Latinos Having Difficulty Communicating with Health Professionals

By Emily Swanson and Russell Contreras

WASHINGTON (AP)—Nearly 6 in 10 Hispanic adults have had a difficult time communicating with a health care provider because of a language or cultural barrier, and when they do they often turn to outside sources for help, according to a new study conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

T

HE survey finds that half of those who have faced those barriers turned to a family member or to another health care provider for assistance. In addition, more than 1 in 4 looked to a translator, public resources in their community or online sources for help when they faced those issues.

Antonio Torres, 53, of Orlando, Florida, who is bilingual and legally blind, told The AP he regularly struggles to understand the medical terms used by doctors and nurses.

“When I tell them I don't understand them, they'll bring someone over to speak to me in Spanish and I don't understand them, either,” said Torres, who is Puerto Rican and was raised in New York. “We didn't grow up speaking that formal Spanish, so I have no idea what they are saying.”

At times, Torres said he even gets medicine with his name misspelled on the bottle. “And I don't know if I'm taking my medicine or someone else's,” he said.

The language and cultural barriers in health care for Latinos are something advocates have been pointing out for years.

In 2014, for example, the Obama

administration faced criticism following the rollout of the Spanish version of the federal health care website, CuidadoDeSalud.gov. The translations were so clunky and full of grammatical mistakes that critics say they must have been computergenerated. The website also translated “premium” into “prima,” the Spanish word more commonly used to mean a female cousin among Mexican-Americans and Mexican immigrants.

Along with communication challenges, many Hispanics are concerned about language or cultural accommodations for people in their community who seek long-term care services.

Fewer than half say it would be easy for older Latinos in their area to find a nursing home or assisted living facility with staff that speaks their language, or to find a home health aide who does. Even fewer—less than 3 in 10—say the same about finding long-term care providers who can prepare the kind of food they are used to. Some have concerns about finding nursing homes and assisted-living facilities that will respect their religious or spiritual beliefs, though fewer have the same concern about home health aides.

Torres said he's not confident years from now. Just 15 percent of are somewhat less likely than others he'll find a culturally sensitive older Hispanics are very confident in their age group to say they'd be nursing home when he's gets older. they will be able to pay for their own comfortable using some types of “I'd rather just live alone and poison future long-term care needs. telemedicine. myself by accident rather than stay The survey also finds that a Gabriel Vargas, 41, of Lancaster, in one of those homes right now,” large majority of older Hispanics South Carolina, who is from he said.

Former USC Tailback and Assistant Coach Willie Brown Dead at 76

CARSON—Willie Brown, who was a player and assistant coach on Trojan national championship football and baseball teams and spent several years in the NFL, died Thursday in Carson of complications from cancer, according to the university's athletics department. He was 76.

Services were pending for USC's original I-formation tailback, according to a statement released by USC's sports information director, Tim Tessalone.

A three-year letterman (1961-63) and two-time AllConference first teamer (196263) in football at USC, Brown was a member of the 1962 national championship team and captained the 1963 squad.

A versatile athlete who rushed for 1,294 yards in his career, Brown also lettered three years (1962-64) as a centerfielder and shortstop on the Trojan baseball team, which won the College World Series in 1963. He earned All-Conference honors that year when he led the

LOS ANGELES—The Southern California Gas Co. announced Friday that it has safely completed a five-year, $100 million project to modernize 13 miles of three highpressure natural gas pipelines in the greater Los Angeles area. The upgraded pipelines pass through Carson, Los Angeles, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Torrance and other L.A. Gateway area communities.

"Our natural gas system pipelines are the arteries that keep affordable and clean energy flowing to homes, businesses, hospitals, schools, power plants and other critical facilities throughout Southern California," said Rick Phillips, senior director of SoCalGas' Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan. "SoCalGas is committed to modernizing our natural gas system so that we can continue to provide every Southern Californian with the affordable and reliable energy they deserve."

The pipeline replacement project is part of SoCalGas' Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan, a multi-billion-dollar program that tests and updates the company's natural gas pipeline infrastructure. Since the program began in 2013, SoCalGas said it has conducted hydrostatic pressure tests on 94 miles of pipeline, installed 89 miles of new pipe, and installed or upgraded 152 valves to be automatically or remotely controlled.

ICE Policies Hurt Our Communities Beyond the Border

By Hamid Yazdan Panah Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out one of its largest raids in years, arresting more than 140 people in Ohio. But raids and family separation are only part of the total impact ICE has on our communities. The Trump administration has attempted to justify aggressive immigration enforcement by claiming they help make our cities safer, yet the opposite may be true.

Immigration advocates have raised concerns about public safety based on ICE’s track record of abuse, militarized operations and propensity to identify themselves as the police.

So far this year, seven immigrants have died while in ICE custody, with reports citing lack of medical care as a main factor. The cavalier attitude with which ICE conducts operations should be a cause of concern for us all, especially given that ICE has negligently detained or deported more than 20,000 U.S. citizens since 2003.

The terror that ICE raids sow in our communities affects us all. Increased fear in immigrant communities often results in a reluctance to call the police, cooperate with authorities or show up to court, the effects of which have already started to show. In 2017, sexual assault reports by Latinos in Los Angeles fell by 25 percent, while domestic violence reports declined by 10 percent. In Denver, following ICE arrests in the local courthouse, prosecutors reported that victims of domestic violence have refused to testify because of fear of being arrested.

The threat to our collective security extends to public health as well. Widespread fear has led to immigrants forgoing health care for themselves and even their U.S. citizen children, increasing health risks for all. There are also direct and tangible effects of the ICE violence.

A 2017 study by the University of Michigan documented the health effects following a 2008 ICE raid in Iowa. The study found that Latina women, including those who were citizens, were more likely to have

The Census Citizenship Question and Children

By Marian Wright Edelman Who counts as a person in America? The answer is more complicated than it should be. Every ten years the government is required by the Constitution to count the entire resident population of the United States. The Census matters for a very long list of reasons beginning with political representation: the count is used to determine how seats in the House of Representatives are distributed and states rely on it to map their own legislative districts.

Census data are used to determine how federal and state funding are distributed for Medicaid, nutrition assistance programs, Head Start, education, Pell Grants, economic development, transportation spending, and much more.

Businesses use the Census to make decisions about where consumers and workers are located. Researchers use it to study how diseases are concentrated or spread out over the population. It’s obvious—or should be obvious—that a huge range of stakeholders need this count of the entire population to be as accurate as it can possibly be.

That’s why there has been a swift, harsh, and widespread critical reaction to the Trump Administration’s request to add a question to the 2020 Census asking residents to identify whether or not they are citizens—a move that seems very likely to make many respondents fearful and anxious, especially in today’s national climate, about participating in the Census at all, leading to a very serious undercount. The period for public comment on this proposed change ends Tuesday, August 7th, and there is still time to add your voice to the

loud chorus of stakeholders, experts, and six former Census directors If a question on citizenship is added and everyday people asking the who served in Republican and to the Census, children stand to be Commerce Department to withdraw Democratic administrations; 19 among the biggest losers. Children this citizenship question. attorneys general; the scientific and already are disproportionately likely The Leadership Conference statistical community; and several to be missed in a Census count.

member in a Census count.

Children of color and children in immigrant families are historically already especially likely to be undercounted. One study estimated that there was an undercount of 400,000 young Latino children in the 2010 census, and that three-quarters of those undercounted children came from just five states: California, Texas, Florida, Arizona and New York. States with large numbers of undercounted children are already losing out on their appropriate share of federal funding for education, health care, and more and all of these numbers would only skyrocket with an added question on citizenship status.

The Leadership Conference points out that there would be a significant financial cost to taxpayers just to add an untested question this late in the process: “According to the Census Bureau, every one percent decrease in the self-response rate will increase the cost of the count by $55 million. A five percent drop in self response would add an additional, unplanned $275 million to the [C] ensus.” The costs that would result from an inaccurate undercount will keep accumulating for the next ten years and years to come. As they also point out, with the Census, there are no do-overs.

Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund, whose Leave No Child Behind’s mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

Time to Reform the System

By Jeffrey L. Boney

v

During a recent trip to Houston, Rev. Jesse Jackson joined forces with Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis and various local community advocates, to address a litany of social justice issues that have impacted many individuals in the Greater Houston area, as well as across the entire nation.

At a news conference that was held at the Harris County Precinct One El Rio Service Center, Rev. Jackson joined Commissioner Ellis to talk about why Harris County Commissioners Court should settle a bail reform lawsuit and a push for the county to adopt a minority- and women-owned business enterprise (MWBE) program.

Several community leaders, ministers, and community organizations, such as FIEL Houston, a group focused on the needs of families and education, the NAACP, the AntiDefamation League and others were part of the gathering.

One of the most important battles taking place across the U.S. has been a push for bail reform. The fight for bail reform has become one of the most important and major civil rights issues of our day; and that fight is being aggressively waged in Harris County, which has the majority of its county leadership fighting a costly lawsuit to contest its unjust cash-bail system that keeps poor people behind bars.

Rev. Jackson spoke out against the position Harris County has taken to aggressively fight the lawsuit and expressed his support for U.S. District Judge Lee H. Rosenthal's recent ruling that found Harris County’s cash bail system unconstitutional, emphasizing that the system essentially keeps select defendants in jail, because they are poor and do not have the means to pay.

“The cash bail system in Harris County is discriminatory along the lines of race and poverty,” Rev. Jackson stated. “Fewer and fewer people are getting more and more, while more and more have less and less. We need to get rid of the borders that separate poor people from those who are not poor, in Harris County. We must continue our fight for the poor, because

most of them cannot fight for themselves.”

Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, however, The case against Harris County is scheduled has gone on record stating that the bail reform to go to trial in December, but Rev. Jackson lawsuit should be settled out of court. However, strongly urged Harris County officials to stop the three Commissioners have dug in their their efforts to fight against the movement heels, advocating for Harris County to continue to end the current cash bail system and is spending money to defend the lawsuit. encouraging them “That money to settle the lawsuit could be spent We could have been using that on reforming to avoid any money to educate people, so that further damage to the system,” said poor people. once they get out of prison, they C o m m i s s i o n e r Ellis. “We could Commissioner are productive, and don’t get have been using Ellis, who is the only member on stuck in that cycle.

This broken system doesn’t solve anything.” bail reform lawsuit. Commissioner Ellis has Since 2016, Harris County has spent roughly faced continuous and tremendous amount of $7 million to defend the lawsuit and appeal the pushback from his other three colleagues on Commissioners Court: Jack Morman (Precinct case, versus using that money for other much2), Steve Radack (Precinct 3) and R. Jack Cagle needed areas across the county.

Rev. Jackson also expressed his support (Precinct 4).

for Commissioner Ellis’ efforts to get Harris County to adopt an MWBE program and policy to ensure MWBEs have a fair opportunity to compete for and win contracts with Harris County. Harris County and the City of Houston recently approved an inter-local agreement that allows Harris County to use certain elements of the city’s disparity study, which is required for its race- and gender-conscious contracting program.

Lastly, Rev. Jackson addressed the Trump administration’s former policy that separated immigrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“This was a crime against humanity,” said Rev. Jackson. “Fighting for children at the border is our obligation, just like fighting to end borders that separate Blacks and browns from Whites, as well as the poor in Harris County, is our obligation.”

Rev. Jackson emphasized that getting people out to vote during the upcoming midterm elections is extremely important and a critical way to ensure these major social justice issues are addressed.

At last month’s National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) Annual Convention, Rev. Jackson expressed his support of the NNPA’s efforts to encourage 5 million Blacks to register to vote before the November midterm elections.

They are hoping the success of this initiative will significantly impact the way all of these social justice issues are addressed moving forward.

“We must make November 6th a day we will always remember,” said Rev. Jackson. “We must vote with passion on November 6th and change the political direction of our country.”

Study: Lowering Blood Pressure Helps Prevent Mental Decline

By Marilynn Marchione CHICAGO (AP)— Lowering blood pressure more than usually recommended not only helps prevent heart problems, it also cuts the risk of mental decline that often leads to Alzheimer's disease, a major study finds.

It's the first time a single step has been clearly shown to help prevent a dreaded condition that has had people trying crossword puzzles, diet supplements and a host of other things in hope of keeping their mind sharp.

In the study, people treated to a top blood pressure reading of 120 instead of 140 were 19 percent less likely to develop mild cognitive impairment. They also had fewer signs of damage on brain scans, and there was a possible trend toward fewer cases of dementia.

“This is a big breakthrough,” said Dr. Jeff Williamson of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina. “It's more important than ever to work with your physician to

ensure that you have good blood pressure control.”

He led the study and gave results Wednesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Chicago. They're considered preliminary until published, expected later this year.

Independent experts cheered the news.

“We have long known that high blood pressure is bad for your heart. Now we're also learning it's bad for your brain,” said James Hendrix, director of global science initiatives at the Alzheimer's Association.

in the United States have high blood pressure under guidelines adopted last year that define it as a top number of 130 or more, rather than 140. Normal is under 120.

The federally funded early, when it became clear Roughly half of adults study was designed to test this in that lower pressure helped

prevent heart problems and deaths. But tests of thinking skills continued for two more years, and these new results were revealed on last week.

Researchers saw a 19 percent lower risk of mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, in the intensivetreatment group—285 cases versus 348 in the higher pressure group. About half of people with MCI develop dementia over the next five years.

“It's really more important to prevent MCI than dementia in some ways.

It's like preventing high cholesterol rather than a heart attack,” Williamson said.

There also were fewer

dementia cases in the intensive-treatment group but there were too few to say lower blood pressure was the reason. Dementia takes longer to develop than mild impairment does, so doctors think the difference may widen over time.

MRI scans on 454 participants showed that those in the lower pressure group had less white matter lesions—areas of scarring or damage from injury, such as inadequate blood supply.

“It matches” the other results on thinking skills and bolsters the evidence that lowering blood pressure helps, said Laurie Ryan, a dementia scientist at the National Institute on Aging.

Hopes Rise Again for a Drug to Slow Alzheimer's Disease CHICAGO (AP)—Hopes are rising again for a drug to alter the course of Alzheimer's disease after repeated failures.

Two drug companies said that an experimental therapy they are developing slowed mental decline by 30 percent in patients who got the highest dose. It also removed much of the sticky plaque gumming up their brains.

Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, and current drugs just ease symptoms.

The new drug is called BAN2401, from Eisai and Biogen. It failed to help in a study of 856 people with early Alzheimer's, but those who got the highest of five doses for 18 months declined less than those given dummy treatments.

Results were revealed at the Alzheimer's conference in Chicago.

NEWS LUSD Student Ambassadors Perform at Rwandan Arts Festival LYNWOOD–Lynwood Unified students Zion Bennett and Jose Laguna returned home from a trip to Rwanda as experienced international performers, after acting as American cultural ambassadors during an international arts festival where they helped stage two plays in front of a capacity crowd of 2,000 people.

Bennett and Laguna were chosen to represent Lynwood and showcase their acting and writing talents as part of the District’s Building Relationships and Inspiring Dialogue through Global Exchange (BRIDGE) Theatre Project. The students collaborated with the Mashirika Performance Arts Company during the festival and spent nearly two weeks in Rwanda from July 3-16.

“It was so amazing, a oncein-a-lifetime experience,” Laguna said. “I was nervous at first, but the students from Mashirika made us feel like we were home. Although the culture is so different, it was easy to make friends. I hope to see them again someday.”

The Ubumuntu Arts Festival, held July 13-15 at the Kigali Genocide Memorial Amphitheater, is a commemoration of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The event brings actors, dancers and musicians from around the world to the

Rwandan capital for three days of performances, panels and workshops.

“Zion and Jose received an opportunity to see what is possible in the world and they made the most of it,” BRIDGE Theatre cofounder Joe Quintero said. “They inspired their African counterparts and introduced them to American culture while learning about Rwandan history through the stirring performances they saw at Ubumuntu.”

Bennett and Laguna performed alongside Mashirika students in “Arthur’s Diary,” a play written by Rwandan students, and watched as the students staged a production of “Great Minds Think Alike,” an original play co-written by Bennett and Cesar Chavez Middle School BRIDGE students about an American family struggling with their emotions as they navigate the challenges of life.

Set several years in the future, “Arthur’s Diary” centers on Arthur, played by Bennett, and his brother Manzi, played

by Laguna, two children orphaned during the 1994 genocide. Inspired by his brother, Arthur grows up to be a successful author and his writings ultimately play a key role in ending a 70-year-old war between the U.S. and Russia.

Compton Searches for Missing Man

Supervisors Agree To Expand School Shooting Prevention Team The LA County Board of Supervisors agreed yesterday to expand and strengthen the program that is designed to help prevent school shootings county wide.

The School Threat Assessment Response Team (START) is a program established under the Department of Mental Health and is made up of mental health professionals who respond to principals, counselors, school security officers, or parents worried about students who have talked about suicide, exhibited concerning behavior, or made threats.

After receiving a credible threat, START members visit the school, evaluate the student, and go to the student’s home. In most cases, START can recommend counseling. In more serious cases the student might be put on a 72-hourhold or arrested if a crime has been committed.

“I have no doubt that the START program has saved lives,” said Supervisor Janice Hahn who co-authored the

measure along with Supervisor Lathryn Barger.

“But this team’s resources are stretched thin. In a county of over 10 million, we need more than a team of 10 people working on this issue. We are investing in the START program and giving them the resources they need to take every single threat seriously because our children’s lives are at stake.”

In February Supervisors Hahn and Barger proposed examining ways the team could be expanded and strengthened. Since then, the START team has received 133 calls of possible threats.

“In partnership with law enforcement and our schools, the START program is an important tool that can work to prevent tragedies by responding to clear warning signs and cries for help by those who may be a danger to themselves or others,” said Supervisor Barger.

“We must ensure that our schools, parents, teachers, and students help us gather information and so that mental health professionals can effectively as-

sess and address concerning behavior.”

The Department of Mental Health provided a report back with several recommendations including expanding the START program, developing an education outreach program to train students, teachers, and community members to recognize and report threats, and develop a countywide communications awareness campaign.

With today’s motion, the Department of Mental Health has been instructed to implement these recommendations and hire an expert consultant to develop the best way to expand the START program to best meet the needs of our schools.

With passage of this motion, the Department of M ental Health will partner with the Los Angeles County Office of Education to reach out to all LA County school districts to provide resources for a school violence prevention awareness campaign, training modules and a school violence prevention video for school orientations ahead of this coming school year.

Detectives from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Missing Persons Unit are seeking the public’s assistance in locating Robert Miller. Mr. Miller was last seen on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 at 2:00 P.M. at Burrell Mc Donald Park in Compton, CA when he asked someone for directions to the bus stop. He has not returned to his Compton residence.

Mr. Miller is 81 years-old, 5’10” tall, weighing 155 pounds, bald with brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a beige hat, blue shirt, and blue jeans.

Mr. Miller suffers from dementia and the family is concerned for his well-being. They are seeking the public’s help in locating him. Possible destinations include San Bernardino and El Centro, CA. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau, Missing Persons Unit, Detective Abraham or Sergeant Nava at (323) 890-5500.

Mely Corado continued from page 1

"She started crying and said I want my mommy.

I know exactly that pain because I want my baby."

Mely's brother, Albert Jr. saluted his sister's strength.

"Mely was always the person I went to in a crisis.

So right now I feel a little lost."

Albert Jr. also said his sister really helped him when their mother died.

"When my mother died, Mely really stepped up. she was everything to me. I feel like I lost my heart."

One of Mely's female coworkers paid tribute to the slain woman.

"Mely loved deeply, honestly and without reservation.

She made Trader Joe's a better place every day." And Mely's best firend, Rochela, told the mourners, "Mely said her life's mission was to work as hard as she could so her family never had to again."

Mely was also saluted as an activist, who fervently campaigned for women's and human rights in Los Angeles.

At least one Trader Joe's, the store in Toluca Lake, closed Sunday so staff could attend Mely's funeral.

Melyda Corado was killed at 3:30 p.m. July 21 when a man suspected of shooting his grandmother and girlfriend in South Los Angeles crashed a car in front of the Trader Joe's market at the end of a police chase and fled inside, allegedly while exchanging gunfire with pursuing officers.

Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said Corado was struck by a bullet fired by a police officer at the suspect, 28-year-old Gene

Evin Atkins. Even though he did not fire the bullet that killed Corado, Atkins has been charged with her murder, under the theory he set off the chain of events that led to her death.

The two officers were identified Friday as Sinlen Tse and Sarah Winans, both of the Hollywood Patrol Division, according to an LAPD news release.

Moore said the two officers -- one a six-year veteran, the other a twoyear veteran -- fired a total of eight shots in return.

One of them struck Atkins in the left arm, but he continued running inside.

Another struck Corado, traveling through her arm and into her body, Moore said. The woman managed to stumble back inside the store after being shot, collapsing behind the manager's station.

She was carried out of the business by others in the store, but paramedics were unable to save her. Moore called the death a "tragic loss.'

Friday's LAPD release did not clarify the tenure and circumstance for each officer.

Atkins allegedly shot his 76-year-old grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Madison, as many as seven times and shot a 17-year-old girl at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 21 at his grandmother's South Los Angeles home in the 1600 block of East 32nd Street.

He then allegedly kidnapped the teenager and drove off in his grandmother's 2015 Toyota Camry.

Police spotted him in Hollywood, sparking a chase during which Atkins fired

shots at pursuing officers through the rear window of the Camry, Moore said.

A short time later, Atkins crashed into a light pole outside the Trader Joe's in the 2700 block of Hyperion Avenue.

"As Atkins exited his vehicle, witnesses reported they observed Atkins shoot at the officers," Moore told reporters.

"The officers exited their vehicle and returned fire as Atkins ran towards the entrance of Trader Joe's."

Atkins sustained a gunshot wound to his left forearm, but no officers were injured.

A memorial of flowers, balloons and signs has been growing outside the Silver Lake Trader Joe's store since Melyda Corado's death, and signs of tribute and support have been posted at other stores as well.

A GoFundMe page set up to benefit the family had raised more than $39,000 as of Friday.

"I've never heard testimony like that before in my life, and it was bone-chilling that I was sitting across the table from a person who has a badge and a gun," Sweeney said.

Before the COC, McDonnell said he couldn’t yet discuss specifics of the Taylor/Aldama case, but added, “I would like to provide some big-picture perspective of what I know, and what I intend to find out about this troubling issue.

NEWS Helping Students Find Individual Paths to Better Learning

LONG BEACH—Teachers devoted a summer vacation day to their own educations Friday, when they assembled at Cal State Long Beach and other California venues to hear and share ideas geared toward improving their abilities to connect with individual students.

T

HE Long Beach campus was among more than 30 places throughout the state for teachers participating in Better Together: California Teachers Summit 2018. The theme for Friday’s event, the fourth annual summit, was “It’s Personal: Meeting the Needs of Every Student.” The day provided attending teachers with opportunities to listen to acclaimed educators speak on their own classroom experiences, as well as to discuss their own thoughts on student learning with other teachers in breakout sessions called Edcamps.

“It’s supposed to be a day of teacher networking and teacher improvement before the school year starts,” Dr. Nat Hansuvadha, associate professor of advanced studies in education and counseling, said.

The day’s theme also highlighted the importance of teachers appreciating students’ individual personalities and needs.

“There are some real trends in education right now that are toward more inclusive classroom settings, more recognition that students with needs are in all our classrooms, so

Photo Credit: Tatiana Mata, Long Beach State University we all need to know how to teach every student,” said Cindy Grutzik, the College of Education’s associate dean for undergraduate and postbaccalaureate programs.

At the Long Beach campus, math and engineering teacher Ken Fisher (from Cabrillo High School in the Long Beach Unified School District) delivered a morning EdTalk address to teachers, during which he shared how his teaching strategies include the use of humor and cooperative games to motivate students.

“When you have to work together, it all of a sudden builds their confidence,” he said.

Fisher’s methods include challenging students to solve math problems in a darkened classroom, then connecting students’ experience to the history of Sophie Germain, who grew up in revolutionary France. Fisher recounted the story of her being forced to study in darkness because her parents didn’t want their daughter to pursue mathematics, but her achievements as a mathematician

are remembered to this day.

“And when the kids hear that, it’s like ‘Guys, you have to find your passion. You have to find what motivates you. What inspires you to be the greatest student that you can be?’” Fisher said.

Transitional kindergarten teacher Erin Jett (from Chapman Hills Elementary School in the Orange Unified School District) emphasized the importance of forming connections with students and their parents during the afternoon EdTalk.

Jett begins the school year by asking students if they would like her to join them for a special time such as a baseball game, piano recital or just a day to bake cookies.

“Building that relationship between the student and myself has such a powerful impact on their learning,” she said.

The California State University, Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities and New Teacher Center organized the statewide summit.

Hispanic Lawmakers Renew Call for Smithsonian Latino Museum

By Beatrice Jin WASHINGTON (AP)—Hispanic members of Congress are renewing their call for a national museum devoted to Latino history and culture, urging the passage of legislation to cover some of the costs.

A

DVOCATES have been pushing for a Hispanic museum since 2004, a year after the federal government authorized construction of the Smithsonian Institution's African-American museum.

Rep. Tony Cardenas, a

California Democrat, said Thursday, “If we don't take charge, another decade is going to go by, another decade is going to go by, and the biggest minority population in America is not going to have a powerful presence

in Washington, D.C., as we should.”

Citing the Black history museum as an example, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus said they plan to push Congress to pass legislation that covers half the cost. They didn't specify how much the Latino museum would cost, but casually estimated it could take $600 million to $700 million.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opened in

2016, was built with more than $500 million in public funds and private donations.

Cardenas, speaking at a Capitol Hill news conference, acknowledged that fundraising efforts would face obstacles.

“The Smithsonian is not exactly on our side,” Cardenas said. “The Smithsonian was not exactly on the Black community's side when they said you guys can do this.”

Linda St. Thomas, chief spokesperson for the Smithsonian, said there are no

plans for a new museum.

However, she said, the Smithsonian does offer “extensive Latino programming” and has hired 11 Latino curators. There also is a Latino labor rights exhibit currently on display in the National Museum of American History, St. Thomas said.

Before their news conference, Hispanic caucus members met with Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. They did not offer details about their meeting.

Hispanic caucus chair Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., said she was moved by a new virtual reality art installation, “Carne y Arena,” created by Academy Awardwinning director Alejandro G. Inarritu. The exhibit, located in a building about two miles from the Capitol, details migrant and refugee experiences at the U.S.-Mexico border. “That's what this is about—making sure you can see and visualize these issues,” Grisham said.

LB Beaches Reopened Following Sewage Spill

L

ONG BEACH— Swimming areas west of the Belmont Pier in Long Beach were reopened Tuesday, two days after a sewage spill fouled the ocean water.

A blocked sewage pipe in the City of Commerce, about 17 miles from Long Beach, led to the Sunday afternoon spill, which dumped about 9,000 gallons of sewage into the Los Angeles River from a sewer line controlled by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, leading to the Long Beach shore.

Long Beach health officials announced Tuesday that lab results show bacteria levels in the water to be within state safety levels, so the beach closures were lifted.

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.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 916-9390772 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-17-767784-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the

telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

‘Heard it Through the Grapevine’ Post Office to be Named for the ‘Prince of Soul’ One of the most iconic voices from the early 60’s through the mid-80’s, as well as writer, producer and collaborator and Rock Hall of Fame member, as well as Grammy Lifetime Achievement honoree, Marvin Gaye will now have a Los Angeles post office re-named in his honor.

A

S a member of the now legendary Detroit based session musician group The Funk Brothers, Gaye was the drummer for the Marvelettes hit debut, “Please Mr. Postman,” which was the fledgling Motown label’s first number one hit, released in late 1961.

Over the next two plus decades Gaye spit out numerous solo hits such as "How Sweet It Is," "Ain't That Peculiar," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and his duet singles with such singers as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell, Gaye was dubbed "The Prince of Motown" and "The Prince of Soul."

He won his first two Grammy’s in 1983 for the hit “Sexual Healing,” including being recognized for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

Only a year later, on the evening of April 1, 1984, after intervening in a physical altercation between his parents, Gaye was shot to death by his father Marvin Gaye Sr., on the eve of his 45th birthday in the home they shared in the West Adams District.

"Marvin Gaye's music has transcended generations and gave the '70s and '80s a sound," said Rep. Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, who introduced HR 1496 to name the post office at 3585 S. Vermont Ave. the Marvin Gaye Post Office. Gaye was elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.

"His music was cathartic," biographer David Ritz said. "His songs were prayers, meditations, strategies for survival."

SCE HAS MONEY-SAVING PROGRAMS. About 30% off your energy bill Free appliances

By Lynn Elber BEVERLY HILLS (AP)— It was Kendrick Lamar's friendship with 50 Cent that helped him get a guest role on Starz's “Power,” but Lamar came ready to work.

“He was so chill, like very cool, very humble,” said series creator and producer Courtney Kemp. “He's very kind of quiet and thorough and methodical.

He had prepared so much. He was ready.”

Kemp didn't give much away about the character Lamar plays in Sunday's episode airing at 8 p.m. EDT, but she said he indicated he was interested in playing a drug addict.

“He's really gifted, tremendously gifted. I mean it's a total transformation. It is not

a version of Kendrick Lamar that you've ever seen before. So it's very exciting,” Kemp told The Associated Press.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, a producer for “Power” who also appears in Sunday's show, got the ball rolling for his buddy Lamar, Kemp said Saturday.

“That is absolutely 50 Cent,” she said. “He is just a dynamo when it comes to bringing these things together, and he and Kendrick ... were hanging out and Kendrick said, ‘I'd really like to be on the show,' and you know it goes from there.”

Kemp, who took part in a panel discussion on the series Saturday, said the Grammyand Pulitzer-winning Lamar was “fearless” in approaching what Starz called his first role on a scripted TV series.

“Power” cast member

Larenz Tate, a self-described “huge” Lamar admirer, said he deliberately avoided going on set when the music star was working.

“I felt like I didn't want to disturb him because I knew this was a big moment for him,” Tate said. “I didn't want to throw that off because I would've been more into the Kendrick dynamic then what he's doing on the show at that moment. I didn't want to fan out, is my point.”

Whether Lamar will be back on the show, which is in its fifth season and stars Omari Hardwick as a drug kingpin and nightclub owner, is something Kemp wouldn't reveal before Lamar's episode airs. “Anyone can die in ‘Power' at any time! So I can't say,” Kemp said.
