Inglewood Driver ALERT:

DUI/Driver’s

License Checkpoint

Planned this Weekend

Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor

The Inglewood Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on Friday February 22nd, 2019, at an undisclosed location with the city limits between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.

In recent years, California has seen a disturbing increase in drug-impaired driving crashes.

The Inglewood Police Department supports the new effort from the Office of Traffic Safety that aims to educate all drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI. The deterrent effect of High Visibility Enforcement using both DUI checkpoints and DUI Saturation Patrols has proven to lower the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug impaired crashes.

CHAIRWOMAN GLORIA D. GRAY RECOGNIZED BY WEST BASIN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor

Local elected officials and community members joined the West Basin Municipal Water District Board of Directors at a special board meeting and reception on Feb. 13 to recognize Division II Director Gloria D. Gray as the newly elected Chairwoman of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

Gray, who was officially sworn in as Chairwoman on Jan. 8, is the first African American to lead the 38-member Metropolitan board, and only the second woman to serve as Chair in its 90-year history. Water industry leaders and elected officials, including Mayor James T. Butts of Inglewood, Los Angeles City Council President Herb J. Wesson, former Chair of the State Water Resources Control Board Felicia Marcus, Los Angeles Unified School District Board Member Dr. George McKenna III, Eastern Municipal Water District Board Member and Immediate Past Chair of the Metropolitan Board of Directors Randy Record, and Metropolitan General Manager Jeff Kightlinger each spoke

in support of Gray’s new leadership role in regional water policy.

“As President of West Basin’s Board of Directors, I am pleased and honored that one of our directors now serves in the top leadership position at Metropolitan at a time when Southern California is facing daunting water supply reliability

challenges,” said West Basin Board President Scott Houston. “Director Gray has shown an unwavering commitment to representing our communities, and West Basin looks

forward to supporting her throughout her tenure as Chairwoman.”

First elected in 2006, Gray represents West Basin’s Division II that includes the city of Inglewood and the unincorporated Los Angeles County areas of Lennox, South Ladera Heights, West Athens and Westmont.

“As Chairwoman of the Metropolitan Water District, I will continue to represent the communities served by West Basin, as I have diligently for the past 13 years. I will now also provide a prominent voice in the water industry for the 19 million people who live in Southern California who rely on Metropolitan water supplied by their local water agency,” said Gray. “We live in a time where we need to recognize that planning for our industry’s future is vital. Climate change and population growth will impact our resources, and we need to promote a strong vision to adapt to these uncertainties. I am honored to serve in this leadership capacity as your elected official.”

2ND DISTRICT, LACBOS

Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor

Holly Mitchell recently announced that she is launched her campaign to serve on the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for District 2.

This experience has provided her with the opportunity to hear directly from communities on the issues impacting their lives and to achieve legislative victories that align with our shared values. She is particularly proud of the wins we have made in criminal justice reform, increasing access to quality healthcare, and to

have passed two state budgets that expanded funding for vital services for infants, students and working families.

Mitchell said, “I have never backed down from doing what is right and necessary. I believe in the best Los Angeles County has to offer and I am willing to fight for it. This is why I am running for County Supervisor.”

She continued. “We live in a time where the progress we have made and continue to fight for is under attack. Our communities are expecting their leaders to represent their voice and to be a moral compass for our country. I can guarantee you

that as County Supervisor, I will lead with the moral integrity and effectiveness that we deserve.”

shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized proactive DUI operations are conducted routinely.

DUI Checkpoints like this one are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public.

Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing, delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially

DR. PAULETTE BROWN HINDS,

PRESIDENT CALIFORNIA NEWS PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION Riverside-based publisher of the Black Voice News, Dr. Paulette BrownHinds, was recently sworn in as the first African-American president of the California News Publishers Association (CNPA) at their annual conference. The 131-year-old organization, headquartered in Sacramento, represents more than 400 newspapers across the state.

Over a hundred California media professionals attended the gathering.

This year’s discussions touched on issues facing minorities in the upcoming 2020 Census. It also tackled longstanding media industry problems and pulled apart laws that could impact news operations across the state in the future.

“We have always valued the work CNPA has done on behalf of the industry,” Brown-Hinds told her colleagues in her inaugural speech as President.

“The work that the Black Voice News has done over the years is impactful work in the community that changed lives, policy. I knew it was important for me to do this as well.”

Taking the helm of the CNPA is history-making not only because BrownHinds is the first African American and ethnic minority to lead the influential statewide organization. Her

personal and family history of advocacy and community service brings a certain grassroots heft that has the potential to benefit the organization as it takes on major legislative issues facing the media across the state in 2019. She is also a professor at the University of California Riverside, and board member of the James Irvine Foundation.

As Brown-Hinds takes the helm of the CNPA, she faces a number of important policy issues that California newspapers have the responsibility to unpack for their audiences across the state. One of them is the upcoming 2020 Census and how the decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 national population count may or may not impact the participation of minorities, immigrants and undocumented people in California.

The panelists also explored how Census enumerators in the past have undercounted ethnic minorities and other “hard-to-count” populations in California and other states by millions of people. Those inaccuracies could result in the loss of billions of dollars in federal funding and even cost California a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. During the,2010 Census, about 200,000 minority children in California alone were undercounted.

“Power comes from numbers. Power comes from data. If your numbers are wrong and your data is wrong, it undermines your power,” said Arturo Vargas, the Chief Executive Officer of NALEO Educational Fund. His orga-

nization is a national non-profit that promotes the participation of Latinos in civic life.

The way the Census Bureau will categorize and sub-categorize people by race on next year’s questionnaires may also pose problems for some Asians, Blacks, Latinos and other minority groups. For example, People of Arab

descent from places in North Africa and the Middle East like Egypt, Syria and Morocco will be counted as White.

Afro-Latinos from places like the Dominican Republic will only also be able to only identify as Latino – with no option to choose Black.

Ditas Katague, the Director of the California Complete Count Office, who has also served on the U.S. Census Bureau’s National Advisory Committee on Race, Ethnicities and Other Populations, sees the problems looming with next year’s count in California and is familiar with the process and has decades of experience working with minorities and the media across the state to successfully increase participation.

After the 2020 census, she told the journalists in the room, “What I want to see is that California achieves a complete and accurate count and we outpace the entire country.”

In an effort to reach that goal, Katague’s organization will spend tens of millions of dollars partnering with California media, including ethnic media who“hard-to-count” minority populations trust.

“Locally created messages resonate.

Understand your audience. Educate your audience,” she told them.

GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM IS EXPANDING THE THE SIZE AND ROLE OF THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S OFFICE Francis Taylor, Asst. Editor

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to hire California’s first surgeon general hours after he took office last month. The next day he announced a new senior advisor for emergency management. Then on his third day, he created a “strike team” to reinvent the troubled Department of Motor Vehicles.

And on Day 4, Newsom unveiled a new state budget, requesting 41 additional staffers and a total of $24.6 million for the governor’s office — more spending than many of his predecessors.

California’s 40th governor is beginning his tenure with a flurry of ideas and enough cushion in the state budget to afford a large inner circle of advisors and aides to help carry out big promises, such as creating a single-payer healthcare system, universal preschool and addressing the state’s housing crisis.

“The truth about the governor’s office is that things move fast and you drink from a fire hose every day,” said Dana Williamson, a former top advisor to then-Gov. Jerry Brown.

“He also has a big agenda.”

Brown had a lean crew of confidants. Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger had a more expansive operation, with a $21.9-million budget and a staff of 202 employees at its peak during his final full year in office. Chief executives before him also oversaw large offices, but because some of their employees were paid from the budgets of different departments, it is unclear just how many staff members worked for them.

Facing a $27-billion budget deficit, Brown whittled the size of the governor’s office down to as few as 81 employees and a low of $12.7 million to cover salaries, benefits and administrative overhead.

He also closed the administration’s field offices around the state, eliminated the first lady’s office and forced appointees to take a 5% pay cut in keeping with campaign promises to limit government spending.

Williamson said that Brown’s first stint in the governor’s office eased his return to the job more than three decades later, allowing him to operate with a small staff.

Newsom has taken a different approach.

Building a 132-person staff will allow Newsom to reopen five field offices focused on constituent affairs and hire representatives for each region of the state, said Nathan Click, a spokesman for the governor. The outposts will hold public office hours “to bring the governor’s office closer to the communities it serves,” Click said.

Newsom’s hiring spree will also bulk up his Cabinet, a team of senior advisors and high-ranking heads of state agencies. Click said that focus “affords this administration the capacity to make state government work better for the people it serves

— from taking aggressive actions to combat the cost crisis families face to more quickly and effectively reacting in times of crisis and disaster.”

In another reversal of course from the Brown administration, Newsom is establishing the Office of the First Partner, his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s preferred title, with seven new positions and a $791,000 budget.

The governor’s office has touted its work to hire a diverse staff — by geography, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, experience and disability status.

“It’s not a shock that a new activist governor would try to bulk up the staff as 8 much as possible,” said

No matter your age, exercise can cause significant muscle and cardiovascular remodeling in just three weeks. The trick is making the exercise habit stick — and for that, you need more time, according to experts.

As a high school and college athlete, I understand the value of exercise and the benefits of being fit. Not only does one look good, one’s confidence is naturally boosted by the feeling of wellness that comes with being in good physical condition. As we get older however, I find myself in the same self-imposed trap that is characteristic of many of my peers. Generally, we do not have a routine exercise regimen, we eat whatever we want with little consciousness about what is best for us to eat and the occasional golf game does not meet the minimum requirements for a balanced exercise program.

TEAMS NEED TO

WIN NOW

By Steve Finley

After UCLA and USC men’s basketball teams went 1-1 in the bay area last week against California and Stanford both teams need to sweep Oregon and Oregon State this week if they expect to be one of the top four teams in the Pac-12. The top four teams will get a bye in the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas next month.

The Bruins are 13-13 overall and 6-7 in the Pac-12 league. They are currently tied for sixth place in the 12 team league. The Trojans are tied for fourth place with Stanford with a 7-6 league record. USC is 14-12 overall. Nine out of the 12 teams in the conference could finish anywhere from first place to ninth place by the end of the regular season.

UCLA and USC will have home games this week starting with the Trojans 6 p.m. game against Oregon on Thursday. USC will face Oregon State on Saturday at 3 p.m.

UCLA will play Oregon State on Thursday at 8 p.m. and the Bruins will face Oregon on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Oregon is 6-6 in the Pac-12 and 1510 overall. Oregon State, who is led by the Thompson brothers, Stephen and Ethan are in second place in the league with a record of 8-4 and they have an overall record of 168. The Thompson’s played their high school basketball at Bishop Montgomery in Torrance.

Their father is the former Crenshaw High great; Stephen Thompson Sr. Thompson Sr. is also one of the assistant coaches at Oregon State.

Last week the Bruins beat California and lost to Stanford. The Trojans lost to Stanford and beat California.

Although the Pac-12 does not have any great teams this year nine teams are about even. “I think there are a lot of teams that if they play well can beat anybody in the league and if you don’t bring their best game you can lose to anybody in the league,” said USC head coach Andy Enfield last a few weeks ago.

The NBA season is already full of more tension than a day time soap opera, now the next few months will be filled with drama evolving teams that will trying to make the playoffs. In the Western Conference no less than 13 teams will be battling for eight playoffs spots and in the Eastern Conference it looks like it’s going to be a close race between the top four or five teams.

For the Clippers and Lakers the bottom line is they have to win at least 70% of their games if they expect to make the playoffs.

Right now the Clippers are in and the Lakers are out. If the playoffs started today the Clippers would be the eight seeded team in the West. The Lakers are currently in 10th place in the West, four games out of the eight spot.

Both teams are in danger of not making the playoffs and that would be a big disappointment, especially for the Lakers who have LeBron James on their team. James is considered to be one of the best if not the best player in the National Basketball League (NBA).

The Lakers enter Thursday’s 7:30 p.m. game against Houston at the Staples Center with a record of 28-29. They travel to Memphis on Monday at 5 p.m. and they end the month with a game against New Orleans at home on Wednesday, February 27.

The Clippers have a record of 32-17 and they travel to Memphis on Friday for a 5 p.m. game. They finish the month of February with a game Sunday at Denver at 2 p.m., they play a home game Monday against Dallas at 7:30 p.m. and they go back on the road on Wednesday, February 27, against Utah at 7:30 p.m.

She was horrified by the images of the “Bloody Sunday” voting rights march in Alabama in March 1965. Therefore, she traveled to Selma, saying the struggle “was everybody’s fight”. While shuttling marchers in her car, she was shot and murdered by a Ku Klux Klan member. She was a wife and mother of five. RIP. Continued from page 4:Gov. Gavin Newsom is expanding the size and role of the California governor’s office

Jack Pitney, a professor of government at Claremont McKenna College.

But Pitney also warned about the potential for “bureaucratic infarction.”

“That is, you have so many people sending so many memos to one another that nothing gets done,” he said.

Building a larger office means the 51-year-old governor will probably be more visible than his predecessor — a key component of remaining connected to the Californians who elected him last year.

But Newsom’s penchant for launching so-called strike teams to tackle key issues and strategically announcing several hires at once is uncommon compared to past governors, said Susan Kennedy, who was Cabinet secretary to former Gov. Gray Davis and chief of staff to Schwarzenegger.

Last month, Newsom formed a panel to help his administration navigate the bankruptcy of Pacific Gas & Electric. He appointed his chief of staff, Ann O’Leary, to head the group with representatives from the California Independent System Operator, California Public Utilities Commission, California Department of Insurance and California Department of Finance.

He also formed a DMV strike team, led by California Government Operations Agency Secretary Marybel Batjer, to guide a reinvention of the troubled DMV and recommend new leadership. In December and again in January, Newsom rolled out

several key positions at the same time, with titles such as “senior policy advisor for cradle to career” and “senior policy advisor for early childhood.”

Forming teams early on shows the governor is putting “boots on the ground” to move quickly and tackle important issues, said Kennedy, who commended Newsom’s hiring of top aides from previous administrations.

“He’s clearly using all the positions he has to make sure he has special teams who are able to bring the people into the process,” Kennedy said.

“You exponentially increase your power when you have the ability to get the public, the constituency groups, behind you.”

Newsom has also said he might appoint “czars” to oversee policy on housing, mental health and homelessness, or some combination of the issues.

“I’ve talked a big game about czars, but I haven’t done a czar yet,” Newsom said at a recent news conference.

Though some suggest that selecting independent-minded leaders and new top advisors might allow Newsom to distance himself from any failed policies, others say the governor won’t be able to avoid blame or praise.

“The principal owns the problems and the principal owns the solutions,” said Eric Jaye, a former political advisor to Newsom. “If you succeed, you get the credit, and if you fail, you get the credit.”
