics, Orgone, Choklate, Pickwick, Fish-bone and more. Tickets are $8-$10. For more information, call (805) 962-7776 or visit www.sohosb.com.
