‘Diff’rent Strokes’ Star Coleman Remembered BY JENNIFER DOBNER AP WRITER

PROVO, Utah (AP) — Gary Coleman once said he wanted people to think of him as something more than the chubby-cheeked child star from television show “Diff’rent Strokes,” that he wanted to escape the legacy of character Arnold Jackson, whose “Whatchu talkin’ ’bout?” became a catch phrase of the 1970s and ’80s. He spent his later years still keeping a hand in show business, but also moving away from it, marrying and settling in Utah, far away from Hollywood’s sometimes all-too-bright lights. Still, he

was dogged by ongoing health problems and struggled with legal woes. After suffering a brain hemorrhage, Coleman was taken off life support May 28 and died, his family and friends at his side, said Utah Valley Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Janet Frank. He was 42. “He has left a lasting legacy,” tweeted singer Janet Jackson, who appeared on several episodes of “Diff’rent Strokes.” “I know he is finally at peace.” Coleman chafed at his permanent association with “Diff’rent See COLEMAN, page 9

HERE NO LONGER — Gary Coleman poses with (left to right) Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Boyz II Men member Shawn Stockman and comedian Chris Rock. Coleman suffered from a brain hemorrhage, dying later on May 28.

A divided audience of supporters and opponents voiced their opinions June 1 about an amended proposal of an at-grade crossing at the Expo Line near Dorsey High School. More than 80 people signed up to speak at the school’s cafeteria where the California Public Utilities Commission held a public hearing, addressing a hotly contested issue that has drawn concern from many community members who say having an at-grade crossing near the school — as opposed to an above- or underground crossing — is unsafe. “I got involved in this project in the late ’80s or very early ’90s, and it was suggested then that we go underground on this project. Isn’t anybody listening to the community?” said Opal Young, chair of the Baldwin Hills Homeowners Coalition, which represents nine home-

Candidates Vie for 33rd District Seat BY CHICO C. NORWOOD STAFF WRITER

On June 8, voters begin the process of choosing who will win Congresswoman Diane Watson’s 33rd District seat when she vacates it. And whoever replaces Watson will have the responsibility of working in one of the most diverse districts in the state. The district has the largest number of South Koreans outside of South Korea, a large Hispanic population, a brisk Armenian community in the Hollywood area, a Pacific Islander community in the southern part of the county and “a vigorous’’ African American community, said Watson, who has represented the district since 2001 and announced her retirement this year on Feb. 17. Candidates for the upcoming race include: Democrats Karen Bass, Morris F. “Big Money”

Karen Bass

Griffin, Nick Juan Mostert and Felton Newell and Republicans James L. Andion, David C. Crowley II and Phil Jennerjahn. Bass, who visited the L.A. Watts Times May 28, is viewed by many as the frontrunner who will take Watson’s seat. But the speaker emeritus of the California State Assembly said she is not taking this election for grant-

ed. She has been walking neighborhoods, attending house meetings, seeking endorsements and raising money. “I feel that it’s important for me to work at this level right now in terms of going to Congress. I think that Massachusetts tells us never to take anything for granted,” said Bass, referring to Republican Scott Brown’s January victory over Martha Coakley for the late Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat. “Also, I think it is a question of respect. Respect for voters. Even if I were the only person on the ballot, I would still be running in the exact same fashion I am now because you should never take anyone’s vote for granted.” Bass has been involved in foreign and domestic issues for about 30 years. She founded the Community Coalition, a communitybased social justice organization, about 20 years ago to address the See CANDIDATES, page 5

NEWS IN BRIEF Temptations Singer AliOllie Woodson Dies at 58 DETROIT (AP) — Ali-Ollie Woodson, who led the legendary Motown quintet The Temptations in the 1980s and ’90s and helped restore them to their hit-making glory with songs including “Treat Her Like A Lady,” has died, a friend said. He was 58. Woodson died May 30 in Southern California after battling cancer, Motown Alumni Association President Billy Wilson said. Woodson was not an original member of the group, which had several lineup changes since it started in the 1960s. But he played an integral part in keeping The Temptations from becoming just a nostalgia act. By the early 1980s, The Temptations were no longer posting hit after hit like they did in the 1960s and ’70s with classics such as “Papa Was a Rolling Stone,” “My Girl,” and “I Wish It Would Rain.” The group had lost original members, and Woodson was charged with replacing Dennis Edwards, whose passionate voice defined the group during the 1970s.

Ali-Ollie Woodson

Woodson’s voice, though similar to Edwards’ with its fiery tone, was distinct in itself, and helped the group notch the R&B hits “Treat Her Like A Lady,” “Sail Away,” and “Lady Soul,” from 1984 to 1986. Despite his fame, Woodson was “always a gentleman and always polite and kind to everybody. If we ever asked him to do anything, he never said, ‘Well, it’s going to cost you.’ He’d always say, ‘Yeah, let’s go,’ ” said Wilson, who founded the Detroitbased Motown association in the mid-1990s.

OPINION EARL OFARI HUTCHINSON

Sniffing Political Blood in the Oil Spill The instant the BP ooze hit the Gulf’s surface, the sniff of political blood was steady and strong. Virtually every reputable scientist, engineer and technician made the point that — given the complexity of the spill, the technical challenges, and constraints on the regulatory power of government agencies — the Obama administration has done everything it could to staunch the spill. But the cry still is: Blame President Obama for it. The GOP got its first return on the hit attack against Obama with a USA Today/Gallup poll. A majority of Americans say that Obama did not do and say enough about the spill. An even bigger number finger-point the government for inaction. This isn’t much of a consolation. Thanks to the drumbeat attack from the GOP, the Ron and Rand Pauls, Tea Party activists, shrill right-side bloggers, talk jocks and columnists, in much of the public’s mind the government and Obama

are one-and-the-same villains. The drumbeat attack on Obama for the spill has been so effective that some top Democrats who should know better bought into it. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell loudly proclaimed that, if Bill Clinton were president, he would have been in a wetsuit in Gulf water. Rendell didn’t explain how Clinton in a wetsuit could cap a runaway well 5,000 feet down. But that’s the kind of mindless idiocy that some Obama bashers have dredged up. The worst part is that a big chunk of the press has beaten the blame-Obama-for-the-spill drum. The issue is not what Obama or the government could or couldn’t do, but how to wound Obama. The GOP angles for three big political payoffs in political blood lust. Stick just enough of the oil tar on Obama to grab a few more seats in the House and Senate in November. With many political contests rated horse races, a natural

disaster can be massaged, exploited and twisted to squeeze the maximum political benefit out of it — at least that’s the hope. Obama’s energy plan, cap and trade, and climate control are also the targets. Cripple them, or kill them, and then the GOP can wave the victory flag and claim that it rescued alleged flawed and unfriendly business and energy industry plans from being hoisted on Americans. A cynical dividend from this is that Obama embraced ramped-up offshore drilling before the BP spill. Another cynical dividend is that the GOP gets to knock Obama for supposed lax regulation and oversight of the oil industry, the very things that it always regards as a plague on big business. The GOP will paint Obama as weak, ineffectual and clueless in the face of a major crisis. During campaign 2008, Republican presidential foe John McCain and mate Sarah Palin pounded him as an untested greenhorn on terrorism and foreign policy.

When the first major crisis hit, supposedly he’d come unglued. The crisis McCain and company had in mind was a major terrorist strike on U.S. soil. That hasn’t happened, but BP did; and it’s as good a substitute as any for the GOP to ream Obama as inexperienced and frozen in place when it comes to taking decisive action to confront a crisis. The GOP wasted no time trying to plant the vision in the public mind of a comatose Obama reacting the way Bush did to Katrina. The vision hasn’t stuck mostly because the comparison is bogus, and the public hasn’t bought it. The BP spill, though, does pose a grave political danger to Obama. The longer it takes to fully cap the well, the door stays wide open for the GOP to rivet public attention on the damage, spin it as the greatest environmental disaster in American history, and stoke public anger at Obama and the government’s supposed ineptitude. The Bush administration was hopelessly crippled after its gigantic Katrina bauble. The GOP banks the same thing will happen again and that voters will misconnect the political dots and punish incumbents in November for the perceived weakness or incompetence of the administration’s power in dealing with a horrific disaster. In this case, the administration

is Obama’s and the incumbents targeted are Democrats. More than a few Democrats have taken the cue and remained stone silent on the crisis. Obama has acted diligently, responsibly and professionally in dealing with an unexpected crisis that would have caught any administration off guard. A significant number of Americans understand this and even those critical of Obama for his handling of the spill still tag BP as the real bad guy. Still, no matter how well managed, disasters carry political risks; the BP spill is no different. The GOP will do everything it can to tag it as Obama’s disaster.

The Great Race Debate: Time to Put Up or Shut Up! BY PAUL SCOTT

Back in the day, we used to settle arguments over who was the best rapper by engaging in something called “battles.” Instead of yellin’ “you suck” from the safety of the back of a dimly lit auditorium, rival rappers would grab a couple of mics, jump on stage, and let the best lyricist win. However, with the coming of commercialization as well as the Internet, battles for rap supremacy have, largely, been reduced to nasty comments posted at the end of YouTube videos. As it is with hiphop, so it is with the fine art of public debate. While debate has been a timehonored tradition, nowadays the art seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur. No longer do we have ideological debates such as Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas or competing ideologies such as those of Booker T. Washington vs. W.E.B. DuBois. Instead, public discourse has been reduced to cowardly catcalls and Tea Bagger talking points. This is especially true in the United States when it comes to addressing the taboo topics of race and class. Although Americans seem to love the “idea” of having a national conversation about race, in practice, as Attorney General Eric Holder put it, we are a nation of cowards. Historically, the issue of racism is only put on the front burner after a “Martin Luther King Jr.” assassination or a “Rodney King” beating is caught on videotape. Otherwise, it is business as usual. To be perfectly frank, “racial discussions” have only been used in this country as a type of sedative to calm black folks when they get

riled up. At best, they are, simply, used as ventilation devices to let African Americans blow off steam in a controlled environment. It is the same routine, every time. CNN does a “black outrage” story, which is followed by a town hall meeting by some human relations commission. The climax comes when a hand-picked black leader issues a widely televised call for calm, reassuring white America that there will be no violence. End of story. However, during this whitemale-dominated, racially charged climate, I have heard no calls for calm, nor media outlets seeking an anointed “white leader” to give a King quote urging nonviolence. Matter of fact, the right-wing incendiary rhetoric has been encouraged as being “patriotic.” So the discussion on race in 2010 has been a one-sided argument hogged by conservative radio commentators who have seemed to acquire Ph.D.s in African American history overnight, thus feeling uniquely qualified to explain the black experience to their listeners. The anonymity of social media has also added to the dilemma, as it has allowed mildmannered Jim Bob, the friendly auto mechanic — by day — to transform into “Granddragon666,” defender of white supremacy and enemy of all things black — on the Internet — by night. As columnist Leonard Pitts wrote recently, “When people don’t have to account for what they do, they will often say and do things that would shock their better selves.” Instead of having the guts to debate in a public forum, loudmouth cowards hide behind com-

puter aliases and viciously attack well-researched, competing ideologies with cheap one-liner “trailer-park tweets.” So the sancPaul Scott tity of public discourse has been reduced to something reminiscent of Statler and Waldorf, the two old fogies from “The Muppet Show,” heckling Fozzie Bear from the safety of their balcony seats. (I remember, as a child, wishing that just once Kermit and the crew would bum rush the balcony and pimp slap the both of them.) If Robert Williams challenged racism militarily, and Thurgood Marshall challenged it legally, and King challenged it morally, it is our challenge to pick up the mantle of scholars such as the late John Henrik Clarke and challenge it intellectually. So now is the time to put up or shut up! To barbecue or mildew. I am, personally, issuing a challenge to all the race “haters” to engage in a series of public debates dealing with the issues of race and class. Don’t get it twisted. This is not an attempt to issue an Afro-centric apologia or justify my existence to the pleasure of white America, because as DuBois once asked, “What on Earth is whiteness that one should desire of it?” This is about the self-identity of future generations of African American children. Black children need to know that even in the face of vicious right-wing rhetorical attacks, not all black men and women are trembling in a corner

mumblin’, “Ain’t nobody here but us chickens, boss.” We, as black folks, must plant in the mind of each black child that you must be the guardian and custodian of your own history, first and foremost. Don’t let anyone else tell your history. You must tell it yourself. So the call goes out to any and all who are bold (or arrogant) enough to accept the challenge. From right-wing radio hosts to Internet pseudo intellectuals. We can debate on a street corner or in a

college auditorium. However, I feel obligated to warn you to borrow from the hiphop group EPMD, intellectually speaking, “If you think about battlin’ you’d better come prepared, come with your shield and your armored gear.” Paul Scott writes for NoWarningShotsFired.com. Any organization, educational institution, etc., that would like to facilitate a debate can contact (919) 451-8283 or info@nowarningshotsfired.com.

BUSINESS BIZSHORTS African American Business Leader Haysbert Dies BALTIMORE (AP) — African American business community leader and former Parks Sausage Co. chief executive officer Raymond V. Haysbert Sr. has died at age 90. Haysbert, who led Parks, the first black-owned business to go public in 1969, and the Baltimore Urban League, died May 24 at Union Memorial Hospital. Reginald Haysbert says his father survived several health scares over the years, including a collapse at a 1999 political fundraiser after suffering one of at least three heart attacks. Former Baltimore congressman and head of the national NAACP Kweisi Mfume said Haysbert was “synonymous with the struggle for entrepreneurship among African Americans at a time when it wasn’t very popular.” Haysbert was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and served as a fighter pilot in Africa and Italy with the Tuskeegee Airmen before settling in Baltimore.

Tips on How to Make the Temp-to-Perm Transition BY ERIN CONROY AP BUSINESS WRITER

Contract work and temporary employment are on the rise as the economy improves, especially for companies that need to meet increased demand but are hesitant to commit to permanent employees and higher benefit costs. Working a temp job can be a great opportunity to keep skills current and make new networking contracts while continuing to look for permanent employment. But those seeking to turn these positions into full-time jobs need to be cautious, said Tim Schoonover, chairman of career consulting firm OI Partners. “There are often no guarantees and no promises that they will be hired full-time even if suitable openings arise,” Schoonover said. “The downside of contract work is there is the possibility that it can detract from a regular job search and create false hope about a fulltime job.” OI Partners offers this advice for making the most out of your short-time position and potentially making a smooth transition into permanent work: Ask up front if you can apply for full-time openings that arise during your contract period.

Aim to out-perform full-time employees who are doing the same or similar jobs as you. Be positive and upbeat about your commitment to the company, and act as if you already are a fulltime employee during your contract period. “Don’t go around the workplace thinking of yourself as ‘only a contractor,’ and never display a negative attitude,” said Schoonover. Understand the reason for the contract job and the circumstances surrounding the position. This will help you determine whether there is a future with the company. Meet as many key people in the organization as you can. Sit in on staff meetings and let it be known what you are doing for the organization, as well as your past background, experience and accomplishments. Keep in contact with people who recruit for the company, as well as employees in other departments. Complete any projects you are working on, even if you aren’t hired. “Leaving projects unfinished will hurt you if you need to be a contract worker again or want a reference for your work,” Schoonover said.

Protesters Gather Before Diamondbacks Game (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Protesters planned a rally against Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough new crackdown on illegal immigration in front of Dodger Stadium during a game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Dodgers. The picketers gathered May 31 in front of three stadium entrances. They want the Dodgers to move their spring training facility out of Arizona and for Major League Baseball to move the 2011 All-Star game out of the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This protest is to inform the actual people going in there,â&#x20AC;? said rally spokesman John Morales, who helped organize the protest with immigrant rights groups Presente.org and Boycott Arizona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make the connection that politics is very much involved in sports.â&#x20AC;? Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new law, set to take effect July 29, requires that police conducting traffic stops or questioning people about possible legal violations ask them about their immigration status if there is â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonable suspicionâ&#x20AC;? that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the country illegally.

Supporters, however, say Arizona is trying to enforce immigration laws because the federal government has failed to do so.

As a member of the State Assembly, she has addressed criminal justice reform, health care, affordable housing and the foster care system. Bass made history when she became the first African American woman to be elected Speaker of the California State Assembly. She said she has helped pass the first comprehensive water policy in the state in 50 years, one of the nation’s most advanced global warming law, cut the Assembly’s budget by 10 percent, and passed billions of dollars in bonds for infrastructure projects, including the High Speed Rail Bond, which has resulted in California leading the nation in its preparation for highspeed rail. “Because California was the first state that had a bond, and it (had) money when the Obama Administration decided to prioritize high-speed rail, California was first in line and we got the bulk of the money,” Bass said.

But older students can still buy electrolyte-replacement beverages — an unhealthy loophole that SB1255 would close, said its author, Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles. Padilla stressed that the bill would not prohibit student athletes from consuming sports drinks during after-school practices or competitions. Critics of the bill called it the latest example of the state trying to control personal choices. SB1255 passed by a 21-11 vote and now moves to the Assembly.

Calif. Could Require Recording of Radiation Doses SACRAMENTO (AP) — California would create safeguards to protect patients from being exposed to excess radiation under a bill approved by the state Senate. Sen. Alex Padilla’s bill responds to reports last year that patients in two Los Angeles County hospitals were exposed to dangerous amounts of radiation during CT scans. High doses during computed tomography scans increase the risk of brain tumors, cataracts and skin cancer. Padilla’s SB1237 requires

If elected to Congress, she said she plans to employ a similar strategy to address issues in the district. “I don’t know what I will create this time, but what I plan to do is bring together the leaders who are in the People’s Council and do a halfday retreat and say, ‘Now it is a congressional district. What do you think we should do, how do you think it should be organized? Ask the people to tell me what they want to see from me,’ ” she said. Bass said her focus right now is not on campaign promises on what policy issues she will tackle if elected, but health care, jobs and the advancement of green technology are areas of interest. Her main focus right now, she said, is on June 8. “From June 8 on, if I am successful, I will have six months” to work on policy matters, she said. “I need to learn the federal process. So I could make up stuff, but I don’t want to do that. After June 8, that’s when I want to spend the time learning the federal system and trying to see what is realistic.” medical facilities to record radiation doses in patients’ medical files and on the scanned image itself.

THE NATION USDA Offers Discrimination Settlement WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on May 25 offered $1.3 billion to settle complaints from female and Latino farmers who say they faced discrimination from the Agriculture Department. The proposal comes as Congress was poised to approve a $1.25 billion settlement with African American farmers in a similar discrimination case. The agency also is negotiating with Native American farmers over another lawsuit. Details of the latest offer were provided to The Associated Press by a Justice Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the settlement had not been finalized. The Latino and female farmers, whose lawsuits were filed a decade ago, have sought a larger settlement, and Stephen Hill, an attorney representing Latinos, suggested the cases remain far from being resolved. Under the proposal, the government would reach out to farming communities to make women and Latinos aware of the settlement. Successful claimants could get a maximum of $50,000, but the awards could be lower depending on how many people win claims.

Celebs Pick Best ‘Old School’ Jam BY DARLENE DONLOE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

June is Black Music Month. It’s time to stomp your feet, clap your hands and move your hips. It’s time to celebrate and pay homage to a rich musical tradition that has been a major influence the world over. It’s time! Black music has influenced every genre from gospel, country, rap, hip-hop, pop and more. It’s potency is undeniable. If you ask 100 people to describe music, you’d probably get 100 different answers. One definition of music that turns up on Google is: “an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner.” That’s very formal. Most people don’t think of it in those terms. Music is something personal. Music is wondrous. It’s moving. It’s something you feel, inhale and digest. So, for the next 30 days, it’s time to thank all of the musicians, singers, producers, songwriters and technicians who have given us all a melodic earful. In light of Black Music Month, we asked celebrities the following question: What is the greatest old school jam of all time? Michael Beach (“Third Watch”) — “Always and Forever” by Heatwave. That’s an incredible song. Kim Coles — Anything, and I mean anything, Michael Beach by Earth Wind & Fire. Anything. Common (“Just Wright”) — “Zoom” by the Commodores. I like it because it’s talking about flying away to a place where your mind is fresh and clear. Idris Elba (“The Losers”) — Isley Brothers, “For The Love Of You.” If you’re talking about reggae, anything by Bob Marley. Melanie Fiona (R&B artist) — “Midnight Train to Georgia” by Gladys Knight. Gladys is the truth. Lance Gross (“Our Family Wedding”) — “Yearning For Your Love” by The Gap Band. That song says it all. L e d i s i (R&B artist) — Anything with a whole bunch of hollerin g a n d screaming. I can’t pick one. Regina Hall (“Death At Ledisi A Funeral”) — “I Destroyed Your Love” by Terry Huff and Special Delivery. Most people don’t know that song. But, it’s a fabulous song. Samuel L. Jackson (“Mother and Child”) — “Got To Give It Up” by Marvin Gaye. You can’t keep still when you hear that song. Martin Lawrence (“Death At A Funeral”) — “Reasons” by Earth

Wind & Fire. Nuff said. Regina King (“Southland”) — Miles Davis’ “Blue,” or Sade’s “Lover’s Rock,” or anything by Janis Joplin. It depends where I am and what I need to get me through. Ludacris (hip-hop artist) — “Love No Limit” by Mary J. Blige. Mo’Nique (“The Mo’Nique Show”) — “Baaabbbyyyy, it’s “You’re All I Need To Get By” by Aretha Franklin. Tracy Morgan (“30 Rock”) — “Oh Honey” by The Delegation. I love that song. Roger Mosley (“Magnum PI”) — “Man, if you’re on a fast dance then it’s “Fire” by the Ohio Players. If it’s on a slow groove, it’s “Stairway to Heaven” by the O’Jays. Ann Nesby (“Sounds of Blackness”) — Anything by Roger & Zapp and “Not Gon’ Cry” by Mary J. Blige. Melvin Van Peebles (“Sweet S w e e t b a c k ’s Badasssss Song”) — You remember the story of Paris and the 10 most beautiful women Melvin Van in Greek mytholPeebles ogy? I was born at night, but not last night. Now why would I answer a question like that and alienate another 900 other songs? Mario Van Peebles (“Way Black When”) — Something my dad wrote. The theme to “Sweetback” was written by a very interesting brotha. I’m one of those guys that ... can’t say if I have a greatest. It’s cumulative. I’m a fan of music that says something. I do like the soundtrack to “Ain’t Supposed To Die A Natural Death,” because it’s that early spoken word. CCH Pounder (“Brothers”) — O h , t h a t ’s easy, it’s “Soul Makoosa” by Manu Dibango. Lela Rochon (“Brooklyn’s Finest”) — I love Al Green, CCH Pounder so I’d have to say something by him. I’m going to say, “Lets Stay Together.” Chris Rock (“Death At A Funeral”) — Ah, man, that’s easy, “Can’t Hide Love” by Earth Wind & Fire. Columbus Short (“The Losers”) — “Poison” by Bell Biv DeVoe. Gabrielle Union (“Flash Forward”) — “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now” by McFadden & Whitehead. MalcolmJamal Warner (“The Cosby Show”) — Oh, I h a v e t o s a y, “Funkin For Jamaica.” That song will definitely get you up Malcolm-Jamal Warner off your feet. See ‘OLD SCHOOL’, page 7

a contentious issue between the Expo Rail Authority, community and Los Angeles Unified School District. LAUSD board member Marguerite LaMotte opposed the plan. The authority initially proposed the crossing near Farmdale Avenue and Exposition Boulevard as an atgrade crossing without a station and with a “holding pen” for students who would have to wait there until the train passed by. The commission rejected that proposal. The authority conducted studies on building a station at Farmdale or constructing a pedestrian overpass, which would have resulted in the

closure of Farmdale. After conducting environmental studies on both options, the Expo Authority entered into settlement discussions with the LAUSD and eventually agreed construct a nearby station, said Samantha Bricker, chief operating officer for the Exposition Construction Authority. In addition to the station, the authority has agreed to make improvements to Dorsey, Bricker added. Those improvements include constructing a nearby gated and fenced parking lot for administrators and staff, and moving Dorsey’s driveway on Farmdale farther south away from the crossing.

Are They Kidding? With California nearing bankruptcy and the Governor proposing drastic cuts in vital health and human services, is the Legislature seriously considering a new bureaucratic program estimated to cost about $1 million dollars to regulate grocery bags?

(CDU) — After a nationwide search, Dr. Gloria J. McNeal has been appointed the Founding Dean for the Mervyn M. Dymally School of Nursing at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science. McNeal will helm the nursing school, which will enroll the first 40 of 120 students during the 2010-11 academic school year in the new Life Sciences Research Nursing Education building. The program will offer an entrylevel Masters of Science in Nursing.

The focus of the program is the design and implementation of strategies that address health care disparities. Also, the new school has been granted initial approval by the California Board of Registered Nursing and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. McNeal has published more than 100 articles, abstracts and chapters in a variety of nursing journals. Her interest in technology afforded her the opportunity to design a patient program system which allowed doctors — remotely and at a glance — to summarize patient progress and is one of the earlier reporting formats from which modern-day telemedicine is based.

on Rodeo Road would be reconstructed so buses can come on campus. Proposed safety enhancements for the site include: quad, pedestrian and swing gates, pedestrian plazas for “queuing,” signs, bells and flashers, and more. Bricker said the cost for the station’s construction and safety enhancements total roughly $30 million. The estimated cost of the entire project is $862 million. Representatives for the Citizen’s Campaign to Fix the Expo Rail Line, a coalition of homeowners associations and community groups that monitors MTA and Expo Rail Line safety issues, called the proposed station construction “a new spin on the same old plans.” “This crossing was already rejected as being unsafe at street level and their ridiculous proposal originally rejected involves a holding pen. Kids would be herded in there like cattle while trains went by,” said Damien Goodmon, leading spokesperson for the Citizen’s Campaign. “We have the same exact proposal here; they’re just adding a station. It’s unacceptable. It’s still a street-level crossing with a holding pen.” If a station is built at Farmdale, it should be elevated or placed underground, he added. “A street-level crossing, we have been saying for years, it’s not accept-

able,” Goodmon said. “So we’re going to fight it legally and politically.” Goodmon also called this latest proposal an attempt to wear down the community. Bricker said it is not the same proposal, reiterating that it has new features, including a new station where the train would be forced to stop and later cross the intersection at no more than 15 mph. The authority believes the plan is a safe and beneficial alternative for the community, she added. Expo Line officials say the line will reduce travel from downtown to Culver City to 30 minutes and estimates a daily ridership of 27,000 by 2020. The 8.6-mile Expo Line will travel along Exposition Boulevard. The project could be completed by 2011. The project is divided into two phases. The first phase, which is funded and under construction, will run from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City. The second phase of construction will be the completion of the portion that will run from Culver City to Santa Monica. “This is a really critical element to opening the project,” Bricker said of the crossing. “If this crossing is not approved, we will not be able to complete the project to La Cienega (Boulevard) to get that section open as quickly as possible.”

The Los Angeles Lakers are probably hoping Robinson goes back to sleep in the NBA Finals. Robinson hopes to help the Celtics capture their 18th championship. The Lakers punched their tickets to the Finals when they closed out the Phoenix Suns 111-103 on May 29. During the game, Kobe Bryant scored 37 points and, for the second game in a row, Ron Artest did what the Lakers brought him here for: He played solid defense. Not only did Artest expertly defend the team, he scored a season high 25 points. Game 1 of the NBA Finals is tonight (June 3) at Staples Center. This will be the 12th NBA championship faceoff between the Lakers and the Celtics. It will also be the 31st time the Lakers (including when they were the Minnesota Lakers) have been to the Finals. Although a trip to the Finals is nothing new for either team, you can bet that both the Celtics and Lakers will be praying to win the championship. And they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alone. The Rev. Joseph C. Nixon of Brookins Community AME church will also be talking to God about

the Finals. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the Lakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most religious fans. And the beat continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś If LeBron James had told Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert that he would return and be happy with Mike Brown, the man who won 127 games over the past two years, Brown would still be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach. A year ago, Brown directed the Cavs to 66 victories and was named Coach of the Year. This season, the Cavs had the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best record with a 61-21 report card. Brown piloted the Cavs to the playoffs in all of the five years he was on the job. Cavalier Mo Williams summed it up best when he, quoted by The Plain Dealer, declared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To fire him (Brown), thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a big statement. After him, you have to get a Hall of Fame coach. I thought we prematurely backed on our emotions, as an organization.â&#x20AC;? Gilbert stated that it was time for the Cavs to move into a new direction. But he kept all of Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistants. Hmmmâ&#x20AC;Ś And the beat continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś Venus and Serena Williams made as many headlines about their risquĂŠ attire on the court as they did about their sizzling play at the French Open in Paris. Venus was edged out of the open in the fourth round by Nadia Petrova, 6-4, 6-3. Serena has yet to be edged out of the tournament. And the beat continuesâ&#x20AC;Ś

Strokesâ&#x20AC;? but also tried to capitalize on it through reality shows and other TV appearances. His former manager, Vic Perillo, called the diminutive star â&#x20AC;&#x153;everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kidâ&#x20AC;? and expressed regret for all the trouble that marked the end of Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate that this young man should go down in history as someone that will be seen as bitter,â&#x20AC;? said Perillo, who helped launch Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career from Chicago in about 1977 and worked with him for 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If everybody knew what a joy he was and the joy he brought me ... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of lost in all of this.â&#x20AC;? Coleman suffered the brain hemorrhage May 26 at his Santaquin home, 55 miles south of Salt Lake City. Frank said he was hospitalized because of an accident at the home, but she had no details. Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family said he was conscious and lucid until midday May 27, when his condition worsened and he slipped into unconsciousness. Coleman was then placed on life support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thousands of e-mails have poured into the hospital. This is so comforting to the family to know how beloved he still is,â&#x20AC;? Price said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;rent Strokesâ&#x20AC;? debuted on NBC in 1978 and drew most of its laughs from Coleman, then a tiny 10-year-old with sparkling eyes and perfect comic timing. He played the younger of two African American brothers adopted by a wealthy white man. Race and class relations became topics on the show as much as the typical trials of growing up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;rent Strokesâ&#x20AC;? lasted six seasons on NBC and two on ABC; it lives on thanks to DVDs and YouTube. But its equally enduring legacy became the troubles in adulthood of its former child stars. In 1989, Todd Bridges, who played Colemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older brother, Willis, was acquitted of attempted murder in the shooting of a drug dealer. The then-24-year-old Bridges testified he became depressed and turned to drugs after â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;rent Strokesâ&#x20AC;? was canceled. Dana Plato, who played the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; white, teenage sister, pleaded guilty in 1991 to a robbery charge. She died in 1999 of an overdose of painkiller and muscle relaxer. The medical examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office ruled the death a suicide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the last kid alive from the show,â&#x20AC;? Bridges said. Coleman was born Feb. 8, 1968, in Zion, Ill., near Chicago. His short stature â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he reached only 4-foot-8 even in adulthood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; added to his child-star charm but stemmed from a serious health problem, kidney failure. He got the first of at least two transplants at age 5 and required dialysis. In a 1979 Los Angeles Times profile, his mother, Sue Coleman, said he always had been a ham. He acted in some commercials before he was signed by T.A.T., the production company that created â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;rent Strokes.â&#x20AC;? After the show was canceled, Coleman continued to get credits for TV guest shots and other small roles over the years but never regained more than a shadow of his old pop-

ularity. At one point he worked as a security guard. Coleman played upon his child-star image as he tried to resurrect his entertainment career in recent years, appearing on late-night shows and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Surreal Life,â&#x20AC;? a VH1 show devoted to fading celebrities. His role as a car-washing plantation slave in the 2008 conservative political satire â&#x20AC;&#x153;An American Carolâ&#x20AC;? was cut from the final print. The actor also appeared in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Midgets vs. Mascots,â&#x20AC;? a film that pits little people against mascots in a series of silly contests for a chance to win $1 million. Coleman met with producers of the film earlier this year to ask them to remove a brief scene of frontal nudity that he says he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorize. He was among 135 candidates who ran in Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bizarre 2003 recall election to replace then-Gov. Gray Davis, whom voters ousted in favor of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Coleman came in eighth with 12,488 votes, or 0.2 percent, just behind Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. Running for office gave him a chance to show another side of himself, he told The Associated Press at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is really interesting and cool, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been enjoying the heck out of it because I get to be intelligent, which is something I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to do very often,â&#x20AC;? he said. Last fall, he had heart surgery complicated by pneumonia, said his Utah attorney, Randy Kester. In February, he suffered a seizure on the set of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Insider.â&#x20AC;? Legal disputes also dogged him. In 1989, when Coleman was 21, his mother filed a court request trying to gain control of her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $6 million fortune, saying he was incapable of handling his affairs. He said the move â&#x20AC;&#x153;obviously stems from her frustration at not being able to control my life.â&#x20AC;? In a 1993 television interview, he said he tried to kill himself twice by overdosing on pills. Coleman moved to Utah in fall 2005, and according to a tally in early 2010, officers were called to assist or intervene with Coleman more than 20 times in the following years. They included a call where Coleman said he had taken dozens of Oxycontin pills and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted to die.â&#x20AC;? Some of the disputes involved his wife, Shannon Price, whom he met on the set of the 2006 comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Church Ballâ&#x20AC;? and married in 2007. In September 2008, a dustup with a fan at a Utah bowling alley led Coleman to plead no contest to disorderly conduct. The fan filed a lawsuit claiming that the actor punched him and ran into him with his truck; the suit was settled out of court. In February â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on his 42nd birthday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge related to an April 2009 domestic violence incident at his home.
