‘Mountaintop’ Speech Remembrance Summons Crowd for Reflection, Action

MEMPHIS, Tenn.—As the days of our lives mesh into a reel of memories that can become challenging to recall as the volume of them increases, some days standout and we know at the time that they always will.

Such was the case for many who made their way to historic Mason Temple in Memphis to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s final speech there.

The draw was an “I AM 2018” movement event dubbed the “Mountaintop Speech Commemoration,” fittingly held at the world

MEDICAL MARIJUANA DELIVERIES Council takes a go-slow approach

SSISTANT City Attorney Ken Rozell spoke on behalf of the ordinance and said in 1996, California voters approved medical marijuana and also approved non-medical use by people ages 25 and older a few months ago.

“The one good thing about the new regulation is that cities and counties still retain the right to determine whether or not they want to allow commercial cannabis uses within their jurisdiction,” he said.

The Oxnard City Council held several study sessions about cannabis in 2017, he said, and after receiving input the n Deliveries, see page 7

The Ventura County Fairgrounds Isn’t All About Corndogs and Carnival Rides

By Staff Reports “A Country Fair with Ocean Air,” the Ventura County Fairgrounds is well known as a great place for 12 days of fun every August, it is known for the host of events throughout the year from dog shows and car shows to swap meets and private events like weddings and quinceaneras. The Fairgrounds stands ready for another very important role all year long - a safe haven during emergencies and at times of natural disaster.

The Ventura County Fairgrounds receives no tax dollars or any other State funding.

The Fair and maintenance of the Fairgrounds is made possible by self-generating funds.

To best serve the public in all of these capacities the Fairgrounds is making some hard decisions on how to responsibly use the funds generated through the

year. Properly maintaining the Fairgrounds is most important to ensure its safety and readiness in good times and in times of crisis.

To that end the Fairgrounds has regretfully announced it will reduce spending by eliminating the Fair Parade and reducing the number of Fireworks shows.

The decision to discontinue the Parade came after many years of declining attendance and rising costs of producing the parade.

"The parade was always one of our favorite traditions and we have always been proud of the spirit and talent that was shared with the community."

Fireworks shows have also been a favorite highlight of the Fair. Many looked forward to seeing the colorful displays in the summer sky. At the same time concerned citizens have requested the shows be modified for various reasons including environmental

considerations. With the rising costs of producing 12 shows and in response to community sentiment the number of shows has been limited to weekends.

Our recent memories of the Thomas Fire are a good example of how the Fairgrounds quickly assumes the emergency support role with serious attention.

Residents of the evacuation areas came to the Fairgrounds and were provided with compassionate direction. More than 8,500 First Responders, Red Cross, and Ventura County Animal Services were supported in their efforts by the quick and attentive Fairgrounds staff. Clean buildings, electricity, showers and living spaces were furnished promptly without question or pause, providing accommodation to the thousands of evacuees and responders.

The Ventura County Fairgrounds became the safe

place where mothers, fathers, grandparents and children took refuge as they were forced to evacuate their homes. With no time to hesitate, “Go to the Fairgrounds” was the imperative message on everybody’s lips.

It is because of the funds raised by the annual Ventura County Fair, the Derby Club (simulcast horse racing and betting) and the events we all enjoy throughout the year that the fairgrounds is able to provide the prompt emergency services that are necessary during wildfires, floods, mudslides, extreme heat and other natural disasters.

“We take our role of supporting the community very seriously,” says Fairgrounds CEO Barbara Quaid, adding “We are here for the people of Ventura County in times of need, we are going to drop everything and focus on that. “ n Fairgrounds, see page 2

movement and aggressive voter education and civic engagement program.

National and international celebrities—AFSCME President Lee Saunders, COGIC Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake Sr., Paul Chavez and Ambassador Andrew Young among them— dotted the scene at Mason Temple.

Dr. King’s children—Martin Luther King III and The Rev. Bernice King—moved about with palpable dignity and grace.

From Australia to Atlanta and myriad points between and beyond, 3,000-plus men, women and children packed the sanctuary to capacity 50 years ago on the night that Dr. King rose to the podium and— among other things—declared that, “We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop…

And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land.”

Attendees patiently stood in line for well over two hours to gain entrance into the church.

Many shared stories of what brought them to Mason Temple, with a common denominator being the reference to it as a place of reflection.

There was talk of calls to action. There was laughter.

There were tears. There were expressions of hope. There was talk of unity. Phone numbers, emails and—more importantly—ideas were shared like currency. Ideas of what can be said and done to move Dr. King’s message of economic and social justice forward.

“A pathway has been made for me now,” said 17 year-old Nia Simone Gayles. “It makes me feel more grateful.”

Keara Fenzel made her way with family to Memphis from Denver, Colo. They made the trek grateful for the lessons they learned from Dr. King on how to organize in the Black community and how to lead on critical issues such as inequality.

Issues that are important now more than ever, she said.

“I’m fortunate to be able to commemorate Dr. King and be around people who want to live in a better world for all us,” Fenzel said.

'Zero Tolerance'

Policy for Border Crossers

By Elliot Spagat Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday ordered a “zero tolerance” policy aimed at people entering the United States illegally for the first time on the Mexican border.

The move caps a week of unusually intense attention to border security that included President Donald Trump's order for thousands of National Guard members to head to the border.

S

ESSIONS told federal prosecutors in border districts to put more emphasis on charging people with illegal entry, which has historically been treated as a misdemeanor offense for those with few or no previous encounters with border authorities. Smugglers and frequent offenders are usually charged with more serious crimes.

His one-page order lacks specifics on how the policy will be carried out but signals that major change is in the works. He tells prosecutors to ask for additional resources if needed to prosecute cases.

The move caps a week of unusually intense attention to border security that included President Donald Trump's order for thousands of National Guard members to head to the border.

Sessions said “a crisis has erupted” on the border, requiring more criminal prosecutions. He issued a similar directive a year ago that addressed a larger number of border crimes and used softer language on new offenders, saying that prosecutors “should aim to accomplish the goal of deterring first-time improper entrants.”

His new order introduces the zero-tolerance terminology and deals exclusively with the statute applied to first-time crossers, saying a recent increase in illegal crossings “requires an updated approach.”

A conviction for illegal entry carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison for first-time crossers and two years for repeat

offenses. In practice, many are deported after pleading guilty and spending a few days in jail.

As a model, Sessions pointed to a Border Patrol effort launched in 2005 in Texas, which targeted first-time crossers for criminal prosecution. It eventually spread to federal courts throughout Texas, Arizona and New Mexico but didn't reach California.

Sessions said the operation contributed to a “decrease in illegal

activities” but its success has been debated. In 2015, the Homeland Security Department's inspector general called for a fuller account of its impact.

Border Patrol figures show Mexicans were much less likely to try crossing again if they were criminally charged than if they were simply turned around. But the operation also severely strained courtrooms and jails and fueled criticism of

“assembly-line justice.”

In Tucson, Arizona, 70 people filled a courtroom to plead guilty in collective hearings that could last less than an hour.

Sessions told border prosecutors that he was open to other ideas.

“Remember, our goal is not simply more cases,” he wrote. “It is to end the illegality in our immigration system.”

Border arrests, a useful but imperfect gauge of illegal crossings, reached 50,308 in March, up 37 percent from February and more than triple the same period last year.

That's still less than periodic surges during former President Barack Obama's second term and far lower than the 1990s and 2000s.

Immigration judges overseen by Sessions were told last week of quotas starting Oct. 1, with an expectation to complete 700 cases a year.

The Justice Department cast it as an effort to reduce a court backlog of nearly 700,000 cases, but the judges’ union and immigration attorneys predicted it would deprive people of fair hearings and provide more grounds for appeal, potentially worsening the backlog.

Man Drives Thousands of Miles for Animals in Need The hum of the open road has a way of lulling John Dougherty into a peaceful, reflective state.

The sound also helps soothe the antsy passengers that often accompany him on long rides over the weekend. They're usually puppies, sometimes adult dogs and—every now and then—a cat.

And they're in distress.

“It's crazy,” Dougherty, a 56-year-old Jeffersonville resident and physician's assistant, said.

“You'll get 20 to 30 dogs and they're all going nuts. You've got puppies crying, you've got dogs barking at each other “Then all of the sudden, once you get on the road maybe 10, 15 minutes into the trip, the hum of the road just calms them all down.”

Dougherty knows a thing or two about driving with dogs. Last year, he logged nearly 19,000 miles on the road as a volunteer animal transporter. He's one of whoknows-how-many people who belong to an extensive, somewhat underground network that helps move abused or neglected animals from one city to another in an effort to save them from euthanasia and place them into a good home.

Dougherty doesn't want a pat on the back, but when you learn how many dogs he helped rescue just last year, it's hard not to praise

When you hear stories of dogs with chains on outside in inclement weather and given no love or attention, barely given water or food ... Those are the cases that obviously drew me in to get me involved. his good deeds.

“I did nearly 400 dogs, 10 cats, a hedgehog and a ferret,” he said.

A CALLING Dougherty had always loved animals, particularly dogs. As a kid, his first pet was a pekingese mix dog his sister brought home one day. They called it Poochie.

Today, he has three dogs: Sophie, Travis Barker and Cammy, all of which came to him in need.

He adopted Sophie from the Kentucky Humane Society, Travis Barker was a stray a co-worker had taken in but couldn't keep, and Cammy was a temporary foster that stole his heart and never left.

Beyond his own home, Dougherty said he's always supported animal causes, usually by writing a check. But as he befriended more and more likeminded people on Facebook, his world opened up and he knew he

had to do more.

“What really caught me was the mistreated animals. When you hear stories of dogs with chains on outside in inclement weather and given no love or attention, barely given water or food ... Those are the cases that obviously drew me in to get me involved.”

So about three years ago, he responded to a call on Facebook from a rescue in Troy, Ala., that was looking for volunteer transporters to take a pit bull from Alabama to Louisville. With such long treks, a coordinator will typically arrange a relay of transporters to split up the drive, using social media to patch the trip together.

Dougherty agreed to pick up the pit bull from Franklin, Tenn., and drive it to Louisville where a woman specializing in the breed could train the dog and help get it adopted.

“I had no idea what to do with

him,” Dougherty admitted.

He was given a leash and took the dog for a walk before hitting the road. He was nervous, because he'd never handled “that type of animal.” But his nerves were soon eased.

“When I put him in my car, he immediately fell asleep on my front seat and put his head on my hand while it was on the shifter,” Dougherty remembered, fighting back tears. “So I was hooked at that point.”

AN UNWANTED NEED Now Dougherty boasts a garage stacked with kennels, plenty of leashes and an old van just for transporting animals.

“Well I've kind of become ... some of my friends refer to me as ‘crazy dog guy,' “ he joked.

He said it's hard to explain why he does what he does, but animal transporting came to him at a time in his life where he was looking for a way to get more involved and give back. Thousands of miles and dollars in gas money later, and he still finds it rewarding.

But the truth is, he'd rather not transport animals.

“I'd prefer not to be in the business actually. I want to get out of transport. I don't want to ever be needed,” he said.

“But it's there.”

"Every council member received an email from someone who used to be a city manager offering his services to be a city manager,"

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

For those who don't understand, the difference between two and five is three.

Councilman Bert Perello said.

He said he and Councilman Oscar Madrigal asked for it to be on the agenda.

"The city attorney and I have a disagreement, but that's how I see it," he said. "It was not the intent to limit the applicants to local applicants only; it was the intent to be fair to every elected council member."

He raised concern when two council members asked for an item be put on the agenda and it wasn't.

"The item is on the agenda for discussion to review the offer of this individual and since then some other individuals," he said. "We've had two that have applied directly ."

He said Fischer told him the two people who applied directly was turned over to the headhunter.

"I don't know how that works because the headhunter hasn't put the advertisement yet," he said.

Perello said he would not serve on a committee that doesn't get a review from the council of what the committee is doing and the majority doesn't get to vote.

"No consensus baloney, a vote where we go on the record," he said.

He said the committee has two individuals and the council has five people.

"For those who don't understand, the difference between two and five is three," he said. "The minority would be able to do something for the city, without the other three is a problem," he said.

Perello said he stands by the need for a job description.

"This city has been hoodwinked and snookered the last couple of contracts that have gone to city managers," he said. "We need to know what to expect from

the individual and the person who takes the job needs to know what is expected of him."

He said most of the people know what is expected of them at work.

"Responsibility and accountability go hand-inhand in the real world," he said. "The City of Oxnard is in the real world."

He said Madrigal is on a mission to a church in Mexico and his job requires him to do it.

"If he doesn't go, he doesn't have a job," Perello said.

"That's called a responsible, and he is accountable for that responsibility."

He wanted to bring the issue to the council and see how they fell.

"We had a lot of people say they want a local hire," he said.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said she has a different opinion.

"I know that being one of the two members of the committee, it was my sense that we would do the grunt work and I think the job description is something the council should weigh-in on," she said. "I think the one that Councilman Perello is good with a little bit of tweaking."

She said the CEO of Ventura County applied.

"As far as the local candidates, I sent them on to the person who is helping us with the recruitment," she said.

"I'm not going to pre-judge anybody or dismiss anybody, and I think it's great they are interested. I do not support limiting the candidates to local candidates."

She said local candidates should be considered.

"We cannot, as a council, hire somebody we know or not hire somebody we don't like," she said. "That's how I feel about either of these two

fine gentlemen that applied."

She said it doesn't look like a fair process.

"I support an open invitation to people with the experience and the like experience," Ramirez said.

"We're not saying you have to be a city manager, but you have to have some management experience, in my opinion."

She said Oxnard is looking for someone who is special and ready to take on the opportunities and challenges.

"To do a good job for all of us," she said. "I don't want to limit us to locals only, but certainly locals are welcome to apply."

Flynn said the council has a recruitment brochure in front of them to entice a lot of applicants, not a job description.

"I appreciate Councilman Perello wanting the full council to weigh in on it, and I would like the two doing the grunt work, like mayor pro tem (Ramirez) said to make a recommendation to us," he said.

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said he looked at and liked the recruitment flyer.

"In terms of a job description, at this level, if you need a job description to tell you what to do, you're probably not going to be my ideal candidate," he said. "I expect people to come in having a base understanding of what this position entails, it's upper management, and it's not something that you look at."

He said it's not a full job description but gives a pretty good idea of what the city manager does.

He loves the idea that local candidates are interested but doesn't want to preclude the whole process for two local candidates.

"I certainly encourage them to participate, and allow us to make the decision we have to make," he said.

Mayor Tim Flynn said the recruitment brochure is done well.

"It's a combination of the visuals, some of the most attractive parts of the City of Oxnard, and that entices people to apply," he said.

Flynn said he knows the two applicants and called them highly qualified.

"I wouldn't want to limit the pool to local candidates," he said. "It has nothing to do about the two candidates who applied, but I would be willing to consider something that might give a local candidate an extra advantage to hiring a local candidate just like we give a 5 percent advantage to bidding for local contracts."

During public comments, Robert Franks said he was relieved to find out the job wouldn't be limited to local candidates.

"If you get the right candidate, the commitment will come," he said.

He called the announcement excellent.

OPED WALKING MLK’S LINE: One Foot in the Dream, One Foot in the World

By Sen. Kamala D. Harris Last month, in the middle of this incredibly challenging time for our nation, I had the honor of joining Congressman John Lewis for the annual march commemorating the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights. And as we crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge, I thought about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream.

It was 50 years ago this week that Dr. King’s life was cut short. But his impact lives on today in countless ways.

When we think of the doors of opportunity that have swung open to people of every color, there’s no question Dr. King’s arc of the moral universe has been bent toward justice.

But there is no question we have more work to do.

When Black unemployment, homeownership, and incarceration rates are the same or worse today than in Dr. King’s day—when the lives of young Black people are ended far too soon and we have a Department of Justice acting more like a Department of Injustice—it is still up to us to make Dr. King’s dream real for every American.

The genius of Dr. King was that he was both aspirational and a realist. He had the deep faith to believe that we could live up to the ideals embodied in the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, that we are all and should be treated as equals. But he also understood that we would not

When we think of the doors of opportunity that have swung open to people of every color, there’s no question Dr. King’s arc of the moral universe has been bent toward justice.

get there overnight or through faith alone. And he was able to help people appreciate how his cause was theirs as well.

Dr. King had the gift of bringing together people from all walks of life to fight for a common cause. Americans

from every background— young and old, Black and white, organized labor and civil rights activists, preachers and rabbis—all united behind Dr. King’s vision for justice and equality. Part of his great power was that he understood

that if you brought people together, you could succeed in the face of great odds.

That’s why, the night he was killed, Dr. King was in Memphis, standing in solidarity with striking African-American city sanitation workers. He

championed their right to have a safe workplace, dignified wages, and a decent retirement.

Because Dr. King knew that you cannot have equality unless everyone has an equal shot at economic freedom and dignity.

As he put it, “What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn’t have enough money to buy a hamburger?”

All across this country, hardworking Americans— regardless of their background—want to know that if they work hard and play by the rules, they’ll have a shot at the American dream. It is up to us to continue that fight.

As forces of hate and division seek to divide our country, we must continue to look to Dr. King for inspiration. We must reject the notion that we are a divided country. We must embrace what we have in common and reinforce the broad coalition Dr. King brought together.

The way I see it, when any of us wake up at 3am in the morning with something that’s worrying us, we worry about our health, the health of our children, whether we can get and keep a job, whether we can pay off our student loans.

Those concerns are common to us all. And all of us can play a role in addressing them.

While our world has changed a great deal since Dr. King’s death, certain values have remained constant. Values that tell us we should love thy neighbor, that we should treat each person with dignity and respect, that we should protect everyone’s safety, and that we should promote everyone’s free expression. And these ideals are shared by people all across America.

When we look in the mirror, let us think about who we are as a country. Flawed though we may be, we are a great country. But we have to fight for the best of who we are. Fifty years later, Dr. King continues to challenge us. And now is not the time to throw up our hands when we must instead roll up our sleeves.

My dream is that we can recognize that we have more in common than what separates us and come together to achieve the racial and economic justice Dr. King spoke of. That’s my dream. It’s one I’ll continue to fight for.

And I hope Americans from every walk of life join in that fight as well.

Will HUD Secretary Ben Carson Enforce the Fair Housing Act?

By Julianne Malveaux The Fair Housing Act was passed a week after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.

President Lyndon Johnson encouraged Congress to pass the legislation as a tribute to the slain civil rights leader, who, along with several civil rights organizations (including the NAACP), strongly supported the act. African American veteran’s organizations (including the American GI Forum) were especially passionate about the legislation, especially since Vietnam veterans were among those experiencing severe housing discrimination. Senator Ed Brooke (R-Mass.), the only African American in the Senate at the time, along with his Massachusetts colleague, Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) was especially focused on the legislation.

The Fair Housing Act is also known as Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (which was later amended in 1988) prevents discrimination in the sale, rental, financing, and advertising of housing because of race, color, religion, disability, family status, and national origin. But with the severe wealth inequality in our nation, there are still major gaps between homeownership by race; African American households were more heavily impacted by the Great Recession than any other racial group. Between 2004 and 2016, every group experienced a decline in homeownership, but while Whites experienced a 4.1 percent decline, African American households experienced a 7 percent decline, dropping from nearly half (49 percent) of

Will HUD Secretary Ben Carson … effectively administer an agency that can make a difference in the quality of life for low-income people?

Black households owning homes to just 41.9 percent. Meanwhile, White homeownership remained over 70 percent. As much as a third of African American wealth was wiped out by the Great Recession, and this is partly due to discrimination in banking, including the ways that some banks aggressively pushed subprime loans on African Americans, even those who qualified for traditional loans.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the federal agency that is responsible for enforcing the Fair Housing Act, as well as providing rental assistance, public housing, and housing vouchers for those who cannot afford housing on their incomes. Our 45th president had proposed deep cuts in the HUD budget, but the budget that was passed on March 23, 2018, just hours before the government was scheduled to shut down, actually adds money to the HUD budget, especially in the rental assistance and public housing capital funds program. Still, cuts are scheduled for the next fiscal year, and the issue of non-discriminatory and affordable housing remains a pressing one.

But will HUD Secretary Ben Carson enforce the Fair Housing

One has to raise the question, especially as Dr. Carson seems to want to spend more time looking for a $30,000 dining table than administering his agency. Trump’s pick of Carson to administer the agency was a strange one, given that Carson’s only qualification for running one of the government’s largest agencies seems to be that his mom avoided public housing because of its “dangers.” Trump does

not seem to be high on finding qualified people to run HUD. For example, Lynne Patton, the HUD administrator for Region II, which includes New York and New Jersey, was Eric Trump’s wedding planner.

It may seem snarky to point out things that some would call “minor,” and both Patton and Carson will, perhaps, grow into their roles. They have to; their work makes a difference in the quality of life, and the quality of housing, for millions of Americans. And, there is no evidence that Carson has spearheaded innovative

programs (wait – did I write Carson and “innovative programs” in the same sentence?) to close the homeownership gap or to help African American families recover from the ravages of the Great Recession.

Furthermore, while this has little to do with Carson, the effort to roll back Dodd-Frank reforms and the evisceration of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau strips power from consumers, especially those of low and moderate incomes. By making it more difficult to file class action lawsuits, individuals who experience banking discrimination are handicapped in their ability to fight back. Carson, singing from the “45” playbook, when he opens up his mouth at all, is not likely to be an effective advocate for the people he has frequently disdained.

Indeed, though he has thrown his wife, Candy, under the bus on the matter of the dining table, he is no different from other cabinet officials who have a “let them eat cake” attitude toward those they serve.

First class travel, high-end furniture, and chicanery are the name of the “45” cabinet game. Fifty years after the passage of the Fair Housing Act as a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it is not clear that the current HUD Secretary will be a warrior in the fight against housing discrimination.

OPED

Remembering Dr. King

By Marian Wright Edelman I first heard Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speak in person on April 19, 1960 at Spelman College’s Sisters Chapel during my senior year in college. Dr. King was just 31 but he had already gained a national reputation during the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott five years earlier.

The profound impact on me of hearing Dr. King that first time is evident in my diary where I repeated long portions of his speech that had vibrated the chords of my freedom- and justice-hungry soul. It is not often that great leaders and great turning points in history converge and sweep us up in a movement.

Dr. King became a mentor and friend. Many children today have come to see him as a history book hero—a largerthan-life, mythical figure.

But it’s crucial for them to understand Dr. King wasn’t a superhuman with magical powers, but a real person— just like all the other ministers, parents, teachers, neighbors, and other familiar adults in their lives today. Although I do remember him as a great leader and a hero, I also remember him as someone able to admit how often he was afraid and unsure about his next step. But faith prevailed over fear, uncertainty, fatigue, and sometimes depression. It was his human vulnerability and ability to rise above it that I most remember. “If I Can Help Somebody Along the Way” was his favorite song.

Dr. King’s greatness lay in his willingness to struggle to hear and see the truth; to not give into fear, uncertainty and despair; to continue to grow and to never lose hope, despite every discouragement from his government and even his closest friends and advisers. He would say: “Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” That first time I

heard him at Spelman he told us to always keep going: “If you cannot fly, run; if you cannot run, walk; if you cannot walk, crawl. But keep moving. Keep moving forward.”

Ten years ago I wrote a letter to Dr. King in my book The Sea Is So Wide and My Boat Is So Small: Charting a Course for the Next Generation. I rewrite just a small part of it here: Although you have been gone fifty years, you are with me every day. We have made much but far from enough progress in overcoming the tenacious national demons of racism, poverty, materialism, and militarism you repeatedly warned could destroy America and all of God’s creation. So I wanted to write you a letter on what we have done and still have to do to realize your and America’s dream. What a privilege it was to know, work with, and learn from you in the struggle to end racial

segregation, discrimination, and poverty in our land.

Just as many Old and New Testament prophets in the Bible were rejected, scorned, and dishonored in their own land in their times, so were you by many when you walked among us. Now that you are dead, many Americans remember you warmly but have sanitized and trivialized your message and life. They remember Dr. King the great orator but not Dr. King the disturber of unjust peace. They applaud the Dr. King who opposed violence but not the Dr. King who called for massive nonviolent demonstrations to end war and poverty in our national and world house.

They applaud your great 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech but ignore the promissory note still bouncing at America’s bank of justice, waiting to be cashed by millions who are poor and non-White. And they forget

your repeated nightmares: the deaths of the four little girls in the Birmingham church and of three young civil rights workers in Mississippi’s Freedom Summer and others across the South; the cries for Black Power begun during James Meredith’s March Against Fear that you and others completed after he was shot; the growing violence in urban ghettos in southern and northern cities; the horrible, relentless violations of your human rights by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover; the storm of criticism that greeted your opposition to the Vietnam War, which you saw was stealing the hopes and lives of the poor at home and in that poor country; the outbreak of violence in a Memphis march you led in support of garbage workers; and the resistance to your call for a Poor People’s Campaign to end the poverty then afflicting 25.4 million

Americans, including 11 million children. We now have more than 40 million people who are poor in America including more than 13.2 million children although our gross domestic product (GDP) is more than three times larger than in 1968. And the income gap between rich and poor in the United States continues at historically high levels and higher than in every other wealthy industrialized nation.

But you struggled on as the civil rights leadership splintered, as White Americans tired of Black demands, and as the country became preoccupied with Vietnam. I marveled every night during the long Meredith March from Memphis to Jackson at your patient discussions with Stokely Carmichael and Willie Ricks and other SNCC leaders who wanted to exclude Whites from the movement and push you to endorse all necessary means for change, including violence. You listened as they vented their justified frustrations about the slow pace of racial progress and you tried to reason with them, repudiating their proposed “Black Power” slogan and strategies without repudiating them. You taught me and others of your followers how to parse out the good from the not so good, and to always seek common ground. And when you had no immediate solution you gave others the courtesy of a respectful hearing.

In the years between Montgomery and Memphis, you listened, learned, grew, and spoke the truth about what you discerned, and resisted those who sought to ghettoize your concern for social justice and peace. After your opposition to the Vietnam War provoked a firestorm of criticism by Whites, Blacks, friends, and foes, you correctly asserted that “nothing in the commandments you believed in set any national boundaries around the neighbors you

were called to love.” Black people told you to be quiet, not anger President Johnson and jeopardize his support for civil rights and antipoverty efforts. White people told you to be quiet because you were not an expert on foreign policy, as if Black leaders and citizens had no stake in a war tearing our nation apart and taking disproportionate numbers of Black children’s lives, forgetting it was the “experts” that got us into this ill-fated war in the first place.

Some contributors deserted you as you called not only for an end to the Vietnam War but for a fairer distribution of our country’s vast resources between the rich and the poor. Why, they asked, were you pushing the nation to do more on the tail of the greatest civil rights strides ever and challenging a president who already had declared a war on poverty? You understood that our nation’s ills went deeper …

You blessed America with your rich faith, spiritual traditions, and prophetic preaching. You gave us your deep and abiding love and lifelong commitment to nonviolence. You shared your moral clarity and courageous truth telling. You left us your unrelenting commitment to justice for the poor and every one of God’s children. You showed us the way through your example and call for massive nonviolent action in the service of justice and peace. And you gave us your life.

Thank you. We will carry on.

Heritage Foundation President Remembers Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

By Kay Coles James President, The Heritage Foundation Fifty years ago today, America lost one of her greatest leaders, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Like so many who were alive on April 4, 1968, I clearly remember the shock I felt when I heard that Dr. King had been assassinated. On that fateful day, we lost a man of deep faith and extraordinary vision who inspired millions to “make America a better nation.”

I often think of Dr. King’s words, especially when confronting the problems that continue to plague our great nation: education inequality; welfare dependence; family breakdown; the loss of faith; and the coarsening of our culture. If Dr. King could be with us today, would he applaud us for realizing his vision? Or would he urge us to press on? In my heart, I know it would be the latter.

But in that realization is hope. The problems Dr. King cared about so deeply are the same ones we care about today. We know every child— regardless of their race, age, income or address—deserves

an excellent education. We know every family deserves to be whole, healthy, and empowered to reach their hopes and dreams. We know every parent deserves to realize the dignity of work and the respect of their children.

And we know every life, from the youngest to the oldest, deserves to be protected and honored.

These things we know, just as Dr. King did a half century ago. Let’s honor this tragic anniversary and his shining legacy by dedicating ourselves to ridding our nation of these old problems with new solutions that work. Let’s rise up and realize the future Dr. King knew could be ours.

At the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Dr. King stood before the nation and proclaimed, “Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children.” He was right. Now is the time. So, in his memory, let’s recommit our nation to achieving his inspirational vision.

HEALTH Getting Kids to a Good Weight

by Age 13 Might Help Avoid Diabetes

By Marilynn Marchione There may be a critical window for overweight kids to get to a healthy level. Those who shed their extra pounds by age 13 had the same risk of developing diabetes in adulthood as others who had never weighed too much, a large study of Danish men found.

D

IABETES can develop when the body can't properly use insulin to turn food into energy. Being overweight at any age raises the chances of the most common form, Type 2. But it's not known whether or how much that risk is reduced if people lose weight, and when.

“This study seems to suggest that overweight in adolescence is particularly harmful” and that reversing it by then can do a lot of good, said Dr. Stephen Daniels, pediatrics chief at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver.

He had no role in the study, which was led by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, sponsored by the European Union, and published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.

It involved 62,565 men in Denmark, where mandatory school and military service exams enabled

tracking their health for decades.

Heights and weights were measured when they were 7, 13, and between 17 and 26. National health records were used to see how many developed diabetes in adulthood.

Men who were overweight at age 7 but weren't by age 13 had similar odds of diabetes later in life as men who'd never been overweight.

Those who were overweight only at 13, or only at 7 and 13, had a lower risk than those who stayed overweight throughout young adulthood but a higher risk than men who'd never been overweight.

“They are hopeful results” that show there are benefits if parents can help chubby kids “grow into a healthy weight,” said Steven Gortmaker, a childhood obesity researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health.

“If you can slow the rise of obesity in very young children you have a chance of really preventing future cases of diabetes.”

Why might the teen years matter

Study: Blacks and Whites Differ in Their Willingness to Participate in Health Research Studies Healthcare practitioners need to ensure beneficence, justice and respect for all.

Racial and ethnic minorities, especially Africa-Americans are significantly less likely to participate in health-related research than whites, says a new study from Ball State University.

This impedes the testing, development, implementation, and evaluation of various clinical and community based disease prevention and health promotion interventions, said said Jagdish Khubchandani, a community health education professor in Ball State's College of Health and author of the study Black–White Differences in Willingness to Participate and Perceptions about Health Research.

The research, which was recently published in Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, examines health research participation history and willingness to participate.

“According to the findings, lesser-educated, older, and male African-Americans are less likely to participate in health research studies,” Khubchandani said.

“It could be possible that this generation of older AfricanAmerican males still experiences prejudice or is highly aware of the past exploitation of racial and ethnic minorities in healthcare research and healthcare systems.”

Researchers found that about 15 percent of African-American respondents have participated in a health research study and 48 percent would participate in a health research study if invited.

While more than a fifth of whites

(23 percent) have participated in a study, majority would like to participate if invited (57 percent).

“Trust building should be a key component of healthcare professional training and practice,” he said “If individuals do not want to participate in health research studies, it becomes difficult to find better care or disease prevention methods.”

Community members ages 18 years or older enrolled in HealthStreet, an innovative community engagement research program comprised the source of study population. A total of 7,809 community members (58.6 percent females) participated in the study with 65.8 percent African-Americans and 34.2 percent whites.

The study also found: • Older African- American males with lower education are the least likely to participate in health research studies.

• The amount of fair compensation desired by AfricanAmericans to participate in health research studies was two times higher than Whites.

• Individuals who are unemployed, food insecure, and chronically ill are more likely to volunteer for health research studies.

• Those who have participated in health research studies in the past, are more likely to be willing to participate again, if invited to participate “Healthcare practitioners need to ensure beneficence, justice, and respect for all. While billions of dollars are spent every year due to existing health disparities, these disparities can be reduced by better research and including racial and ethnic minorities as a key component of all healthcare initiatives from governance to consumer preference.”

so much?

“At adolescence you become more insulin resistant, just sort of a natural part of puberty,” Daniels explained.

The muscles and organs don't use insulin as well after then, so it takes more to get the same job done, he said.

The study had many limitations— it was only in men, and there was no

information on what they weighed in adulthood, when the diabetes developed.

It was a different time and place— decades ago in Denmark, only 5 percent to 8 percent of these men had been overweight as children or teens.

Today in the United States, about 35 percent of kids are, and more than 23 percent are worldwide.

For Many Black Washingtonians, Gentrification Threatens Housing and Health This is the first article in a series focused on the health effects associated with gentrification in Washington, D.C. By many measures, the revitalization of neighborhoods across Washington, D.C. has been a windfall for the city. Fueled by higher tax revenues and property values, the city is awash in construction cranes, new libraries, restaurants and retail, and more than 70 miles of bike lanes—all welcomed signs of gentrification in the nation’s capital.

Lost in the city’s waves of new amenities and newer, more affluent inhabitants, are the long-time Washingtonians who have been pushed out or who are fighting to stay in the city.

Shirley Williams is one of those residents, who decided to fight.

For Williams, that fight came with debilitating consequences.

Williams said that she developed diabetes a year after she and fellow residents were displaced, for eight years, from their 54-unit gardenstyle apartment complex at 7th and Q Streets in the Shaw neighborhood.

She has since returned. Now, there’s a new apartment building at 7th and Q named Jefferson Marketplace; an upscale pet store, a Thai restaurant and a French wine bar are located on the street level; Williams said that she’s not the same, either.

Williams connects many of her health problems to the uncertainty of her housing situation, a rootlessness that has spanned nearly a decade.

“I’m on dialysis now; I can hardly get around,” said Williams, a mother of three grown children. “I wasn’t weak. I could walk down to those ONE DC meetings, but I can’t do that anymore. I’m pretty sure it affected my health; I lost my eyesight…can’t see anything anymore.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the displacement associated with gentrification has many health implications that contribute to disparities among special populations, including the poor, women, children, the elderly, and members of racial/ ethnic minority groups.

“These special populations are at increased risk for the negative consequences of gentrification,” the

A once-thriving community of more than 400 residents has been reduced to less than 100 as city officials prepare to build expensive, mixed-use housing that Barry Farm residents fear will force them out of their homes.

CDC said. “Studies indicate that vulnerable populations typically have shorter life expectancy; higher cancer rates; more birth defects; greater infant mortality; and higher incidence of asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.”

Dominic Moulden, a veteran activist, housing advocate and resource organizer for Organizing Neighborhood Equity (ONE DC), knows Williams well and spoke of her challenges and those faced by thousands of other residents who have been displaced by rising housing costs or who have decided to fight for their homes in court and on the streets. ONE DC is a grassroots organization that advocates on behalf of residents who are in danger of losing their homes.

Moulden said that he’s watched the city change in significant and seemingly all-encompassing ways, usually to the disadvantage of native Washingtonians.

“I’ve been here for 32 years and I organized on 14th and U Street in the ‘90s. If we talked then, I could have told you what was going to happen in every quadrant,” he said. “Our focus is on displacement—the economics of land and housing impact health and wellness, as people are moved around this chessboard.”

Moulden said that Williams’ story of declining health during a prolonged housing battle, is a familiar one.

“I’ve seen people get sick and die in the years [after they were] forced out of their homes and that includes mental health issues,” Moulden said.

In the mid-90s, according to Census

data, the district had a population of 528,000 and by 2015, the population had climbed to 681,170. Washington has seen a net population gain of more than 70,000 people since the 2010 Census and more than 100,000 residents since the 2000 Census. In the mid-1990s, the city boasted a 72 percent Black population and in 2016, according to the Census, it now stands at 48 percent. To the chagrin of the city’s Black residents, “The Chocolate City,” has become a vanilla swirl, replete with dog parks, street cars, bike lanes and cobbled streets as physical evidence of the changing demographics.

Washington, D.C is one of the most expensive cities to live in anywhere in the United States. Million-dollar homes are commonplace in areas of the city like Kalorama and Congress Heights and it’s fairly certain that buyers would have to ante up hundreds of thousands for a home, apartment or townhouse. In 2015, the median household income in Washington, D.C. was $75,628, a 5.55 percent growth from the previous year.

Statistics from the U.S. Census, a combination of studies conducted and compiled by researchers at Georgetown University and an investigative series centering on gentrification by the nonprofit, independent news organization Truthout, estimates that more than 50,000 D.C. residents have fled the city, as housing costs spiraled out of reach. Washington has the second highest rents in the country and more than 50 percent of the city’s affordable housing stock has vanished since 2009.

NEWS Sacramento Settles Police Beating Lawsuit, Promises Reforms

Photos Reveal, Recognize Black Work Camps During Depression

By Jeff Karoub DETROIT—A striking, sepiatoned picture recently acquired by the University of Michigan jumps out from the past and begs to tell a story: A man dressed in a heavy coat and hat is as big as the cabin door whose knob he is reaching to turn and enter.

The picture is labeled simply, “Big Jim.” The rare photo is among 30 acquired by the Bentley Historical Library last year from a private donor that capture a place and time often overlooked by history: Black Civilian Conservation Corps camps in Michigan and elsewhere during the Great Depression.

The photos are the only known images of the state's segregated, all-Black camps. President Franklin Roosevelt established the corps in the early 1930s, offering shelter, clothing, food and wages to a “vast army” of unemployed men who worked to conserve and restore national resources.

As the people and stories behind the pictures are increasingly lost to time, the university posted them online and launched a public call for information. So far, Big Jim's story is the only one that's been filled in, thanks to people who knew him and responded: He was James Richardson, a quiet, strong, hard-working rural Michigan farmer who served in World War I and went on to join the CCC. For the archivists, it represents delayed but welcome recognition for the contributions of workers who faced discrimination and marginalization during a dark economic era.

“What I liked about the photographs is they show that these young guys were doing work on parks, trails, out in the woods _ way away from their homes,” said Morris Thomas, who as a child knew Richardson and identified him for Michigan researchers after seeing his image in a state history magazine. “It is something unique; there aren't that many photos available.”

Eighty-five years after the Civilian Conservation Corps' creation, any cache of this kind is a boon to historians.

Photographs from designated Black camps are far less common than from white camps. Thomas, now 75, says his family also had

There were really no jobs for Black people at that time, only menial jobs. All those guys got a chance to ... show people they can work and can do anything anybody else can do.

Bentley Historical Library via AP In a photo provided by the Bentley Historical Library, James "Big Jim" Richardson is photographed outside a cabin in Michigan in 1936.

The university has acquired a trove of photos capturing a place and time largely overlooked by history: black Civilian Conservation Corps camps during the Great Depression. The photos are the only known images of the state's segregated, all-black camps. President Franklin Roosevelt established the corps in the early 1930s to employ a "vast army" of unemployed men and restore national resources. photos of an uncle who worked in a Black camp but laments, “Now we can't find them.”

Despite the legacy of segregation, the photos and stories they conjure reveal elements of unexpected egalitarianism and advancement.

“That was a tremendous thing for Black people,” said Thomas' cousin Frank Thomas, who as a boy often spent time with Richardson and neighborhood friends. “There were really no jobs for Black people at that time, only menial jobs. All those guys got a chance to ... show people they can work and can do anything anybody else can do.”

CCC camps initially were integrated, according to the university, but became

segregated by 1935 amid community protests. Out of Michigan's roughly 150 camps, some 16 were designated for Black men. Black membership was capped at 10 percent of the overall corps, which numbered around 3 million over the course of the program.

The Michigan History Center says the state's Black camps helped build a ski area and contributed to efforts to plant millions of trees, fight forest fires, construct bridges and buildings, and establish public campgrounds.

“The CCC camps did tremendous things to better the community for both Black and white people,” Frank Thomas said. “Put in playgrounds, all

that stuff.”

Joan Sharpe, president of the Civilian Conservation Corps Legacy, said the segregation in the camps reflected U.S. society at the time. Still, she added, that doesn't erase the opportunities it provided for people of all races.

“The guys I've talked to that were in the CCC camps that were Black were very grateful ... to have access to education, access to vocational training, learn how to lay stone, build roads _ things they would not have had before,” said Sharpe, whose group serves and supports CCC alumni.

“I have to look at it from their perspective,” she added. “Their story and station in life would be very different than us looking back on it and saying, ‘Oh, how awful.”'

After leaving the CCC, Richardson continued his hard-working ways, according to Thomas and his cousin. He tended to his 40-acre (16-hectare) farm in Manistee County and did odd jobs such as cutting logs and hauling pulpwood to a paper mill.

Local legend has it that he once lifted a Model A for someone with a flat tire and once attached a plow to himself to take over for a stubborn horse. He died in 1959 at age 65.

Frank Thomas, 79, believes “Big Jim” served “as a big ambassador for Black people,” and can still be for people who see his picture and hear his story.

“You'd think of a man that size he would be aggressive, but I never heard tell or saw any indication of that,” he said. “That goes long way in race relations and community relations.”

Sacramento has agreed to reform its policing practices and pay a Black man $550,000 after an officer threw him to the ground over a jaywalking allegation last year and repeatedly punched him in the face, his lawyers said Friday.

The settlement in a U.S. civil rights lawsuit comes as the Police Department in California's capital city has faced intense scrutiny and a series of protests after two officers fatally shot Stephon Clark, a 22-year-old unarmed Black man, in his grandmother's backyard last month.

Police Chief Daniel Hahn, who took over the department after Nandi Cain's beating was captured on video a year ago, has promised to review the department's use-of-force policies following Clark's death.

The city agreed to update those policies as part of Cain's settlement, said his attorney, John Burris.

Mayor Darrell Steinberg's office would not confirm whether Sacramento agreed to changing use-of-force policies for officers or other the details of the settlement until both sides have signed it. Police deferred comment to the city.

“Our city is fully committed to transparency and changing training, protocols and procedures to make sure these unacceptable incidents don't occur,” the mayor said in a statement Friday.

Cain, whose lawyers say he has signed the deal and plan to send it to the city soon, alleged that he was targeted because of his race when an officer pulled over and accused him of jaywalking on a residential street. Cain said Officer Anthony Figueroa threw him down when he argued.

Video of the confrontation filmed by a bystander was widely viewed online and generated outrage across the U.S. That video and footage from a police cruiser dashboard camera show Cain complaining that Figueroa was stopping him “for nothing” and saying, “If you were a real man, you would take your gun away and fight me like a real man.”

Cain suffered a broken nose and a concussion, said Burris, who has contested allegations that Cain was jaywalking. The settlement is aimed at preventing similar incidents in the future, the attorney said.

“If there's a commitment to it, which certainly there seems to be with this present command staff, I think it can have a very positive impact in reducing the negative contact between the community and the police,” he said.

In the settlement, Sacramento agreed not to assign Figueroa to the neighborhood where the beating occurred through at least 2019, Burris said.

The city also agreed to compare police reports and body camera footage for accuracy, as well as track jaywalking citations and post that information publicly for three years, Cain's attorneys said.

Collecting data will ensure police are complying and help shed light on problematic trends, Burris said.

The city said it would implement implicit bias and cultural immersion training, Cain's attorneys said.

Cain's lawsuit also alleged he was abused in jail. He settled that part of the suit with Sacramento County, which runs the jails, for $40,000 last fall, according to the written agreement the county provided to The Associated Press. The county did not admit liability.

Deliveries continued from page 1

council directed to enact a zone text amendment banning commercial cannabis activities and incorporate existing cannabis activities in the existing zoning code.

“The ordinance before you tonight allow delivery of medical cannabis in the city,” he said.

The ordinance has three conditions, he said, which includes the medical cannabis being delivered by a licensed medical cannabis with a delivery permit, the delivery driver must be issued a permit from the city and the cannabis must be delivered to a qualified caregiver or a patient.

The delivery driver must pass a background check, he said, and must be safe drivers with no convicted felonies or convictions related to illegal controlled substances.

“They’re not registered sex offenders and not convicted of elder abuse,” Rozell said.

Cannabis drivers must be 21 years old, he said, and the distributions

occur between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. in a locked container.

"It must directly go to the residence of the qualified caregiver or patient," he said. "The delivery person can't have more than $2,500 on their person or in the delivery vehicle."

Rozell said the driver may only have 8 ounces of cannabis in their vehicle.

He said the city has reached out to dispensaries interested in delivery, including Skunkmasters in Port Hueneme, Sespe Creek Collective and Shangri-La Care in Ojai.

"We anticipate that representatives from one or more of these dispensaries might be here tonight," he said.

Daniel Chavez Jr. asked for the dispensary issue to be clarified.

"The dispensary has to be located in the City of Oxnard," he said.

Chavez said the city needs to step up.

"The residents of Oxnard want this to happen," he said. "I feel the council is allowing their judgment to cloud this."

Steve Nash told the council that the irony is not lost on him that the city is placing more restrictions on someone delivering the product than gun owners.

"It's ridiculous," he said.

Police Chief Whitney said Rozell did a great job on the ordinance.

"We had a lot of ideas on how we were going to regulate this," Whitney said.

He said the dispensaries provided a lot of input and the city made edits based on the feedback.

Whitney added that going slow and allowing medicinal marijuana deliveries first is the way to go, rather than rushing in and making mistakes.

"The second mouse is the one who gets the cheese," he said.

Rozell said no dispensaries would be allowed in Oxnard.

Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez said she supports it.

"It is a business," she said. "Oxnard needs to get modern, and this is the first step."

Councilman Bryan MacDonald said he is amazed by the number of people who approach him and say he hates marijuana because he was a cop

for 30 years.

"I don't hate it," he said. "I tried it once in high school, and it didn't do anything for me," he said. "I don't have a problem with the medical aspect."

Councilman Bert Perello said he supports the ordinance.

"I'm glad it's here," he said.

Mayor Tim Flynn said he was influenced by a man in a wheelchair who approached the dais and showed the council a bag of medications he was taking for pain.

"At the time, he was pleading for the city to open up a dispensary," he said. "I support the go-slow approach and agree with Chief Whitney."

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by CONNIE BORREGO in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that TIMOTHY OLSON be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests the decedent's will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 3/29/2018 at 9:00 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of 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 855 238-5118 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-17-781733-AB. 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.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of 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 or visit the Internet Web site, using the file number assigned to this case 15-002760.

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. www.homesearch. com 800-758-8052 or Aztec Foreclosure Corporation (877) 257-0717 www. aztectrustee.com NPP0329201 To: TRICOUNTY SENTRY 03/29/2018, 04/05/2018, 04/12/2018 SchId:70429 AdId:23481 CustId:68 -----------SUMMONS (CITACION JUDICIAL) CASE NUMBER (Número del Caso): 16CV03195 NOTICE TO DEFENDANT (AVISO AL DEMANDADO): Stefan Hermann, an individual YOU ARE BEING SUED BY PLAINTIFF (LO ESTÁ DEMANDANDO EL DEMANDANTE): Wells Gargo Bank, N.A.

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 POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of 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.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2018

ENTERTAINMENT

Hannity Vows to Bash Kimmel Until He Apologizes to 1st Lady With late-night comedy almost uniformly opposed to President Donald Trump and political talk dominated by conservatives, Kimmel and Hannity were playing to their audiences.

By David Bauder NEW YORK—Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity is vowing to continue his attacks on ABC late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel until Kimmel apologizes for a segment in which he joked about first lady Melania Trump's accent.

T

HE dispute between the television personalities is unusually vitriolic, with Hannity calling Kimmel a “sick, twisted, creepy, perverted weirdo” during his Fox show on Friday.

Kimmel, who had no show of his own on Friday, returned fire via Twitter.

ABC officials had no immediate response to a request for comment

on Saturday.

With late-night comedy almost uniformly opposed to President Donald Trump and political talk dominated by conservatives, Kimmel and Hannity were playing to their audiences. The root of this flareup was a Kimmel segment on his Monday show in which he played a film clip of Melania Trump, who was born in Slovenia, reading to children at a White House Easter celebration

and mocked her accent.

“Dees and dat,” Kimmel repeated, with a laugh.

Kimmel turned to his show sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, and said, “you could be first lady of the United States.”

That angered Hannity, cable television's most fervent supporter of the Republican president.

Hannity's initial attack on Kimmel, calling him an “ass clown,” was enthusiastically countered by Kimmel, who said Hannity was the “whole ass circus.”

“Game on,” Hannity said on Friday.

He rolled a series of Kimmel clips, mostly from the comedian's days as a co-host of Comedy

Central's “The Man Show,” that featured segments showing Kimmel with an exaggerated fake erection, asking women to find something hidden in his pants and going up to random women in the street asking if they wanted to have sex with him. He also showed a clip of Kimmel in blackface, imitating basketball player Karl Malone.

“I don't take joy in this, but I have just had it with the unrelenting hypocrisy,” Hannity said. “It's way bigger than Sean Hannity and Jimmy Kimmel.”

Kimmel, on Twitter, thanked Hannity for a trip down memory lane. He said the idea that Hannity would call anyone a pervert while he was “slobbering over” Donald

Trump is, “to quote a fella you love very much, `sad.”'

When Trump was the Republican presidential nominee, a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape of him talking about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women emerged, and he later apologized.

Many of the insults Hannity and Kimmel traded were off-color. They needled each other for their ratings: Kimmel is third behind Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon among late-night comics, while Hannity lost his cable news ratings lead to Rachel Maddow last month.

“What you don't seem to realize is that I LOVE this,” Kimmel wrote on Twitter. “I guess that's one of my perversions.”

MLK's Grandchild Hosts Inspiring Group of Child Activists

By R.J. Nico ATLANTA—Martin Luther King Jr.'s granddaughter hosted an inspiring group of children who called on their peers Saturday to follow the civil rights leader's example and engage in community outreach.

Three days after the 50th anniversary of King's assassination, about 200 people gathered at an Atlanta event hosted by Yolanda Renee King, 9, and Maryn Rippy, 7, the great-granddaughter of King's brother, A.D. King.

Child actors Hudson Yang from ABC's “Fresh Off the Boat” and Storm Reid from the film “A Wrinkle in Time” interviewed about a dozen featured guests from across the country.

The honorees included McKenzie Walker, a 14-year-old Dallas singer who used the proceeds from her CD to help orphans; Joshua Williams, a 17-year-old who has spent years leading food drives in South Florida; and Amariyanna Copeny, a 10-year-old girl who has earned the nickname “Little Miss Flint” because

of the attention she has brought to the water crisis in her hometown of Flint, Michigan.

“Young people really have a lot of power,” said Margeaux Drucker, 12, who, along with her younger brother, teaches her peers about the lessons of the civil rights movement. “We can be the change we want to see in the world.”

A.J. Carr, 15, is an actor on Showtime's “The Chi” who two years ago founded a youth leadership and entrepreneurship organization called “Building Bosses,” in Madison, Wisconsin.

Carr challenged the audience, especially the adults, to reach out to young people who might appear lost.

“Tell them, `Hello, how are you doing? Do you need anything?'

Because that could be the only compassion they've ever felt in their life,” Carr said.

One of the audience members, Nia McKenzie, 14, of nearby East Point took a photo with Carr after the event. After hearing Carr's and the other guest's stories, McKenzie said she felt “inspired to take action.”

“He's is around my age and doing

Child actors Hudson Yang from ABC's “Fresh Off the Boat” and Storm Reid from the film “A Wrinkle in Time” interviewed about a dozen featured guests from across the country. a lot to help people in his community, so I feel like I can do that too,” McKenzie said.

Two of the civil rights icon's children, Bernice King and Martin Luther King III, also were in attendance and praised the commitment to social justice on display.

King III pointed out that high school students held an important role in spearheading the civil rights movement decades ago.

“It is exciting to see these young people not following, but leading,” King III said, citing the recent guncontrol march led by the survivors of a Florida high school shooting. “This is an interesting time: Some might say we're divided, but yet somehow we're coming together.”

Johnny Cash's Boyhood Home Among National Register Nominees LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—The boyhood home of country music icon Johnny Cash is among 18 places in Arkansas that are being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that the state review board of the Arkansas Historic Preservation

Program has approved all 18 properties under consideration.

Program spokesman Mark Christ says the board should hear back from the National Park Service within two months.

Christ says at least 98 percent of the properties nominated by the board make the National

Register, which is the official list of the nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Cash lived in the house at Dyess from the age of 3 through high school.

The structure was rejected by the National Register in February but the board was urged to resubmit the nomination.

Cecil Taylor, Pioneer of Free-jazz Movement, Dead at 89 Cecil Taylor, the visionary pianist who revolutionized jazz by launching the free-jazz movement in the late ‘50s, died last week at his home in Brooklyn.

He was 89.

Taylor's legal guardian, Adam C. Wilner, confirmed the death to The Associated Press by phone.

No more details were provided.

Taylor, born in New York on March 25, 1929, was known as one of the pioneers of the free jazz movement, and was seen as both a grounding breaking and uncompromising artist.

Taylor released his first album, “Jazz Advance,” in 1956. He was also known as a poet and would

recite his poems at live shows.

“Cecil had a magical touch on the keys and was a genius at the arts. He lives on through his uncanny ability to express his music and poetry in various forms of beauty, pain, injustice and peace,” Wilner said in a statement to the AP. “He will always be remembered in the history of Jazz for his free-form improvisational notes. He will be missed by his family, friends and fellow musicians.”

Taylor returned to the stage in 2016 in New York City after years away, using a cane and holding his assistant's arm. He received a standing ovation.
