NTERIM City Manager Scott Whitney said the city of Ventura is approximately half the size of Oxnard but has the same number of employees within its building department.

“They have five more planners than we have in Oxnard,” he said.

He said Cultural and Community Services include lifelong living, Recreation, Community Outreach and Engagement, and Youth Leadership and Development.

“This is Ingrid Hardy, we hired her and put the PAC (Performing Arts Center), the library and the Carnegie under her to coordinate that,” Whitney said. “Ingrid is doing a good job, but the reality is we stretch our money here as well.”

He said the Oxnard Library services budget is $3.6 million.

“Ingrid came from Santa Clarita,” he said. “They’re about the same size as us, $5.4 million, and Oxnard is $3.6 million.”

Whitney said when you look at the general fund, the first two departments that get trimmed are the recreation department and the library.

He said Santa Clarita is about

You can’t last very long having $14 million more in expenses than you bring in revenue.

Oxnard Interim City Manager Scott Whitney the same size as Oxnard, but they spent over twice as much on recreation.

Whitney said through the state controller’s office and its audits, there are corrective actions that need to be taken in the finance department.

“Some of those corrective actions are increasing the staffing,” he said. “When the recession hit us in 2008, generally what happened is the support departments got to cut back first before the operating

departments.”

He said the finance department took some of the hits.

“We have an antiquated finance system,” Whitney said. “We have two employees, and they work hard, but they pretty much do our budget process by hand.”

He pointed out that Ventura is half Oxnard’s size, but they have the same number of people working in the finance department, 32.

“This is a common theme I’ve heard several times, starting in

2015 when I became the assistant city manager,” he said. “I’ve heard it four or five times. People go into other cities and say that I’m going to go work for X city because I’m not as stressed, I have less work, I don’t have to work as many hours and I make more money.”

He said the police department has been fortunate enough to add 11 new positions.

“The police department is doing outstanding work,” he said. “You know that we’re at double-digit crime decreases.”

He said there were 16 new positions added because of Measure O, that was added in 2011.

“That allows us to do the community policing we’re doing now and the neighborhood policing teams,” he said. “Many of our residents here today are active in n Budget , see page 2

TIME magazine recently honored Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

According to a press release about the honor, “The list, now in its fifteenth year, recognizes the activism, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals.”

Waters said that she was shocked and surprised by the recognition and that she “felt very, very blessed” to receive the honor.

In a commentary about the award, “Black-ish” actor Yara Shahidi wrote that, “Congresswoman Maxine Waters of the 43rd District of California, a.k.a. Auntie Maxine, has made my generation proud to be nieces and nephews.”

Shahidi continued: “She is adored and admired by people who care about social justice and is oh so eloquent in letting the world, particularly the White men of Congress who dare test

Local Winners of Congressional Art Contest Announced Washington D.C.—Cong­ resswo­ man Julia Brownley (D-Westlake Village) announ­ced that Annie Sun, a senior at Newbury Park High School, has won the 2018 Congressional Art Competition for California’s 26th Congressional District.

“The level of artistic talent from the Ventura County high school students participating in this year’s competition is truly inspiring,” said Congresswoman Brownley.

“This is a great reminder that

the arts and creativity play a critical role in young people’s lives and their educational success. Congratulations to everyone who participated, and thank you to the families, teachers, and community members who support these talented students.”

“I’m so honored to receive this recognition,” said Sun. “I’m passionate about art because it inspires me to challenge myself and shows me that creativity is limitless.”

Sun will be flown to

Washington, D.C. where her artwork will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol complex for one year. In addition, four honorable mentions were announced: • Josh Welcher, a junior at Newbury Park High School • Trinity Alvarado, a sophomore at Adolfo Camarillo High School • Katelyn Mehner, a senior at Newbury Park High School • Kaylie Pendleton, a junior at El Camino High School The artwork of the honorable

mentions will be displayed in Brownley’s Thousand Oaks office.

Started in 1982, the nationwide Congressional Art Competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and is an opportunity to recognize and encourage student artistic talent across the country.

The competition is open to all students in grades 9-12 in California’s 26th Congressional District. The winner was selected by a panel of local judges.

Waters said that for many young people, she is one of the few lawmakers willing to step outside of the box of a traditional, non-confrontational lawmaker to speak truth to power.

And even though, she captured the attention of millions in a viral video exchange with United States Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin, Waters acknowledged that the use of the phrase “reclaiming my time” is a part of the regular order of business in Congress.

“It’s what we use when it is our time to speak and we’re being ignored by the people who are on the panel and you want to shut them down,” Waters said.

“We use it when we’re being interfered with by another member of Congress in a debate.”

Waters continued: “It was something that I used at a time when it was important for me to let Mr. Mnuchin know that he couldn’t have his way that n Waters, see page 7

Black Unemployment Rate Hit Record Low in April WASHINGTON—The unemployment rate for Black Americans fell to a record low in April, though not necessarily for positive reasons.

T

HE jobless rate for African-Americans reached 6.6 percent, the lowest level on

Labor Department records dating to 1972. Though some of them found work, many others stopped looking for a job and so weren't categorized as unemployed.

The government counts people as unemployed only if they're actively looking for work. When fewer people seek a job, the unemployment rate often declines.

Though it has improved in recent years, the unemployment rate for African-Americans remains

stubbornly higher than the rates for other racial and ethnic groups.

Among age groups, the jobless rate for teenagers fell from to 12.9 percent, the lowest level since 2000.

All told, employers added 164,000 jobs in April. The unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent, the lowest level since December 2000.

The data for demographic groups came from a survey of households that is part of the Labor Department's monthly jobs report.

Tech, Social Media Companies Lagging in Hiring Blacks WA S H I N G T O N — A f r i c a n Americans are among the top owners of mobile devices—but when it comes time to hire, tech companies aren't looking to them.

The National Urban League is highlighting this tech gap in its 2018 State of Black America report.

The new report points out

Blacks are only 5 percent of the social media and technology workforce while being the one of the largest groups for mobile device ownership. National Urban League President Marc Morial says tech companies need to make sure minorities are included in their work forces.

The report also unveils this year's Equality Index, with 100 percent being full equality with whites.

The index for Blacks was unchanged at 72.5 percent. Things improved for Hispanics, with the index reaching 79.3 percent from last year's 78.5 percent.

their neighborhood councils and know that we have police officers at every one of those neighborhood council meetings.”

He said those officers do proactive work.

“We talked about the James Q Wilson Award we won about a month ago,” he said. “That’s because of the work these officers are doing.”

He said the department had to make some budget cuts.

“We’ve been able to add some back, but essentially, if you took away the Measure O officers, we wouldn’t have inadequate staffing.”

Whitney said the water division maintains high quality, reliable water on demand.

He added that Oxnard delivers 20 million gallons of water every day used by over 44,000 rate-payers.

“We average 2.6 million gallons of recycled water each day,” he said.

One challenge, he said, is approximately 7,000 water meters that malfunction, which is a significant expense to fix.

“That’s investing in the infrastructure,” he said.

One item that was corrected, he said, was adjusting the water revenues to match the expenses.

“You can’t last very long having $14 million more in expenses than you bring in revenue,” he said. “The reason we were able to sustain that is because we've had a high fund balance. An increase in the water rates in Sept. 2017 corrected that.”

Labor in the water department, he said, sits at approximately 9 percent.

“The biggest expenses in the water division is the actual purchase,” he said.

“We purchase water from United and Calleguas.”

From there, the city adds chemicals and supplies.

“When you combine that, that is the bulk of it,” he said.

Utilities are capital intensive, he said, which means high debt that you have to pay it back.

“Our debt rating in water, we have a solid “A” rating with a stable outlook,” he said. “There is no immediate outlook to do a new rating from Standard and Poor’s, and that is going to stay stable.

We’re building up our reserves slowly.”

Whitney said the wastewater division has over 400 miles of sewer lines with 15 lift stations.

“We treat between 17 and 19 million gallons of wastewater every day,” he said.

Oxnard’s water customers extend outside Ventura County, he said, including the Ventura County Naval base, the Channel Islands beach community, the City of Port Hueneme and Las Posas Estates in the City of Camarillo.

In addition to those areas, he said

the list includes El Rio and the Nyland acres in the unincorporated areas of Ventura County.

Whitney said debt service stands out in the wastewater department.

“They have a lot more debt, compared to their operations,” he said.

“They do have higher labor expenses, compared to water.”

He said the beginning balance is $5.6 million, which is lower than you want to be.

“That beginning balance is sometimes called fund reserve or operating reserve,” he said. “It’s what you have left over in your checking account after you balance your revenues and expenditures.”

He said they are in the positive in the department, which allows them to build up reserves. Whitney said the wastewater department has a BBB rating with a negative outlook, which is the most concerning.

“That’s the last stop before you get to junk status,” he said. “We’re building reserves, which is a positive."

He said environmental resources has more than 40,000 customers including over 2,000 businesses and multi-family customers.

“We transport over 200,000 tons of waste each year to landfills and organic processing facilities,” he said. “Those organic processing facilities are going to be more and more important with those state regulations.”

He said the city takes out 400 tons of illegal dumping and bulky items from city streets and alleys.

“Our teams are very good at responding quickly,” he said.

Capital outlay is their trucks, he said, and the department is labor intensive.

He said the beginning fund balance is $14.5 million, the total revenue is $44.3 million and total expenses are $45.9 million.

In the current budget year, Whitney said the city purchased five new trucks, which added to the expenses. The ending fund balance is $12.9 million, he said, which allowed the city to spend cash on the trucks and not have to finance them. Whitney said all cities in California face challenging times.

He said the list of challenges include pension costs, increasing demand on city resources, an aging infrastructure finding sustainable sources of water, the opioid epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness issue.

“I was at a city manager’s meeting last week in Ventura County, and they were talking about their challenges, and their cities would have very comparable lists,” he said. CalPERS pension costs are crowding out essential services, he said, which is the biggest threat to fiscal sustainability in many cities.

“This is not something employees did,” he said. “Every contract was negotiated out in the open.”

Professor Sorts Fact, Fiction in Underground Railroad Tales

By Barbara Miller WASHINGTON, Pa.—Scenario No. 1: Nine escaped slaves make their way in 1856 from Clarksburg, then in Virginia, and cross the Mason-Dixon Line. Armed with tools used for cutting corn, clubs and rocks, they beat back their pursuers in Greene County and head to freedom in Canada.

Scenario No. 2: Six runaway slaves arrive at the Washington home of abolitionist Dr. Francis J. LeMoyne. Law enforcement shows up with a search warrant, but is stymied by the lady of the house, who takes to her bed faking illness to shelter the group hiding beneath the bed frame.

One of these Underground Railroad scenarios actually occurred. Can you guess which one?

Sorting fact from fiction is the mission of Washington & Jefferson College history professor Tom Mainwaring, in his book, “Abandoned Tracks,” published today by the University of Notre Dame Press.

The Underground Railroad has for decades been an intriguing topic for many people, but pinning down facts and winnowing them from legend more than 150 years after the Civil War is no easy task.

Leave it to a former reporter for the Danville (Va.) Bee to be a sleuth for truth.

Mainwaring, 66, is chairman of the history department at the

Lofts, barns, and other outbuildings provided the typical shelter for fugitives, not secret rooms or chambers.

Historian Tom Mainwaring college, where he teaches students about events that shaped the United States.

He found himself taking a familiar path for many a writer: delving into a research topic, writing an article that led to more questions and more answers, which then expanded into a book.

In 2004, Mainwaring wanted to gather some information on Underground Railroad sites in Washington County for an intersession course he was planning, and he needed some details about a particular group of escapees.

He stopped by the Washington County Historical Society, located in the historic home of Francis J. LeMoyne, a well-known abolitionist and helper of escaped slaves.

“I went to the historical society and asked to see the Washington Observer for 20 Nov. 1884,

fully expecting to be handed a newspaper clipping.... Much to my surprise, I was handed a heavy, bound volume containing (newsprint) copies of the Observer for several years. This volume, measuring two feet by three feet, was full of surprises,” he wrote.

The Underground Railroad, nearly a quarter-century after the end of the Civil War, was apparently a topic that was still controversial.

Local historian Boyd Crumrine, author of the 1884 series, wrote that he wasn't identifying several Caucasian participants lest they or their descendants be castigated.

Unlike the 19th century writers, Mainwaring breaks new ground by documenting the actions of Black Underground Railroad facilitators, noting that only a pamphlet by Howard Wallace, published in 1903, “has survived to tell the story of the Underground Railroad in Washington County from a Black perspective, and it is not mentioned in any of the local histories.”

“Typically the old county histories have largely ignored or at least not mentioned very heavily the participation of AfricanAmericans and that's one of the main threads I have tried to weave here. We're probably looking at tip of the iceberg,” he said in an interview last month.

“In many ways, this dialogue about slavery is something that continues. It's in many ways a dialogue about race relations.”

NEWS Wells Fargo Commits to $60 Billion in Lending for Black Homebuyers

By Stacy M. Brown Wells Fargo’s $60 billion pledge to African American homebuyers is a major part of the company’s dedication to a community that’s grown accustomed to being shut out from having a slice of the American Dream.

I

N addition to the $60 billion in lending for home purchases, the company committed to increasing the diversity of its sales team and providing $15 million toward initiatives focused on homebuyer education and counseling.

“Homeownership is vitally important, because homes are the building blocks of the American Dream and a proven, sustainable vehicle for building individual and family wealth that can be passed down from generation to generation,” said Cerita Battles, the senior vice president and head of retail diverse segments for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

Battles continued: “Homes make up our neighborhoods and our communities and are a stabilizing force for families, making homeownership a key driver of our nation’s economic and cultural well-being.”

With that understanding, bank officials know that their commitment and helpful information to those interested in becoming homeowners must be communicated to the African American community.

To that end, sharing news through the Black Press is also important for Wells Fargo, Battles said.

“Being present in the communities we serve is one of our key strategies for reaching our goals and African American newspapers are a trusted vehicle for news and information in those communities,” Battles said.

“So, having information about being a homeowner and sustaining homeownership is critical to reaching the goals of the commitment and helping more African American families become homeowners.”

Housing experts have said that it’s important for aspiring homeowners to have as much knowledge as possible about the homeownership process; that information helps to dispel myths that many African Americans have

about homeownership.

“There are many myths that cause a lot of potential African American homebuyers to assume that getting a home mortgage is something beyond their reach. But many times, this is completely untrue, and that message needs to get out,” Battles said. “African Americans need to have the confidence and knowledge to recognize that they can be homeowners, and that a lender, like Wells Fargo, truly wants to help them meet their home-financing needs. The Black Press, and other media for that matter, helps us share these messages to those who desire to obtain and sustain homeownership.”

Battles noted that it’s also important

to remember that Wells Fargo’s African American homeownership commitment is not a separate loan program, but an effort by the company to increase homeowners in the community. Any of the programs, products, and services that Wells Fargo offers are available to all customers who qualify.

She said it’s not really about what the bank is doing differently for African Americans, but more about how Wells Fargo is showing up for them.

“It’s more about getting the messages to them, meeting them where, when, and how they want to interact with us so that we can

leverage all that we have to offer. It’s about education, counseling, and being present in their communities,” Battles said.

Wells Fargo’s commitment to the African American community extends beyond the homeownership commitment. In 2016, the company committed to offering $75 million in grants and lending to help diverseowned small businesses access capital and technical assistance by the end of 2020.

“In fact, by the end of 2016, the Wells Fargo Works for Small Business: Diverse Community Capital program had distributed $38 million in grants and lending capital to 30 Community Development Financial Institutions serving diverse, small businesses, placing us more than halfway to our goal,” Battles said.

Battles said that even though the goals of the homeownership commitment are challenging, Wells Fargo is committed to doing what it takes to help increase African American homeowners.

“This commitment is not a sprint, but a long journey that will require the focus of our team and collaboration with industry influencers, nonprofits and other organizations,” Battles said.

“If this were just a public relations campaign, we would not have made the goals so lofty.”

“Making this commitment holds us accountable to ourselves, our customers, our communities, and the organizations that joined us in this effort; by pushing ourselves, stretching ourselves, and then delivering on our commitments in a responsible manner, we are ensuring true meaningful progress for AfricanAmerican homeownership across America.”

OPED

Dr. James Cone

By Dr. Marian Wright Edelman “The lynching tree interprets the cross. It keeps the cross out of the hands of those who are dominant.

Nobody who is lynching anybody can understand the cross. That’s why it’s so important to place the cross and the lynching tree together, because the cross, or the crucifixion, was analogous to a first-century lynching.

In fact, biblical scholars, when they want to describe what was happening to Jesus, many of them say it was a lynching.

“And all I want to suggest is, if American Christians say they want to identify with that cross, they have to see the cross as a lynching. Any time your empathy, your solidarity, is with the little people, you’re with the cross. If you identify with the lynchers, then, no, you can’t understand what’s happening…Power in the powerless is not something that we are accustomed to listening to and understanding. It’s not a part of our historical experience. America always wants to think it’s going to win everything. Well, Black people have a history in which we didn’t win. We did not win. See, our resistance is a resistance against the odds. That’s why we can understand the cross.”

Dr. James Cone The Rev. Dr. James Cone passed away on April 28, two days after the opening of the Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama created by the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI), which remembers victims of lynching and racial terror in America who were at the core of Dr. Cone’s teachings.

James Cone, the founder of Black liberation theology, was an ordained elder in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church; a distinguished professor of systematic theology at Union Theological Seminary where he taught for nearly 50 years; and a tireless crusader

against racial terrorism and other forms of injustice including mass incarceration beginning with what the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) calls America’s Cradle to Prison Pipeline® crisis. He authored a dozen groundbreaking, history making, and movement shaping books.

They include Black Theology and Black Power, A Black Theology of Liberation and God of the Oppressed.

Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, he pulled the academy and theology into the struggles against oppression in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement.

As a theologian his central message was that the God of the gospels must be understood as a God of the oppressed who is most concerned with the poorest and most vulnerable members of society—a message with radical implications for American Christianity and all faiths and for our nation and world.

We were blessed with his presence at CDF-Haley Farm’s Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry four years ago. The quote at the beginning of the column is from an interview Dr. Cone gave four years before the release of The Cross and the Lynching Tree, a book he told us he had been writing his entire life and would not finish until he drew his last breath. Every July the Proctor Institute brings together “Great Preachers and Great Teachers” like Dr. Cone with clergy, seminarians, religious educators, community organizers, young adult leaders and a range of faith-based advocates in an intergenerational, interracial, multi-ethnic, ecumenical community pursuing justice for our nation’s children. In 2014 he taught two Theology and Child Advocacy Bible study sessions and shared how his beliefs were shaped: “I left graduate school during

the high water mark of the Civil Rights Movement and the rise of Black Power in the 1960s. I was a theologian obsessed with civil rights and Black Power, since both of these movements helped me to see that God is found in the midst of the oppressed, fighting for dignity, justice, and respect…The heart of the Christian faith is the cross of Jesus, the one who shed his blood as a crucified victim in Jerusalem…

No one can understand this Jesus… without seeing Jesus through the experiences of crucified peoples today. No people can understand the transforming power of Jesus except through the solidarity with the poor and the wretched among them,” adding: “God is always found where we least expect to find God, like in a manger in Bethlehem, on the cross in Jerusalem, or hanging from a lynching tree in America.”

The Cross and the Lynching Tree, he said, “is my prayer, my invocation to God, on behalf of Black people, in the hope that the nearly four centuries of Black suffering will be redemptive for our children and grandchildren, revealing to them the beauty in their tragic path, and also empowering

them to continue to fight, to resist the violence of White supremacy. It is also my hope that Whites, too, will be redeemed from their blindness, and made to open their eyes to the terror of their deeds, so they will know that we are all of one blood, and what we do to others we do to ourselves.” He continued: “Literally and symbolically, biologically, and spiritually, Blacks and Whites and others are brothers and sisters. We need to start acting like that…Let us hope that we, through God’s grace and our struggle, we will be able to overcome our prejudices and hate that separate us, and thereby empower us to become the one people God created us to be.”

The new lynching memorial and museum created by EJI led by the wonderful Bryan Stevenson remind us of progress made and how far our nation must still go to acknowledge, understand, and end the ugly legacy of the lynching tree in America which has morphed into new forms including police killings and massive gun deaths enabled by the insane proliferation of guns in civilian hands no other nation permits. It is indefensible that there have been 16 times more Black children and teens killed by guns than all the recorded lynchings of Black people from 1877-1950. Let’s hope the horrible truth about our history enables us to hear Dr. Cone’s message and repent. Only then can we become the one nation under God we profess to want to be. Dr. Cone said that must happen before we can be historically, culturally, and spiritually free. He never lost hope or stopped struggling and neither must we.

Racial Mortgage Disparities Persist as Federal Housing Enforcement Lags

By Charlene Crowell In the classic movie film, “Gone with the Wind,” the owner of the Tara plantation admonished his daughter for remarking that she didn’t care about her home. In a sharp rebuke, Gerald O-Hara declared that “land was the only thing worth living for, worth fighting for…worth dying for.”

For the fictional O’Hara family, Tara was their home, and the source of the family’s wealth. Fast forward to the 21st Century, having a home remains a rock-solid route to building wealth that grows and becomes a key opportunity to share that same wealth inter-generationally.

Unless you are among those who have been denied your own American Dream.

New research by the Center for Responsible Lending finds that today’s racial wealth gaps were supported and sustained by the federal government’s Fair Housing Administration (FHA).

From the program’s inception during the 1930s, FHA perpetuated racial discrimination by making mortgage credit broadly available to white borrowers and at the same time, excluding Blacks and other people of color.

More importantly, FHA has an important role to play in leveling today’s mortgage finance field and its two-tiered system.

“These homeownership rate disparities did not occur by chance,” argue Peter Smith and Melissa Stegman, authors of Repairing a twotiered system: The critical but complex role of FHA. “The homeownership rate gap between whites and people of color is in large part due to historic

federal housing policy choices that created decades-long impacts.”

CRL, however, credits FHA mortgage lending as an important aid to the nation’s economic recovery following the Great Recession. As much of private mortgage lending retreated during the housing crisis, FHA increased its purchase market share to 42 percent in 2009. Prior to that economic crisis, FHA’s market share was only 8.8 percent of the market.

FHA also sustained the mortgage market and provided broad liquidity for wealthier borrowers in addition to low-to-moderate income families.

FHA’s refinancing of toxic subprime loans saved many family homes from foreclosure and became a sustainable alternative.

Today, with much of the mortgage market recovered, unnecessarily tight and expensive credit in the conventional mortgage market often makes FHA the only option to finance homeownership for low- to moderate-income borrowers, lowerwealth borrowers, and borrowers of color. This single-option also means

that borrowers broadly denied the lower-cost, most-affordable private loans available, have a slower rate of home appreciation due to fees and insurance that accompany government-backed loans.

CRL’s analysis of mortgage data from 2004 to 2016 found that: • The FHA market share for Black and Latino borrowers now approaches half of all purchase mortgage lending to these borrowers; • FHA is the major source of mortgage credit for higher-income Black and Latino borrows as compared to conventional lending; • Tight and expensive credit in the conventional market has led to FHA becoming the only mortgage option for many borrowers of color, low-tomoderate income families, and lowerwealth families.

• Of the top 10 FHA home purchase lenders in 2004, five were banks and five were non-depositories; by 2016, eight of the top 10 FHA lenders were non-depositories.

It is important to note that the withdrawal of banks leaving the FHA insured program, comes at a time of

record profits, made possible in large by taxpayer dollars that provided a financial bailout of failing financial institutions, during the housing collapse.

These lenders exit the program at a time when it is inadequately funded and lacks up-to-date technology that could enhance its administrative functions. Further, the exit of large banks additionally became a gateway for non-depository institutions to fill the market’s gap. Nonbanks, subject to fair lending protections, are not however included in the Community Reinvestment Act. Many of the financial abuses that led to the housing crisis began with unregulated and nonbank lenders.

Many lenders will argue that the retreat from FHA was caused by actions taken by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice under the False Claims Act. This federal law allows the government to hold companies accountable for making “false claims” to the government about their products or services.

Beyond being assessed damages for infractions, enforcement of the law can additionally include a company or representative being banned from future federal funds or contracts.

State attorneys general would counter this lender claim by pointing to the $25 billion national mortgage settlement reached with five of the nation’s largest mortgage servicers as evidence that lenders engaged in egregious conduct in clear violation of the law.

The significance of major banks withdrawing from the mortgage market is further underscored by

other findings shared in a related report by the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA): • Since 1988, close to $1 billion in victim compensation has resulted from lawsuits alleging redlining and discrimination by mortgage lenders; • Housing discrimination complaints grew from 2016 to 2017’s 28,843 cases; • Of 2017’s discriminatory housing complaints, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) processed less than five percent, or 1,311; and • Among the 6,896 complaints processed by state and local Fair Housing Assistance Program Agencies, the Department of Justice brought only 41 cases.

Commenting on these findings, Lisa Rice, NFHA President and CEO said, “As the 2018 Trends Report shows, we must put an end to the many institutionalized barriers that prevent too many families in this country from fair access to housing.

We cannot build a thriving society as long as our nation is plagued by discrimination, segregation, and severe economic inequality.”

“In the year that marks a half century of the Fair Housing Act,” noted Mike Calhoun, CRL President, “it is appropriate to acknowledge the journey traveled in five decades. But also, a look ahead to the hundreds of miles yet to travel before fair housing is a reality for all.”

OPED The Big Payback: Let’s ‘Takeover The Polls’

Black Voters Must “Takeover The Polls” This Midterm Election Season

By Jeffrey L. Boney If there ever was a time that Black people needed to fully understand the power of their Black dollar, as well as the need to emphasize the importance of putting their money where their true influence is, that time is now. The upcoming November 2018 elections are by far one of the most important election cycles in the history of the United States. More importantly, it is one that the Black community can’t afford to ignore.

African Americans make up roughly 13 percent of the overall population in the U.S., and have a buying power so strong that it can’t be overlooked. While having a strong and consistent buying power in itself is a powerful asset for any group to have, turning that asset into a long-term money maker and wealth generation tool is the only thing that will strengthen the overall position and status of African Americans in this country, especially in the area of politics.

With this November election right around the corner, it is a prime opportunity for Black people to realize their true collective power by joining in with one another to create one of the most important movements of this era. It is time for Black people to “Takeover The Polls” in every local, county, state and federal election in this country.

Yes! It is time for Black people to “Takeover The Polls” by any means necessary. This can only be accomplished by championing a concerted effort to register Black nonvoters and by encouraging existing, registered Black voters to get out and vote.

One of the leading voices in the Black community is aggressively mounting a push towards registering new voters and increasing voter turnout in the Black community, beginning with the midterm elections and establishing a solid foundation that goes well beyond November.

The National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), which is a trade group that represents over 200 Blackowned media companies across the U.S., recently launched an initiative to register 5 million new, Black voters before the midterm elections. This effort is a bold step that is sure to make a profound impact come November.

Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jr., the president and CEO of the NNPA, is championing this bold initiative on behalf of a storied organization that

is the largest and most influential Black-owned media resource in America, reaching more than 20 million readers, combined, in print and online, every week.

In addition to working with the publications within the NNPA, the campaign initiative will focus on an aggressive voter registration drive, community-level education on important issues, and a mobilization effort, which are all designed to reach young, Black eligible voters, particularly in battleground states, like Texas and North Carolina.

“This coming November, the 2018 midterm elections will be one of the most important elections for American Americans in our lifetime,” Dr. Chavis said. “This is about voting rights and the enormous suffering and bloodshed that our people have experienced to make American democracy real and fair. Yet, this is also about responsibility.”

Dr. Chavis and the NNPA have also partnered with organizations like the NAACP, in order to accomplish the goal of registering these 5 million new, Black voters.

“I am proud that the NNPA is encouraging and mobilizing the Black community to get 5 million more African Americans registered to vote across the nation,” Dr. Chavis continued. “We have to takeover and overwhelm our political adversaries at the voting polls in 2018. This is a payback year! Now is the time!”

In order for African Americans to “Takeover The Polls” effectively before November, however, there are several

This coming November, the 2018 midterm elections will be one of the most important elections for American Americans in our lifetime.

Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Jr. things that must be done to make it work and get the results needed to make a significant impact.

First and foremost, education about the importance of voting is critical in order to get as many Black people registered to vote as possible, as well as help them truly understand what’s at stake.

Secondly, political candidates must ensure that Black people become more familiar with who they are, which can only be done by effectively advertising in Black media outlets, like the Black newspapers, in their respective geographic locations.

Lastly, more accountability must be placed on the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party must do more, at every level, to cultivate and show appreciation for their loyal base of Black voters, if they want to truly see change during the midterm elections.

According to the Pew Research Center, 87 percent of Black voters

identify with the Democratic Party or lean Democratic, compared with just 7 percent who identify as Republican or lean Republican. Black women are a driving force behind this high percentage of Black registered voters, and when they turnout, they make a huge difference.

Take the recent Alabama Senate race for example.

When Alabama Democrat Doug Jones faced a challenging, uphill battle against controversial Republican candidate Roy Moore in their special Senate election, it was Black voter turnout that made the difference.

As a matter of fact, “Black voters turned out for the special election [in Alabama] at a higher level than their share of the electorate when Obama was on the ballot in 2008 and 2012,” according to CNN.com.

After getting reports that 96 percent of Black voters backed Jones and 98 percent of Black women voters supporting Jones, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Tom Perez tweeted, "Let me be clear: We won in Alabama and Virginia because #BlackWomen led us to victory. Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party, and we can’t take that for granted. Period."

Strong, but true words from the DNC Chair, but will those words translate into true appreciation for the power of the Black vote leading up to the November midterm elections and beyond?

The need for groups like the NNPA to work collaboratively with the DNC, community leaders and

others committed to creating a political revolution, is paramount and necessary. The revolution must start now. However, it must go beyond the midterm elections and trickle down to the local, county and state races in a major way, as well.

This is just one election cycle, and while it may be one of the most important election cycles in our lifetime, the Black community must start today by aggressively educating, equipping and empowering Black youth, voting age adults and senior citizens, through information sharing and voter registration efforts to ensure their voices are heard loud and clear at the polls.

It is time for the African American community to “Takeover The Polls” this November, and beyond, by joining in with the NNPA to help register 5 million new, Black voters.

Dealing with Tuesday, the Worst Day of the Week Dr. James L. Snyder The worst day of the week for me is Monday. That means that I’m starting a new week and usually I have to start from scratch. All the things around me that annoy me, make me itchy and I have to scratch.

I cannot wait until the weekend gets here. It is the weekend where I can enjoy myself the most.

I know on Sunday, the best day of the week for me, I enjoy fellowshipping with other believers and preaching the word of God. I do not claim to be the best preacher in the world, I just love preaching.

When Sunday comes around, I have an opportunity to preach.

The rest of the week, however, is really a drag.

It was Tuesday morning and I was a little down, drinking my coffee rather slowly and the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage looked at me and said quite sternly, “What’s wrong with you?”

It is a simple question and deserves a simple answer. From my point of view, it’s not really that simple.

Tuesday is not really Monday,

which is a little better. However, Tuesday is not Wednesday either.

Tuesday is a very slow day in my week and, do not quote me here, but I think there are at least 30 hours on Tuesday. At least 30.

Probably more.

No matter what I do on Tuesday, it has nothing whatsoever to do with getting me to the weekend. Not only is this the slowest day of the week, but it is the least productive.

If I do not do very much on Monday, I can always blame the fact that it’s Monday and I am just getting started. Tuesday I can’t say that. Monday should prepare me for Tuesday and Tuesday should be the most productive day of my week.

Either, I’m not using Monday as I should or, Tuesday is just a bad day for me.

I still did not know how to answer my wife. I was so gloomy that I really did not have any way to explain why I was so gloomy.

“Why,” my wife said, “Tuesday is my favorite day of the week.”

I just looked at her in my gloomy attire, grunted and couldn’t say anything to her.

“I can get more done on Tuesday

than any day of the week,” she boasted.

I do admit she gets a lot done on Tuesday, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with me. She is the most talented multitasker I have ever known. She can handle up to a dozen projects simultaneously. Get her going, and she does not know how to stop.

If I had her talent, I could conquer the world. However, after all, it’s only Tuesday and I was a little gloomy.

On Monday, I can say I worked hard over the weekend and deserve to take a little bit of a rest. Nobody would worry about that not even my wife.

But Tuesday? There is no excuse I have ever made that justifies not doing something on a Tuesday, I know because I have tried everyone on my wife.

Tuesday is the dead point in my week. On Monday, for example, I can relax and just think about what I did over the weekend and how my sermon went.

I cannot do that on a Tuesday. The weekend is already over and the next weekend is far down the road. I can sit in my chair, sigh deeply and think

about how soon the weekend will get here.

It could be that as you get older your brain does not function as much as it did when you were younger. I wonder if that is a good excuse?

“Oh,” I could say to my wife, “I’m getting older now and my brain doesn’t function as it once did. I got to slow down a little bit.”

She could look at me and say, “Your brain never functioned as long as I’ve known you. It has nothing whatsoever to do with how old you are. It has everything to do with a nonfunctioning brain.”

So, I’m not going to give her an opportunity to opinionize on the functionality of my brain. My brain works enough to know that I better let that one alone.

I have a lot of guilt on a Tuesday.

I should be doing things, but I just cannot get the focus on what I should be doing. I’m looking down the week and I vaguely see Saturday approaching. It is so far down the road I am not sure I am going to get it in time. In time for what? I don’t know.

At least on Wednesday the week is

half over. Monday means a new week has started, but Tuesday does not mean anything.

I was sitting in my chair drinking some coffee when my wife comes up and saw me and asked me, “Do you have anything to do?”

Since my brain functioning was limited because of my age, I quickly responded, “No.” Before I realized what I had said, I was in deep trouble. My wife said, “Good, you can help me with some chores today.”

As she led me to the garage, I thought of the Scripture, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

The weekend cannot come soon enough for me!

HEALTH

Raiders' Hurst Happy to Turn Focus from Heart to Football

By Josh Dubow ALAMEDA—After months of questions about the health of his heart sent him tumbling down the draft board until being taken by the Oakland Raiders in the fifth round, Maurice Hurst was happy to get on the practice field and turn the conversation to football.

H

URST took part in his first practice as a pro Friday when the Raiders opened their rookie minicamp with three promising pass rushers they hope can bolster their defense.

“Just trying to get all of that stuff behind me, try to get people to stop talking about it,” Hurst said. “You know, some sort of issue or all of those kinds of things—just try to move past that and focus on playing football and just having fun out there.”

Hurst was one of the most productive defensive players in the country last season at Michigan. He had 51/2 sacks as an interior rusher and led all nose tackles and defensive tackles with 49 total quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus.

Hurst was sent home from the combine after a heart issue was detected. Hurst said it was something he has dealt with for a long time and hadn't impacted him on the field. He said he has been cleared by doctors at Harvard and Michigan but that didn't prevent every team passing on a player projected as a first-rounder until the Raiders got him at 140th overall.

“I'm not going to answer any more health questions on Hurst,” coach Jon Gruden said. “I realize there are a lot of ghost stories out there about unnamed sources that have their opinion on why we shouldn't have drafted him. This man played at Michigan. I know the head coach there. They've looked after him carefully. We're happy to have him in any round, and I'm excited for him and I'm really excited for him

Measles Case Reported in Central California FRESNO—Health officials investigating a case of measles in central California say others may have been exposed to the disease.

Fresno County authorities say the person may have exposed others during a visit Monday to an urgent care center and to a hospital emergency room on Wednesday in Clovis.

The Fresno Bee reports Saturday that the infected individual traveled out of state, where the infection occurred.

Symptoms developed after the person returned to California.

Officials with JF Urgent Care Center and Clovis Community Medical Center are attempting to contact patients who were potentially exposed.

Measles is highly contagious.

Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and rashes.

because he's an Oakland Raider and he's a great kid. I hope you just judge him on the field. He's been cleared medically and I'll just leave it at that.”

The additions of Hurst, secondround defensive tackle P.J. Hall and third-round defensive end Arden Key give the Raiders help on a

defensive front that has ranked near the bottom of the NFL in sacks in recent years despite the presence of edge rushers Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin.

The Raiders have the second fewest sacks in the NFL the past two seasons with just 56—one more than the last-place New York Jets. Nearly two-thirds of those sacks have come from Mack (21 1/2) and Irvin (15), as the edge players have gotten almost no help from the inside rushers.

“It was a major priority,” Gruden said. “It's a commodity that's hard to find. I've heard a lot of critics have talked about the risk involved. There is risk involved with every pick.”

While Hurst faced questions about his health, Hall and Key had other concerns.

Hall had 42 sacks and 86 1/2 tackles for loss in his college career, but that came at the FCS level for Sam Houston State instead of against top-flight competition.

Gruden called Hall and Hurst the top two interior rushers in the draft, a position of major need after Oakland had just 1 1/2 sacks last year from players playing inside full-time.

Key proved himself at the highest level of college football for LSU in

“We're happy to have [Hurst] in any round … and I'm really excited for him because he's an Oakland Raider and he's a great kid.” the SEC. He had 11 sacks in 2016 and 20 overall in three seasons in college, but he has had off-field problems and checked himself into rehab last spring.

If Oakland can get production out of those three players, that should go a long way in improving a defense that has been a weakness for the team in recent years.

“We all work together,” Key said. “We have edge rushers that can get to the quarterback and the quarterback steps up. Inside guys get the sack. We have inside guys that get to the quarterback and make the quarterback roll out, the edge rushers get the sack. So we all work together.”

Democrats Using 2017 'Obamacare' Vote as Political Weapon

By Alan Fram

WASHINGTON—A year ago, Democrats sarcastically serenaded Republicans with chants of “Nah nah nah nah, hey hey, goodbye” as the GOP shoved legislation through the House scuttling the Obamacare health care law.

Now, Democrats battling to capture House and Senate control in November's elections are trying to weaponize that roll call, in which 217 Republicans voted yes. In Michigan, Arkansas and elsewhere, Democrats are hammering Republicans for voting to replace the increasingly popular statute with a bill Congress' own budget experts said would have boosted premiums and the ranks of the uninsured.

“Voters are very upset with the actions Republicans took” trying to repeal Obama's law, said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who heads Senate Democrats' campaign committee. “This is an issue that we're seeing at the top of voters' minds, and this is across all states.”

To sharpen the effect, many ads couple the health care vote with last December's passage of a GOP tax cut, which disproportionately helped businesses and wealthy Americans. A spot by a liberal group hits Rep. Mike Bishop, R-Mich., for supporting both, saying, “Representing Michigan should mean representing the middle class.”

Republican strategists offer mixed views on the issue's impact.

Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent, among only 20 Republicans who voted against the House repeal bill, said GOP candidates will be vulnerable because of the bill's impact and because President Donald Trump privately labeled the GOP measure “mean” a month after it passed.

“That ad more or less writes itself,” Dent said of the inevitable Democratic campaign spots.

Georgia Democratic hopeful Bobby Kaple, seeking the nomination for an Atlanta-area district, says “Thank God for Obamacare” in his spot showing his two young children, born premature but healthy after expensive medical bills.

In Arkansas, cancer survivor

This is an issue that we're seeing at the top of voters' minds, and this is across all states.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) Clarke Tucker says he'll “stand up to anyone who tries to take your health insurance” as he competes for the Democratic nomination for a seat surrounding Little Rock.

“Health care is on their mind every day, and I understand that,” Tucker said of area voters in an interview.

Democrats are also using the issue in their battle for the Senate, where Republican proposals to scrap Obama's law flopped last summer, dooming the effort.

Rep. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., seeking to oust GOP Sen. Dean Heller, has run an ad saying, “Repeal and replace Sen. Dean Heller” that contrasts his support for repeal legislation with his initial opposition.

In Arizona, Democratic Senate hopeful Rep. Kyrsten Sinema is highlighting her family's loss of health insurance when she was a child, saying, “I know what it's like for a family to struggle to make ends meet.”

The Democratic charge on health care represents a turnaround from recent elections. Just months after passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, Democrats lost control of the House as Republicans tapped into fears about the government's growing role in health care. Four years later, Republicans grabbed Senate control following the botched rollout of the health law's online insurance markets and some people's loss of policies that fell short of the statute's coverage requirements.

The failed GOP repeal effort helped turn the tables. A Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll last month showed people trust Democrats over Republicans for handling health care by 18 percentage points.

A Kaiser Health Tracking Poll in February showed Obama's law with a favorable rating from 54 percent of Americans, its highest score in more than 80 Kaiser surveys since the statute's enactment.

“They walked the plank on a disastrous economic agenda,” said Charlie Kelly, executive director of the House Majority PAC, which backs Democratic candidates. He said the votes underscore a narrative of: “Wait a minute, these guys are absolutely not standing with working families. They're trying to screw me on my health care.”

The most optimistic GOP strategists hope to use health care to damage Democrats by accusing them of favoring governmentfinanced health care, a top priority for 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. About a third of Senate Democrats and two-thirds of House Democrats have backed such legislation, a favorite with the party's most liberal voters, which Republicans say would prompt government decision-making about care and tax increases to finance the proposal's huge costs.

“A bigger government is not something they want to run on,” GOP pollster Jon McHenry said of Democrats.

Former Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., who once headed the House

GOP's campaign organization, said Republicans “would have owned” health care and steadily growing insurance premiums had they successfully enacted legislation.

Instead, he says, “They may or may not own the outcomes,” adding, “I don't think it's a silver bullet for Democrats.”

Democrats say they've gotten further ammunition from subsequent GOP actions. These include Trump's halt of federal subsidies that helped insurers contain some costs and his easing of restrictions on short-term insurance plans with low costs but skimpy coverage.

Last May, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the House-passed bill would have left 23 million additional people uninsured by 2026 and boosted premiums an average 20 percent this year.

Marking the vote's anniversary, the liberal Save My Care was airing a 30-second television ad in Washington, D.C., showing Trump and Republicans celebrating the House vote last May in the White House Rose Garden.

“We won't forget” appears on a black screen after newscasters intone the bill's impact, including letting insurers charge higher prices for people with pre-existing medical conditions.

NEWS Georgetown's 'Lost' Slaves Were Closer to Home Than Known

By Terrence McCoy WA S H I N G T O N — T h e search for the lost slaves began with a simple question.

Every month for two years, Richard Cellini, founder of an organization looking for descendants of the slaves sold to save Georgetown University, had updated a spreadsheet. It

showed consistent progress: More and more descendants were learning the truth—that the Jesuit priests running Georgetown had sold their ancestors in 1838 to two Louisiana plantation owners to pay university debts.

But Cellini couldn't get past a problem. Roughly a full third of the sold slaves—91 in all—were nowhere to

be found in any historical record in Louisiana. Where were they? The question led to a startling answer: The “lost Jesuit slaves,” as Cellini had taken to calling them, weren't lost at all. In fact, they'd never left Maryland.

For some reason, they had been left behind.

The revelation has ushered in the next chapter of an

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: FIRST LADIES

All of us have been complicit in not sharing this information, and every year we don't share it, we continue to be complicit.

Richard Cellini ongoing historical reckoning playing out at Georgetown University, which in 2016 offered preferential status to the descendants to atone for its role in the slave trade.

Researchers estimate there are as many as 3,000 living offspring of the 91 slaves, many of whom are sprinkled throughout Maryland, the District and Virginia. The vast majority have no idea of their relation to one of the nation's leading universities.

So the Georgetown Memory Project has set out to find them, bringing a search that had gone global back to its local origins: the counties in southern Maryland where the slaves had once worked on Jesuit plantations.

Researchers are calling unknowing descendants.

They are knocking on doors, combing through historical records and fielding emails from curious locals whose DNA tests showed a possible

relation to other descendants of Georgetown's slaves.

The truth is asymmetrical, Cellini likes to say.

Georgetown and the Jesuits have the answers. And it's up to them to find the progeny.

It won't happen the other way around.

“All of us have been complicit in not sharing this information, and every year we don't share it, we continue to be complicit,” Cellini said.

“We have an affirmative obligation to share it.”

Some had fled, having heard word of their sale, and hid in the woods while others were placed on ships bound for Louisiana. Some ran away.

One man, age 65, was left behind because he was too old. Others died between their sale and their shipment.

And for others, they never journeyed south with the rest because of the unusual conditions of the sale

agreement.

For the transaction to go through, the Georgetown priests had needed the approval of the Jesuit Superior General in Rome.

He allowed it on the condition that husbands and wives were not separated, presumably to honor the sacrament of marriage. The problem was that some slaves were married to slaves belonging to other plantation owners, or were married to freed men and women. So the Jesuits started swapping slaves with local plantation owners. Some of those who had originally been sold were left behind, while these other slaves, never actually listed in the original bill of sale and never owned by the Jesuits, were sent down to Louisiana as replacements.

The confusion over which slaves would go to Louisiana led to long delays in some cases and some slaves just remained in Maryland.

Nearly 200 years later, the only artifact that some of the families retain of this history are names plucked from another time—Cutchember, Sweeton, Yorkshire—names that at one time belonged to the prominent, white slaveowning Marylanders who had sold or donated slaves to the Jesuits.

it was my time and I intended to use it and he could not usurp it.”

Waters said that the video inspired a lot of women and showed that, even on Capitol Hill, women lawmakers must have the courage to demand respect.

Waters said that young people welcome the openness and tenacity that she displayed during that exchange with Mnuchin and in her searing criticism of President Donald Trump’s performance.

“They welcome it this is the first time they’ve seen this kind of authenticity,” Waters said. “For many of them, this is the first time they’ve seen this kind of authenticity.”

Shahidi, who also stars

in the “Black-ish” spinoff “Grown-ish,” said that Waters, says what many of us are thinking.

“She reminds us that we are worthy of any space we occupy,” Shahidi said. “In this time of sociopolitical unrest, Congresswoman Waters has been the brilliant, tenacious representative of the people that we all need.”

Shahidi added: “She’s not new to it, she’s true to it.”

Waters is one of President Trump’s most vocal critics on Capitol Hill, even calling for his impeachment. “[President Trump] has defined himself as someone who is not deserving and that should be our mantra, that should be the conversation, that should be what we talk about with our

newspapers and our radio stations…we need to speak up,” Waters said. “We have to let everyone know we don’t accept this and we don’t feel helpless like victims in all of this. We are going to resist him and we are going to fight him.”

Waters said that Black newspapers should run stories about the Trump Administration, every week, monitor digital media, especially social media, and pay attention to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Waters said that the Black Press must cover President Trump in a way that allows the average person to stay up-to-date and to understand what’s going on in the White House.

“That conversation can help people get more involved, get people excited about registering to vote and to get out to vote…and see what we have to do to change this government.”

Black millennials need to know that they can make a significant difference in the upcoming midterm elections, Water said.

“If our millennials vote, we win,” Waters said. “We can take back the House, we will keep many of our state legislature seats…if [millennials] go to the polls, we win.”

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 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.

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. 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 714-730-2727 or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp. com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 17-20211-SPCA. 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 Port Hueneme City Council introduced this Ordinance at its May 7, 2018 Regular Meeting. If adopted on May 21 2018, Ordinance No. 739 will establish a form of enforcement of the City’s ban against the use, sale or possession of fireworks within the City and thereby increase the effectiveness of policing efforts to enforce said ban, and over time reducing the excessive number of calls to the Police Department in the days before and after July 4th each year but introducing a social host element to the ban. This element makes the owner or tenant of the property where evidence establishes that an illegal use, sale or possession of fireworks occurred, and eliminating the need for an officer to personally witness the violation. The new sections will also establish a separate penalty section for violation of the ban, which did not previously exist, and in doing so establish greater penalties for such violations.

Wife: Cosby Convicted by 'Mob Justice, not Real Justice'

By Michael R. Sisak

PHILADELPHIA—Bill Cosby's wife called last week for a criminal investigation into the suburban Philadelphia prosecutor behind his sexual assault conviction, saying the case that could put the 80-yearold comedian in prison for the rest of his life was “mob justice, not real justice” and a “tragedy.”

C

AMILLE Cosby made her first comments on the verdict in a three-page statement sent to the media through a family spokesman, as institutions from Hollywood to Madison Avenue continued to wipe away the remnants of his legacy. He was expelled on Thursday from the motion picture academy and the Advertising Hall of Fame.

Camille Cosby compared her husband of 54 years, convicted a week ago on three counts of aggravated indecent assault, to Emmett Till and other Blacks mistreated by the justice system.

“Once again, an innocent person has been found guilty based on an unthinking, unquestioning, unconstitutional frenzy propagated by the media and allowed to play out in a supposed court of law,” she said.

“This is mob justice, not real justice.

This tragedy must be undone not just for Bill Cosby, but for the country.”

Camille Cosby, 74, said chief accuser Andrea Constand was a liar whose testimony about being drugged and molested at Cosby's home in January 2004 was “riddled with innumerable, dishonest contradictions.”

She echoed Cosby's lawyers, who

contended that Constand framed him to score a big payday.

Cosby is on house arrest while awaiting sentencing. His lawyers have vowed to appeal.

Her statement did not address behavior Cosby has admitted to, such as philandering and contention that he was having a consensual affair with Constand.

Constand's lawyer bristled at the statement and asked, “why would any reputable outlet publish that?”

“Twelve honorable jurors—peers of Cosby—have spoken,” lawyer Dolores Troiani said. “There is nothing else that needs to be said.”

Constand said in a tweet last week that “Truth prevails.” The jury said in a statement Monday that she was “credible and compelling.”

Prosecutors opposing a request for juror names from The Associated Press and other news media outlets urged a judge on Thursday to consider a “cooling off ” before they're disclosed. They cited a 90-day wait in the case of Casey Anthony, the Florida mother acquitted in 2011 of charges she killed her young daughter.

Camille Cosby stayed away from both of her husband's trials, except for the defense's closing arguments. She and Bill Cosby had five children— two of whom have died—and she served as his business manager.

Before the jury came in last week to hear from Cosby's lawyers, she went to the defense table and put her arm around Cosby, who is legally blind.

They embraced, smiled and chatted, and he gave her a peck on the cheek.

When it was the prosecution's turn to argue, she left the courtroom, and Constand entered.

Constand sued Cosby in 2005 when prosecutors dropped a criminal investigation after four weeks. Cosby wound up settling for nearly $3.4 million after giving four days of depositions, including testimony about giving quaaludes to women

before sex, that a juror said Monday was instrumental in his conviction.

Camille Cosby compared the dozens of other women who've accused her husband to a “lynch

mob” spurred on by the media's “frenzied, relentless demonization” of the man who earned a reputation as America's Dad playing Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the top-rated family

sitcom “The Cosby Show.”

She compared his treatment to Till, the Black teenager who was kidnapped and murdered after witnesses said he whistled at a white woman in a Mississippi grocery store in 1955, and Darryl Hunt, a Black man wrongly convicted of raping and killing a white woman in North Carolina in 1984. Constand is white.

“Someday the truth will prevail, it always does,” Camille Cosby said.

She said her husband's prosecution was politically motivated, repeating his team's contention that he had been a pawn in a heated race for district attorney.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele attacked opponent Bruce Castor in campaign ads over his decision not to charge Cosby in 2005 and announced Cosby's arrest a month after winning the November 2015 election.

She said Steele and his team were “exploitive and corrupt” and that their “primary purpose is to advance themselves professionally and economically at the expense of Mr. Cosby's life.”

“If they can do this to Mr. Cosby, they can do so to anyone,” she said.

Steele's office declined to comment.

This publication does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, as Constand has done.

Aerosmith, Anita Baker Pack ‘em in at Annual New Orleans Jazz Fest

Man in Black’s Boyhood Home Makes National Historic Register DYESS, Ark.—The Man in Black's boyhood home has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program announced Friday that the home in Dyess where country music icon Johnny Cash lived from age 3 through high school has been added to the register. Dyess is a small Arkansas town close to the Tennessee border.

The five-room farmhouse was built in 1934 as part of the Dyess Resettlement Colony by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that the house is owned by Arkansas State University, which spent $575,000 to buy, restore, furnish and landscape the property.

Cash died in 2003 at age 71 after an incredibly successful musical career. Among his many hit songs were “I Walk the Line” and “Hurt.”

NEW ORLEANS— Aerosmith drew a huge crowd and smaller but still packed crowds boogied to Cage the Elephant, Delbert McClinton and Anita Baker and a rousing mix of other musical acts as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival wound up its next-to-last day.

Once a relatively small affair, the festival now in its 49th year draws hundreds of thousands of people to a 7-day celebration of all things music, reflecting the rich diversity of a river city now celebrating its tri-centennial. There was jazz, of course, but also Cajun, zydeco, roots rock, African rhythms, Latin groups and traditional music from Canada

to the Republic of Congo.

Sweating, swaying and so packed at times that they could hardly move, the people singing along to Aerosmith's “Sweet Misery” and “Living on the Edge” had no choice but to surrender to the experience.

“There's nowhere to go, no way to get there. It's like critical density,” said Jeff Baker of Fort Collins, Colorado.

Some came with one band or genre in mind, and stayed to soak up many others.

Greg Garrison, himself an amateur musician—he plays penny whistle with the New Orleans Strathspey and Reel Society—caught the last two numbers of The East Pointers,

a Canadian Celtic band with Acadian roots, and wanted to hear more: “I've never heard sets that combine jigs and reels and Appalachian style banjo,” he said.

Garrison followed the East Pointers to the Cultural Exchange Pavilion, where the plank floor shook as people old and young, bald and tattooed, bounced and danced in time to the music.

Saturday's performers there included a group from Congo, a Latin band and a tribute to Louis Armstrong.

His daughter had headed in another direction, to get to Cage the Elephant with an hour to work through the crowd and toward the stage.

Earlier in the day, two of the grand masters of traditional jazz kicked off the heritage interviews. Clarinetist Dr. Michael White and trumpeter Gregg Stafford talked about the early days of jazz in New Orleans, and how music drew them in, even when they had other plans.

“I never aspired to become a musician,” White said. “I heard all the stereotypes. I wanted to eat; I wanted a home.”

Paying close attention was Kathy Moss, an attorney from New Orleans. “I like to listen to a lot of jazz but I'm not very educated about it,” she said. “I want to discover what's behind the music I love so much.”

Elderly Woman Settles Pageant Fall Lawsuit LOS ANGELES—A woman in her late 70s has reached a settlement of her lawsuit in which she alleged negligence by the producer of the Miss Latina Cosmopolitan pageant caused the injuries she suffered after tripping and falling to the stage floor while competing in a competition for seniors in 2016.

Attorney Luan Phan filed court papers on April 12 in Los Angeles Superior Court stating that plaintiff Ana Maria Gomez's lawsuit was resolved. No terms were divulged.

Gomez filed the personal injury suit in November 2016. She named

as defendants pageant producer Luis Valdivia and Fox Investment Co. LLC. Fox Investment operates the Los Angeles Theatre, where the fall took place.

The suit sought unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

Valdivia and Fox Investment denied any wrongdoing.

According to the lawsuit, Gomez, then 77, was invited by the pageant and Valdivia to take part in the competition on April 16, 2016. She wore a formal dress on stage and was unable to fully see the floor as she walked, the suit stated.

Gomez "was unaware that the stage floor was in disrepair and that there were several pieces of the wooden planks that were uneven and lifted up, and others that were held down by tape," her suit stated.

Gomez's shoe caught on one of the raised planks, causing her to "trip and fall hard to the stage floor," fracturing her left wrist, according to her complaint.

Gomez said her wrist swelled to the point it could not be put in a cast until several days after the fall. She also sustained contusions and bruises to other parts of her body, her suit stated.
