FIERY U.S. BISHOP BRINGS AMERICAN FLAIR TO ROYAL WEDDING

By Gregory Katz and David Rising WINDSOR, England— Nothing captured the trans-Atlantic nature of Saturday's royal wedding as much as the guest preacher whose sermon brought American fire and flair to a very English church service.

Council Approves Anti Price-Gouging Ordinance

By Chris Frost Special for the Tri County Sentry The Oxnard City Council passed an ordinance that declared prohibition on unfair pricing, price gouging, following the declaration of a state of emergency, local emergency, or state of war emergency during their May 22, meeting.

The ordinance adds definitions to the prohibition and clerical changes.

studded with quotes from the bible, Martin Luther King Jr and African-American spirituals, was a contrast to the more solemn and muted Anglican style the royal family is used to.

Many observers were surprised and delighted. BBC broadcaster Jeremy Vine tweeted: “The preacher is doing 50 in a 30 zone and it's brilliant.”

Supermodel Naomi Campbell hit Caps Lock and tweeted: “BISHOP MICHAEL CURRY GIVING ME LIFE.” Quoting civil rights King on the “redemptive power of love,” Curry told the bride and groom “it's not just for, and about, a young couple who we rejoice with, it's more than that.”

Curry, who like Markle's mother has African ancestors who were slaves in the U.S., said that even during their time of bondage, love helped those in captivity persevere.

“When love is the way, we actually treat each other, well, like

When love is the way, we actually treat each other, well, like we are actual family.

Bishop Michael Bruce Curry we are actual family,” he said in a sermon that touched on poverty, inequality and the healing power of love.

“When love is the way, we know that God is the source of us all and we are brothers and sisters, children of God and brothers and sisters,” he said. “That's a new heaven, a new earth a new world, a new human family.”

Harry and Markle exchanged a quick glance at one another at one point as Curry drifted from

his prepared remarks and ad libbed while the queen looked on stoically. Camilla and Kate— the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge—traded sidelong glances.

Queen Elizabeth II, who as monarch holds the title of Supreme Governor of the Church of England, did not show any sign of discomfort and looked as stoic as she had through the entire ceremony.

There may have been a touch of royal relief when Curry wrapped up with “We gotta get y'all married now.”

The crowds waiting outside for a glimpse of the royal couple loved it. Cheers greeted Curry as he walked uphill from the chapel along the procession route after the service. One man shouted “well done”—prompting a smile and “God bless you” from the bishop.

By Don Thompson SACRAMENTO—California's governor should allow more sensitive DNA testing that advocates say could exonerate a death row inmate, U.S. Senator Kamala Harris said last Friday.

“As a firm believer in DNA testing, I hope the governor and the state will allow for such testing in the case of Kevin Cooper,” Harris, a former state attorney general and San Francisco prosecutor who opposes the death penalty, said in a statement.

Cooper, 60, is awaiting execution for the 1983 Chino Hills hatchet and knife killings of four people. He escaped from a nearby minimumsecurity prison east of Los Angeles two days before the slayings of Doug and Peggy Ryen, their 10-year-old daughter Jessica and 11-year-old neighbor Christopher Hughes.

Two previous DNA tests concluded Cooper was the killer. A piece by New York Times' columnist Nicholas Kristof suggesting Cooper was framed sparked Harris's comments. Kristof 's column labels Harris one of the “flawed political leaders” he blames for blocking the new DNA testing while she was attorney general.

As a firm believer in DNA testing, I hope the governor and the state will allow for such testing in the case of Kevin Cooper.

Sen. Kamala Harris A San Diego judge in 2011 blocked Cooper's request for a third round of DNA testing. Cooper says he was framed and that more sensitive DNA tests on items including a T-shirt and a speck of blood on a paint chip would prove his innocence. But the judge ruled he failed to show why more DNA tests are needed.

Cooper's request for clemency is under review by Gov. Jerry Brown's office, said spokesman Evan Westrup.

Those requests “are thoroughly and diligently reviewed” and will determine the next step, he said.

California hasn't executed anyone since 2006.

The only survivor—the Ryens' grievously wounded 8-year-old son— said three white intruders committed the crimes, Kristof wrote, while a woman told police that her white convicted murderer boyfriend was probably involved and turned over his bloody coveralls. Kristof says investigators destroyed the coveralls and arrested Cooper, a young Black man, even though blond or brown hairs were found in the victims' hands.

Cooper's defense says it would pay for the new DNA testing.

DNA Research Opens Door to Match Slaves with Relatives

NAACP and Mormons Call for Racial Harmony, Civility

By Brady McCombs

By Samantha Hogan

SALT LAKE CITY—Top leaders from the NAACP and Mormon church on Thursday called for greater racial harmony and mutual respect following the first official meeting between national leaders from the civil rights organization and Utah-based religion.

The media event in Salt Lake City came ahead of a 40th anniversary celebration planned next month by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of its 1978 decision to lift a ban on Blacks in the religion's lay priesthood. The ban was rooted in the belief that Black skin was a curse, and it lingers as one of the most sensitive topics in the religion's history.

Neither NAACP President Derrick Johnson nor Mormon church President Russell M. Nelson mentioned the past ban during their brief prepared remarks.

They instead focused on highlighting the historic nature of the two institutions creating an alliance they hope can lead to work on education and humanitarian causes.

Johnson said the newly-minted alliance should be an example for others to work in harmony and with greater civility.

Nelson echoed that, calling for everyone in the world to show greater “racial and ethnic harmony” and eliminate prejudice of all kinds.

It's not exaggerating to call the meeting historic because the two organizations have in the past existed in different worlds and had different trajectories, W. Paul Reeve said, the Simmons Professor of Mormon Studies at the University of Utah. The joint statement and meeting marks another marker on the Mormon church's trajectory to being more willing to speak out forcefully against racism and white supremacy, he said.

“This is an indication they are willing to engage in racial justice for the future,” Reeve said.

Nelson didn't take questions from the media following his remarks. Johnson and other NAACP officials did take questions and were asked about the past Mormon ban on Blacks in the priesthood.

Johnson said evolving organizations must be better at addressing's today's needs. Leon W. Russell, chairman of the NAACP board of directors, spoke more directly about the ban and applauded the Mormon church's decision to celebrate the anniversary during a June 1 event in Salt Lake City with music planned.

“Any religious domination in the United States at some point had a history that included discrimination and repression of Africans in America so the recognition by this church that it needed to evolve needs to be celebrated,” Russell said.

In 2013, the Mormon church posted an essay disavowing the ban and the reasons behind it, saying it was put into place during an era of great racial divide that influenced early teachings of the church.

The 2,000-word piece was the most comprehensive explanation of why the religion had previously had barred men of African descent from the lay clergy and was lauded by many as an important step in the religion's history. Others, though, wished it had gone further and included a formal apology.

An apology didn't happen Thursday, despite a fake news release posted on a website—made to look strikingly similar to the Mormon church's newsroom website—that included a made up apology from Nelson. Church officials declined to comment on the fabricated post that briefly got traction on social media.

The religion's decision not to speak about the ban on Thursday isn't surprising, Reeve said. The religion prefers not to deal with its racial history before the ban was lifted, instead trying to turn the focus on what it is doing today to improve things.

The Utah-based religion doesn't provide ethnic or racial breakdowns of its members, but scholars say Blacks make up a small portion of the 16-million member global faith.

Among the 6.6 million Mormons in the U.S., Blacks account for about 3 percent of members, according to the

FREDERICK, Md.—Their burial place was never peaceful.

Many of the people that live there and many of the people that live [nearby] are direct descendants of European workers.

T

HE night they gathered to bury a mother and her child, they searched for nails to secure the lid to the wood coffins. They could see off in the distance, even through the black, the towering stone furnace, which glowed like a red eye. The ore pit—where they labored— sitting between them and it.

Another night they buried a young man and later his sister, or maybe it was the other way around. But like so much about the slaves of Catoctin Furnace, the details have been lost.

“It's not unusual at all for them to be lost in time,” said Elizabeth A. Comer, an archaeologist and member of the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society.

The cemetery of the enslaved workers of the iron furnace was rediscovered in 1979—116 years after Abraham Lincoln read the Emancipation Proclamation and potentially even longer since the enslaved people of Catoctin Furnace were sold or freed.

The historical society knows for sure the years slaves tried to escape the industrial site from the reward and wanted advertisements published in the newspaper. But dating when one of them died or finding a reference in a diary or ledger of when they left the area has eluded the historical society.

Instead historians have: Cranium 387-790.

Enslaved female. Age 22 to 25 years old.

“I show her cranium, because I think it's emblematic of the power that she has now as a crania, as opposed to the power she probably and—let's face it—she did not have as a human,” Comer told a crowd gathered at Thurmont Regional Library earlier this month.

Her remains and those of 34 other people were exhumed from a forested patch of earth, which had been forgotten until the construction of the northbound lanes of U.S. 15. Together, the 35 former slaves were sent to the Smithsonian Institution division of physical anthropology in the 1980s, where they are now under the care of curator Doug Owsley.

And just last month, new light was shed on who they are.

The history of the EuropeanAmerican owners and workers at the furnace is well-preserved, but the stories and lives of the Black enslaved workers have vanished.

Sometimes their lives disappeared in plain sight, as a photograph of a “mule barn” from the 19th or 20th century shows, if one only pauses to think.

“Anybody here that knows about a barn, knows that you don't put chimneys—and multiple ones at that (there are three of them in the structure)—in a barn of any sort,” Comer said.

Today, the historical society

Archaeologist Elizabeth A. Comer

believes the barn was most likely slave quarters.

“Catoctin Furnace, as it is today, preserves a European immigrant history,” Comer said. “When you drive to Catoctin Furnace, when you drive through the village, if you visit the church, if you go and visit anyone in that area—you will see that many of the people that live there and many of the people that live in Thurmont are direct descendants of European workers.”

But just a few yards from the town's Main Street, at least 35 to 40 more slaves are still buried in the cemetery.

Much of the historical society's current work is to merge the narratives of the Europeans with those of the Black enslaved people, but with no collective memory preserved in Black generations alive today and very sparse written records, that is hard to do. One of the biggest challenges has been the lack of last names, Comer said.

In one spot, a pile of head and foot stone grave markers are unceremoniously piled under a tree that overgrew the cemetery. At the time the bodies were exhumed, there wasn't an emphasis on cataloging stones and rocks, which is why they are all piled together, Comer said. The original field notes from the dig have also been lost.

Unfortunately, that now means that even if the historical society were to use modern imaging equipment to re-evaluate the surface of the stones, they would not be able to link any potential names or markings to a specific grave, she said.

“We do not have—as I said earlier—an African-American population that has come forward and said, ‘I'm part of this

landscape. I'm part of this history,”' Comer said. But research just completed on the DNA of half of the exhumed slaves may be the key to finding that link.

His name is David Reich, and from his laboratory at Harvard University, he is providing researchers a universal link: DNA. On Feb. 21, 2017, Reich traveled to Washington, D.C., and collected samples from the bones of 14 of the Catoctin Furnace slaves.

Collecting DNA from old bones is not as easy as it would be from a person who died today. The human DNA has to be carefully separated from extraneous environmental DNA from molds and other nonhuman sources, Comer said.

What is sometimes left is stretches of human DNA—the unique code that would have been passed down from parents to children for generations.

“A technological revolution has made it possible to sequence whole genomes from ancient bones, giving us an unanticipated opportunity to understand how humans are changing,” writes Reich Lab, which looks at DNA and population structure. “Ancient DNA allows us to go beyond the two-dimensional map of genetic variation based on the coordinates of latitude and longitude. Now we can extend this to a threedimensional map, adding time.”

Comer recently submitted a research proposal to the Smithsonian Institute to allow Reich Lab to collect additional ancient DNA samples from the remaining exhumed slaves, after sitting down with Reich and Owsley to discuss the future of the project. They are awaiting a response from the Smithsonian.

Reich declined through a

spokeswoman for Harvard University to be interviewed for this story pending publication of an article on the findings.

In the meantime, the Catoctin Furnace Historical Society is continuing its own work by putting together a “census of slaves” using historical records to identify family units and jobs assigned at the furnace. The research has been hampered in extending the genealogy into the future, because of the lack of last names, Comer said.

Now, with a pool of ancient DNA results, the historical society is going to load the existing genetic profiles of each of the enslaved people to 23andMe—a website and genetic testing company that analyzes people's 23 chromosomes, which store all of a person's genetic information.

There they will be able to see if the genetic code of one of the slaves matches a person living today— with the hope to connect someone to their ancestor.

When the slaves gathered to bury their dead, they would have been exhausted from a day of hard labor.

The jobs at the iron furnace were extremely dangerous. An atypical number of teenagers and young adults are buried in the slave cemetery at Catoctin Furnace, Comer said. Even in the 18th or 19th century, if a person made it through the first year of life, or to the age of 5, then their chances of living through adulthood were high.

Yet the people buried in the cemetery show signs of being worked overly hard for long periods of time. It was possible they were worked so hard that when a disease hit they did not have have the reserves to fight off the infection, she said.

Several of the bodies also show signs of rickets—a condition of soft or weak bones—which could be caused by diet and would have lifelong effects.

One young woman stands out, because her spine is compressed in a way that is usually found only in elderly people, Comer said.

Her spine is yet another sign of years of hard labor. Currently, the historical society is researching if the enslaved people at Catoctin Furnace may in fact have been worked to death.

Despite all their findings, the biggest question remains: Who were they?

And, for now, that is still unclear.

Trump Urges Congress to Overhaul Nation's Prison System

By Ken Thomas WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Friday urged Congress to overhaul the nation's prison system and help more former inmates re-enter society, hoping to jump-start legislation that's facing fresh opposition from Democrats.

T

RUMP said at a White House forum that a prison overhaul “unites people from across the political spectrum” and that lawmakers need to “work out their differences, get a bill to my desk—I will sign it.”

“It's going to be strong, it's going to be good, it's going to be what everybody wants,” Trump said, pointing to bipartisan support for the changes. “You're all in line, I think. You're all looking for the same thing.”

But five influential Democrats have announced their opposition to a House bill supported by the White House, saying the approach would “be a step backward” because it is flawed and doesn't cover changes to federal sentencing guidelines.

Their opposition raises questions about whether the bill could pass in a Congress run by Republicans, who hold a slim Senate majority.

The White House has expressed hopes of winning approval ahead of the fall elections.

Trump has pushed for a plan that focuses on helping facilitate released prisoners' re-entry into society, as well as better developing their skills in prison

and improving rehabilitation services.

The president convened a group of governors, faith-based leaders and experts in January to talk about finding ways of bringing job training, mentoring and drug addiction treatment to the nation's prison population.

A bill pushed by Reps. Doug Collins, R-Ga., and Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., cleared the House Judiciary Committee last week and may be considered by the full House as early as next week.

But some Democrats, along with influential groups such as the NAACP and ACLU, want the bill to include changes to sentencing guidelines, which Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have opposed.

It's going to be strong, it's going to be good, it's going to be what everybody wants.

President Trump In a letter released last week, the Democrats said the bill would exclude too many people who are incarcerated, provide inadequate money for the plan and fail to reduce recidivism. It was signed

by Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Cory Booker of New Jersey and

Kamala Harris of California along with Reps. John Lewis of Georgia and Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas.

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-inlaw and senior adviser, has led the White House efforts to develop the criminal justice policy, including changes to the prison system.

During Friday's event, Kushner said he “had personal experience with” the issue. That was a reference to his father, Charles Kushner, who served a year in federal prison for illegal political contributions and tax evasion.

“The single biggest thing that we want to do is really define what the purpose of a prison is,” Kushner said. “Is the purpose to punish, is the purpose to warehouse or is the purpose to rehabilitate?”

Royal Wedding continued from page 1

Miliband, an atheist, tweeted: “Rev Michael Curry could almost make me a believer.”

The Episcopal Church is an offshoot of the Church of England in the United States and has been the spiritual home of many of the American founding fathers and U.S. presidents.

Even though its support for gay marriage has recently caused friction with the greater Anglican Communion, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said ahead of the ceremony that he was “thrilled” Curry would be speaking there, calling him a “stunning preacher.”

Curry, 65, who is married and has two grown daughters, was born in Chicago and raised in Buffalo, New York. He began his ministry in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and also served as rector in Lincoln Heights, Ohio and Baltimore, Maryland.

Selecting him to give the sermon was one of several personal touches Harry and Meghan put on the service, held in the 15th century St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Markle, who attended a Roman Catholic school, was baptized in March into the Church of England in preparation for the wedding and joining the royal family.

The ceremony was based on Common Worship—the most modern of several Church of England service options—and included prayers and hymns, as well as readings and musical selections chosen by the couple and their families.

That included a fusion of American and British elements, including by Londonbased gospel ensemble the Kingdom Choir's renditions of Ben. E. King's “Stand By Me” and Etta James' “Amen/This Little Light of Mine.”

Teenage cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason wowed the 600 guests with works including Franz Schubert's “Ave Maria.” The cellist won the BBC's Young Musician of the Year contest in 2016, the first Black musician to do so.

For all the individual touches, the service was dominated by tradition.

The pair read the Church of England wedding vows, promising to have and to hold, “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.”

Then the archbishop pronounced them husband and wife.

“Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder,” he said.

He Just Wanted a Burger: Civil Rights Pioneer Made History

By Jay Reeves MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Bruce Boynton is a civil rights pioneer most people have never heard of.

History books tell the story of his lawyer Thurgood Marshall, the first Black U.S. Supreme Court justice, and Rosa Parks, who wouldn't give up her bus seat to a white man. Many even recall Boynton's mother, Amelia Boynton Robinson, who was savagely beaten while demonstrating for voting rights in 1965 and was honored by then-President Barack Obama 50 years later.

Yet Boynton is largely unknown, a historic figure seemingly forgotten by history. Admirers are trying to change that.

A Black man arrested 60 years ago for entering the white part of a racially segregated bus station in Virginia, Boynton started a chain reaction that helped kill Jim Crow laws in the South. Boynton contested his conviction, and his appeal resulted in a Supreme Court decision that helped inspire the landmark “Freedom Rides” of 1961.

For all that and more, he will be honored Friday in Montgomery.

“His life is a teaching lesson for all of us about how we can make a difference,” said U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson, who helped organize the event. “All he wanted was a cheeseburger, and he changed the course of history.”

Now 80 and in frail health, Boynton is pleased to have accolades coming his way.

“I am very happy that at this

stage of my life that there is this type of recognition,” Boynton said during an interview earlier this month at his home in his native Selma.

Boynton was attending law school at Howard University in Washington, D.C., when he boarded a Trailways bus bound for Alabama in 1958. Public facilities including bus stations were separated by race across the South at the time, despite federal laws banning segregation in interstate travel.

The bus pulled in to a station in Richmond, Virginia, for a break, and Boynton went inside to eat. Seeing that the part of the restaurant meant for Blacks had water on the floor and looked “very unsanitary,” Boynton said he sat down in the “clinically clean” white area. He told the waitress he'd have

I am very happy that at this stage of my life that there is this type of recognition.

Civil Rights pioneer Bruce Boynton a cheeseburger and tea, he said.

“She left and came back with the manager. The manager poked his finger in my face and said ‘Nigger, move,”' said Boynton, whose mother and father were both early civil rights activists. “And I knew that I would not move and I refused to, and that was the case.”

Convicted of trespassing, Boynton appealed and his case wound up before the Supreme

Court with Marshall, then the nation's leading civil rights attorney, as his counsel.

In a 7-2 decision with the majority written by Justice Hugo Black, an Alabama native who had once been in the Ku Klux Klan, the court ruled in 1960 that federal discrimination prohibitions barring segregation on interstate buses also applied to bus stations and other facilities linked to interstate travel. The next year, dozens of Black and white students set out on buses to travel the South and test whether the law was being followed.

The “Freedom Riders” were arrested or attacked in Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina, and a bus was burned. ThenPresident John F. Kennedy ordered stricter enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws.

Boynton's act of defiance was

a catalyst for the entire episode, but he didn't get much credit, said Thompson, who in 1980 became the second Black federal judge to serve in Alabama.

“I think you can clearly say that he pretty much led to the Freedom Rides movement, but he'd never been acknowledged,” said the judge. Now is the time to recognize Boynton, Thompson said.

Boynton paid a price for what he did.

Back home in Alabama following law school, Boynton wasn't able to get a law license even though he attempted to keep a low profile. “I didn't try to give any publicity to the case at the very beginning,” he said.

Boynton moved to Tennessee to practice law and finally was admitted to the Alabama bar in 1966. He spent most of his career as a civil rights attorney before retirement.

The ceremony for Boynton will be held in Thompson's courtroom, which previously was used by the late U.S. Circuit Judge Frank M. Johnson Jr., who issued some of the most important decisions of the civil rights era. Boynton will speak about his life, Thompson said, and the talk will be recorded on video for historical archives.

Thompson said he most wants to hear why Boynton refused to leave that whites-only restaurant in 1958.

“He did something that very few people would have the courage to do. He said no,” said Thompson.

“To me he's on a par with Rosa Parks.”

OPED Help Us Keep Dr. King’s Promise

By Marian Wright Edelman “In a few weeks . . . we are coming to Washington in a Poor People’s Campaign. Yes, we are going to bring the tired, the poor, the huddled masses.

We are going to bring those who have known long years of hurt and neglect. We are going to bring those who have come to feel that life is a long and desolate corridor with no exit signs. We are going to bring children and adults and old people, people who have never seen a doctor or a dentist in their lives.

We are not coming to engage in any histrionic gesture. We are not coming to tear up Washington. We are coming to demand that the government address itself to the problem of poverty. We read one day, ‘We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.’ But if a man doesn’t have a job or an income, he has neither life nor liberty nor the possibility for the pursuit of happiness. He merely exists.

We are coming to ask America to be true to the huge promissory note that it signed years ago. And we are coming to engage in dramatic nonviolent action, to call attention to the gulf between

--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in his last Sunday sermon at Washington’s National Cathedral, March 31, 1968 As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the mule trains making their way from Marks, Mississippi to Resurrection City and the Poor People’s Campaign, we must honor Dr. King’s impassioned plea for America to “help bridge the gulf between the haves and have nots.”

God, help us to end poverty

in our time.

The poverty of having a child with too little to eat and no place to sleep, no air, sunlight and space to breathe, bask, and grow.

The poverty of watching your child suffer hunger or get sicker and sicker and not knowing what to do or how to get help because you don’t have another dime or a car, money, or health insurance.

The poverty of working your fingers to the bone every day taking care of somebody else’s children and neglecting your own, and still not being able to pay your bills.

The poverty of having a

job which does not let you afford a stable place to live and being terrified you’ll become homeless and lose your children to foster care.

The poverty of losing your job, running out of unemployment benefits, and having no other help in sight.

The poverty of working all your life caring for your own children and having to start all over again caring for the grandchildren you love.

The poverty of earning a college degree, having children, opening a day care center, and taking home $300 a week—or a month—if you’re lucky.

The poverty of loneliness

and isolation and alienation— having no one to call or visit, tell you where to get help, assist you in getting it, or care if you’re living or dead.

The poverty of having too much and sharing too little and having the burden of nothing to carry.

The poverty of convenient blindness and deafness and indifference to others.

The poverty of low aim and paltry purpose, of weak will and tiny vision, of big meetings and small actions, of loud talk and sullen grudging service.

The poverty of believing in nothing, standing for nothing, sharing nothing, sacrificing nothing, struggling with others for nothing.

The poverty of pride and ingratitude for God’s gifts of life and children and family and freedom and home and country and not wanting for others what you want for yourself.

The poverty of greed for

more and more and more, ignoring, blaming, and exploiting the needy, and taking from the weak to please the strong.

The poverty of addiction to more and more things, drugs, drink, work, self, violence, power, fleeting fame, and an unjust status quo.

The poverty of fear which keeps you from doing the thing you think is right.

The poverty of convenient ignorance about the needs of those around you and of despair and cynicism.

God help us end poverty in our time, in all its faces and places, young and old, rural, urban, suburban and small town too, and in every color of humans You have made everywhere.

God help us to end poverty in our time in all its guises— inside and out—physical and spiritual, so that all our and Your children may live the lives that you intend.

Closing the STEAM Gender Gap Requires Early Education

By Rajoielle Register We’re all familiar with the popular proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” As a 21st century society, this still holds true, literally and figuratively. For nonmillennials, who grew up in a vastly different era, there is a nostalgic mindset that a diverse community of inspiring people interacting with children has a positive and sustained life-changing impact on their development. By no means should this mean the village is responsible for raising your children, but we all have a stake in their development and success.

Early exposure to career choices are often the first step in the “What do I want to be when I grow up?” conversation. Although definitive decisions won't be made for years to come, dreams and thoughts about future careers begin early. Whether policeman, fireman, truck driver, doctor, dentist, teacher, musician, sports star, and/or whatever it is their parents and relatives do, most children are passively aware and relate to the limited pool of occupations to which they are exposed.

While teachers offer an impressionable climate for firsthand learnings and experiences, parents provide the most important impact and stimulus on a child's early life. Early exposure to nontraditional learning environments not only creates a generation of new dreamers and thought leaders, but also provides them with an eyeopening and novel perspective on the limitless opportunities that is their future.

From elementary to middle school, efforts to prepare students for college and beyond are taking hold earlier than ever as a childhood surrounded by books, scholastic support and diverse role models leave permanent impressions on a young person's mind well into their

Here in the U.S. and around the world, women are severely underrepresented in STEAM fields— career fields that are expected to grow more than 9 million jobs by 2022.

late teens. That’s why early exposure to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) fields are especially important.

Reflected in its legacy history, American industry was built on innovation. In order to awaken dreams and inspire the next generation of innovators, problemsolvers and leaders, it's imperative to expose children to STEAM at an early age. If engaged, receptive and they've developed an interest by eighth grade, they're three times more likely to pursue careers in

STEAM fields later in life.

STEAM careers are at the forefront of some of the fastestgrowing industries. Conversely, they also have some of the largest gender gaps as women comprise only 26 percent of all science, tech, engineering and mathematics jobs.

As they continue to grow, women are getting left behind.

Many young girls are turning away from STEAM careers during their developmental years and have completely opted out by high school.

That must change and we, the village

(with torches in hand), must step up to lead, advocate and champion that change.

For over three decades, the Ford Motor Company has been committed to supporting innovative initiatives that encourage and inspire young people to pursue and succeed in STEAM fields—a career path many, if not most, of today’s youth (especially African American youth) believe are out of reach for them.

Both within and outside the village, this is an important conversation that we must have as the future of our children is at stake. In addition to sponsorships, scholarships and aligning with synergy partners such as the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), Ford has demonstrated its commitment in a hands-on way, connecting with and supporting a host of STEM and STEAM focused initiatives including Girls Who Code, Tech Sassy Girlz, STEMinista project, Destination Imagination, School Retool, Michigan Technological University, Amphi Middle School’s Girl Power in Science & Engineering, FIRST® Robotics and #WomenInSTEAM, among others.

Here in the U.S. and around the world, women are severely underrepresented in STEAM fields—career fields that are expected to grow more than 9

million jobs by 2022. No surprise, both women and men are needed to fill those jobs and we, individually and collectively, must do our part to begin to narrow the gap, especially among African American youth.

For African American communities, integrating young women in science and technology begins with planting the seed at an early age, nurturing that seed to show the impossible is possible and, cultivating girls to become a part of those fields. Ever shifting, the formative and impressionable years between teen and young adult are a principal cause for why young girls are looking away from STEAM. Ford remains committed to inspiring young people to seek knowledge, be curious, solve problems and—like Henry Ford himself—make their dreams of a better world come true.

Whether parent, educator, leader, STEAM alum, or just someone who cares about the village and its children, you can play a role in supporting an up-and-coming generation of young girls interested and desirous to pursue a career in STEAM. Let’s unite as one to stimulate, inspire and change a life. At the end of the day, we’re all stakeholders in the future and success of our children.

OPED Climate Change Is an Immediate, Not Long-term, Threat

By Hugh J. Sealy Nearly 2 million Americans live within a mile of a highly polluted Superfund site that's at risk of flooding due to climate change. A flood at any of these 327 locations could spread toxic waste to the surrounding community, according to an Associated Press analysis.

This report shows that climate change isn't just a long-term environmental challenge. It's also an urgent public health threat.

Superfund sites are places -such as old landfills and shuttered chemical plants -- that the Environmental Protection Agency has singled out for federal cleanup due to the presence of toxic materials.

Climate change-fueled storms have turned these sites into public health disasters waiting to happen. In Houston last year, 13 Superfund sites flooded as a result of Hurricane Harvey. One of those locations, the San Jacinto Waste Pits, leaked toxic chemicals including dioxins, which cause reproductive problems and cancer.

Meanwhile, in the wake of Hurricane Maria, a lack of clean water in storm-battered Puerto Rico forced some residents to drink from wells near the island's Superfund sites.

Stories like these will become far more common, especially as climate change increases the risk of flooding. A recent study published in the journal Science Advances predicts that, by 2040, the number of people in North America vulnerable to extreme flooding will balloon from 100,000 to one million.

Floods aren't the only calamity caused by climate change. Toxic air pollution from wildfires, which are exacerbated by droughts linked to climate change, also endangers Americans' health.

The hotter temperatures brought on by climate change have led to longer and more severe wildfire seasons. This is especially true in the western United States, as evidenced by last year's devastating blazes in Southern California. Those fires destroyed over 1,000 buildings and forced hundreds of thousands of Californians to flee their homes.

The damage wasn't limited to Southern California. Wildfires release toxic heavy metals into the air. Such pollutants can make the air dangerous to breathe up to 70 miles away.

Climate change also enables diseases to spread further and more rapidly. As temperatures rise, animal-borne diseases that were previously confined to the tropics and subtropics move north. Since the 1980s, 76 percent of large American cities have experienced longer mosquito seasons, in part due to warmer, more humid climates.

As temperatures rise, animal-borne diseases that were previously confined to the tropics and subtropics move north.

This trend helps explain why the incidence of West Nile virus, which is carried by mosquitoes, has skyrocketed from only 21 cases in 2000 to 2,149 in 2016. Worst still, the likelihood of contracting West Nile virus will rise in 68 percent of California's geographic areas by 2050, according to researchers at UCLA. Similarly, climate change has made the United States more hospitable to several tick species that carry Lyme disease. Since 1996, the number of counties in which these ticks live has increased by 44 percent. Twenty years ago, these insects could not be found anywhere in Ohio. Today, they live in 33 of the state's 88 counties.

Many people think of climate change as a long-term problem, the costs of which will be paid mainly by the planet's future inhabitants. But this view ignores the urgent threats that flooding, wildfires, and diseases caused by climate change pose to Americans right now. Climate change demands an immediate response.

What Would We Do Without Rain?

Dr. James L. Snyder Sometimes I cannot help being a grouch. I guess it is what happens to a person when they get older. They get older, grouchier and grumpier. With that in mind, I guess I qualify for being an old geezer.

The past several weeks I was grouchy about the weather.

What else is there to grouch about these days? I would grouch about politics, but it is a world of craziness. I suppose good people go to Washington, DC, but they don’t stay good for long. Therefore, I have given up grouching about politics and politicians and such.

One of the good things about grouching about the weather is it there is nothing you can do about the weather.

You may not like the weather.

You may want a different kind of weather. However, there is actually nothing you can do to change the weather on the outside.

Through the years, I have realized that if I wanted to bet on which day it was going to rain, it would be the day I wash my car. When I am out there washing my car, Mother Nature is looking down on me grinning one of her sarcastic grins, knowing that she is going to send rain my way that day.

I still like grouching about the weather. After all, you need to grouch about something and I would rather grouch about something that I had nothing at

Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains Psalm 147:7-8. all to do with then something I could change.

The other day I started downtown and the sky was bright and sunny. Twenty minutes later, it was raining cats and dogs.

Three weeks ago at the church, we bought a brandnew lawnmower. We have not been able to use it yet so we do not know if it really works or not. The rain has come down for three weeks.

Thinking about the rain condition, we are in I often wonder about how Noah felt about the rain in his day. He built an ark and there was not a drop of rain to be found. He told everybody that it was going to rain; nobody had ever seen rain before and did not know what he was talking about.

For 100 years, Noah was building his ark and telling

people that the rain was coming soon. They laughed at him and probably he was the first person called The Rainman. They were not laughing so much when the rain actually did come.

I was sitting in my easy chair, looking out the glass door, watching it rain and rain and rain. Just when I thought it was about over, there was a crackling thunder and the rain came down worse than before.

“When will this rain,” I said in a very disgusted attitude, “stop so I can go outside?”

My wife looked at me and said, “What do you want to go outside for?”

Well, she had me there.

Because there is nothing for me

to do outside and furthermore, I am not permitted to do any repair work on the outside by decree of the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. No matter how bad something is broken, five minutes with me and it will be worse than before. That is, according to her estimation.

I tried to keep quiet for a few more minutes, but lo and behold, out came more grouchiness. I guess a person my age has a lot of grouchy to come out, but there is never an appropriate time.

“I’m getting so tired,” I said, “of this rain coming and not stopping. When will the rain ever stop? I can do without all this rain.”

At that moment, my wife came into the room where I was sitting and stared at me for a few moments. She has those stares that penetrate directly to the soul and back out again.

I was afraid to say anything at that time.

Then, putting both hands on her hips, she said, “What would we do without rain?”

I did not know if that was a rhetorical question or if she was grilling me about our situation.

She then turned around and went back to the kitchen to her work.

It did, however, caused me to think a little bit about that.

Where in the world would we be if it did not rain when it was

supposed to rain?

If it were not for rain, we would not have the beautiful land we now have. The farmer’s fields would not grow. The gardener’s vegetables would not grow. The florist’s would lose all their flowers.

Thinking along these lines, I came to a conclusion. It is important in this world for it to rain. Rain has a way of making everything grow and be healthy.

David saw rain in a very different matter. “Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains” (Psalm 147:7-8).

A rainy day is somewhat like life. You cannot make it rain and you cannot make it stop. However, every rain has a positive effect on the world around us.

I cannot control the rain, neither can I control much of the elements in my life but I can have a thankful heart like David, knowing that after the rain the flowers will bloom.

HEALTH After Fumbling Ebola in 2014, Congo Is Key Test for UN

By Maria Cheng Nearly four years after the World Health Organization was accused of bungling its response to the biggest Ebola outbreak in history, the U.N. agency appears to be moving swiftly to contain a flareup in Congo, in what some experts see as a critical test of its credibility.

It's too early to say whether WHO's handling of this crisis means all of the right changes have been made at WHO, but it does feel significantly different to 2014.

“

THE difference between WHO's response in 2014 and now is like night and day,” said Suerie Moon, of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Switzerland, who was part of an independent panel that assessed WHO's performance back then.

Fourteen cases of Ebola have been confirmed in Congo since the outbreak was reported last week, including one death. More than 40 suspected or probable cases— including 25 deaths—are under investigation.

Health officials are trying to track down more than 500 people who have been in contact with those feared infected, a task that became more urgent this week with news that the deadly virus had spread to Mbandaka, a city of more than 1 million.

WHO's chief flew to the outbreak's epicenter last week, dozens of staffers have been sent to the country, and thousands of doses of an experimental vaccine have arrived, with more on the way.

On Friday—10 days after WHO announced the outbreak—the agency's expert group convened to decide whether to declare the crisis an international emergency. It decided the situation does not yet merit such a declaration.

“I think there is a clear connection between the heavy criticism WHO

Suerie Moon

received in 2014 and the current response, where they look to be reacting very quickly,” Moon said.

In March 2014, WHO announced the discovery of Ebola in West Africa's Guinea by posting a twosentence update on its website. Over the next few months, the number of victims spiked, cases spilled across borders and international aid workers became infected.

Despite calls to declare the raging epidemic a global emergency, WHO resisted: Not until 1,000 people had died did it convene its expert committee to even consider the possibility. Ultimately, more than 11,000 people died in West Africa.

WHO's sluggish response was widely criticized and resulted in an overhaul of its emergencies department, among other attempted fixes.

An Associated Press investigation found the health agency delayed

declaring the outbreak to be a global emergency for months, partly out of fear such an announcement would anger the African countries involved or hurt their economies.

The AP also found WHO's response to be inadequate and chaotic, with organizers relying on expired chlorine, experts arguing over the color of body bags, and poor coordination that resulted in an Ebola clinic being built only after the epidemic had peaked.

This time, the fact that WHO's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, met with political leaders in Africa last week shows a heightened awareness of the seriousness of the crisis, Moon said.

Tedros, who goes by his first name, was elected last year, succeeding China's Dr. Margaret Chan, who was in charge during the West African outbreak.

“It's too early to say whether

WHO's handling of this crisis means all of the right changes have been made at WHO,” Moon said, “but it does feel significantly different to 2014.”

Still, others pointed out that the West Africa Ebola outbreak isn't entirely comparable to the current situation in the Congo.

When the lethal hemorrhagic fever broke out in Guinea, it was in a region with porous borders that had no experience with the disease.

In comparison, Congo has had more Ebola outbreaks than any other country in the world, and although the virus made it to a big city this week, most of the cases appear to be in a remote area accessible largely by dirt roads.

“This is a much easier situation than what the world confronted in 2014,” said Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute.

“The real test will come when you

have an outbreak across multiple countries, where disease surveillance poor and there are numerous logistical difficulties.”

Jha said it is too early to tell if WHO's response has been a success.

“There's been a lot of excitement about how great WHO is doing, but I think the celebrations should wait until we can see how this outbreak is really unfolding,” Jha said.

There have been rumors that Ebola cases went undetected for months before WHO's announcement, which could mean the virus has had much longer to spread. That could reduce the chances of bringing a quick end to the outbreak.

Dr. Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, a British charity, applauded WHO's director-general for putting epidemics and health security high on his agenda.

“We all know the history and lessons from 2013-2016,” Farrar said in an email. “So far in this epidemic, (WHO) has done all the right things.”

Moon said it is too early to be optimistic and warned that the world will be watching the organization very carefully.

“This will be viewed as a key test for them,” she said. “After what happened in 2014, I don't think anyone is breathing easy right now.”

Red Cross Calls for Summer Blood Donations to Prevent a Shortage Singing the Blues: Study of Pop Music Finds Rise in Sadness

By Mark Kennedy NEW YORK—A study of hundreds of thousands of popular songs over the past three decades has found a downward sonic trend in happiness and an increase in sadness, as the chirpy band Wham! gave way to the moody Sam Smith.

For the report in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California at Irvine looked at 500,000 songs released in the UK between 1985 and 2015, and categorized them according to their mood. “'Happiness' is going down, ‘brightness' is going down, ‘sadness' is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more ‘danceable' and more ‘party-like,”' co-author Natalia L. Komarova told The Associated Press.

Of course, the researchers emphasize that a gradual decrease in the average “happiness” index does not mean that all successful songs in 1985 were happy and all successful songs in 2015 were sad. They were looking for average

The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year. trends in the acoustic properties of the music and the moods describing the sounds.

Some songs with a low happiness index in 2014 include “Stay With Me”

by Sam Smith, “Whispers” by Passenger and “Unmissable” by Gorgon City.

Some from 1985 with a high happiness index include “Glory Days” by Bruce Springsteen, “Would I Lie to You?” by the Eurythmics, and “Freedom” by Wham!

“The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year,” the researchers wrote. They also found the most successful genres of music were dance and pop, as well as a

“clear downward trend” in the success of rock, starting in the early 2000s.

The overall mood shifts in the songs' musical features mirror other studies that have examined lyric changes over the years. They have found the use of positive emotions has declined and indicators of loneliness and social isolation have increased.

“So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance,” emailed Komarova, who wrote the report with Myra Interiano, Kamyar Kazemi, LijiaWang, Jienian Yang and Zhaoxia Yu. The researchers also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music— has decreased over the last 30 years.

“Successful songs are characterized by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs,” they write.

That finding comes at a time when the music industry is wrestling with the issue of gender inequality, and men overwhelmingly dominate the ranks of artists and songwriters.

The American Red Cross is counting on volunteer donors to give blood and help ensure patient needs can be met this summer.

Around Memorial Day, the Red Cross sees a steep decline in blood donations. Busy summer schedules, vacations and school breaks also cause a drop in donations. Accidents and medical emergencies don’t take a summer break – patients need blood every minute, every day.

In the summer of 1973, Ramona Johnson was playing at the park when she was injured jumping off the swings.

She was bleeding profusely from a 7-inch gash in her leg. By the time she reached the hospital, she needed an emergency transfusion. She credits the donors who took the time to give blood with helping to save her life.

Johnson’s childhood experience receiving blood compelled her to make her first blood donation more than 10 years ago. “A little voice told me that this would be a great way to give back,” she said. “I have been faithfully donating every eight weeks since.”

The public is asked to schedule an appointment to help ensure that hospitals and patients have the blood they need this summer. Make an appointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

In thanks, all those who come to donate blood or platelets now through June 10, 2018, will receive a $5 Amazon. com Gift Card via email, courtesy of Suburban Propane.

(Restrictions apply; see amazon.com/gc-legal. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/ Together.) Additionally, those who come to give May 25-29, will receive an exclusive Red Cross-branded T-shirt, while supplies last.

LOCAL NEWS Trump Defends 'Animals' Remark, Says He'll Always Use it

By Jill Colvin WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump continues to defend his use of the word “animals” to describe some immigrants who enter the country illegally, saying he would continue to use the term to refer to violent gang members in spite of a sharp rebuke from Democratic leaders.

A

NSWERING a reporter's question during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump said his comment a day earlier had clearly been directed at members of the MS-13 gang.

“MS-13, these are animals coming onto our country,” Trump said, repeating his

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: FARM TO TABLE

language from last Wednesday.

He added: “When the MS13 comes in, when the other gang members come into our country, I refer to them as animals. And guess what? I always will.”

Trump has been under fire for comments he made while railing against California for its so-called sanctuary immigration policies. Trump was speaking at a roundtable with local California officials when he responded to a comment that had referenced MS-13.

“We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in—and we're stopping a lot of them,” Trump said after Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims complained about state restrictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. “You wouldn't believe how bad these people are. These aren't people.

These are animals.”

Trump has repeatedly referred to members of the violent street gang as “animals” in speeches, rallies and at White House events. He has also used the term to describe terrorists and school shooters.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., responded on Twitter to the president, saying, “When all of our great-great-grandparents came to America they weren't

‘animals,' and these people aren't either.”

And House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi said, “Every day that you think you've seen it all, along comes another manifestation of why their policies are so inhumane.”

Mexico's foreign ministry sent a formal diplomatic letter to the U.S. State Department complaining that Trump's comments were “absolutely unacceptable.” The foreign ministry released a statement saying such comments create a difficult climate for Mexicans living in the United States.

But White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defended the president's comments, arguing the word “animals” didn't go far enough.

“This is one of the most vicious and deadly gangs that

operates by the motto of, ‘Rape, control and kill,”' she said, adding that, “If the media and liberals want to defend MS-13, they're more than welcome to.

Frankly, I don't think the term that the president used was strong enough.”

Trump was joined at the Wednesday White House meeting by mayors, sheriffs and other local leaders from California who oppose the state's immigration policies and who applauded his administration's hard-line efforts.

“This is your Republican resistance right here against what they're doing in California,” said Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, coopting a term used by Democrats opposed to Trump's presidency. She, like others, said the president and his policies were far more popular in the state than people realize.

They were criticizing legislation Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law last year that bars police from asking people about their immigration status or helping federal agents with immigration enforcement.

Jail officials can transfer inmates to federal immigration authorities if they have been convicted of one of about 800 crimes, mostly felonies, but not for minor offenses.

of declaring a disaster, but including anti price-gouging measures to codify the existing provisions of the California Penal Code that establishes anti price-gouging measures statewide," he said.

California Penal Code 396 prohibits price-gouging, he said, and gets invoked when they declare various levels of emergency at the state and local level.

"It applies to price increases more than 10 percent for consumer-used goods, such as rental housing, consumer food items, or goods and services used for emergency cleanup, supplies, medical supplies and construction goods for reconstruction efforts after a disaster," he said. "The pricegouging restrictions can be extended for 30 day periods following the declaration of

a disaster by state or local officials."

Fischer said the code section will affect rent increases and vendor charges to a landlord after a natural disaster with a 10 percent increase limit.

"That creates some interesting issues for landlords who may have a revenue management system that automatically automatically adjusts the rents they market to new renters," he said.

"During a disaster period, they would have to monitor that to make sure they are not inadvertently charging more than a 10 percent increase over what they advertised prior to the disaster."

He said the ordinance also adds definitions for disaster service workers.

During public comments, Brother Woodrow Thomas

said there are a lot of landlords who only care about their pockets.

"What I mean by that is their millionaires and you are living in poverty," he said. "They go home and sleep in a big king-sized bed with a swimming pool in the backyard in the valley and here we are living with people who are homeless."

He said the city needs to be ready.

"We need to make sure that all of us are volunteering if some natural disaster would occur," he said. "If you get caught looting or doing anything against the law that you are definitely doing some years, not county time, I'm talking about penitentiary time."

He said lives are at stake in such a situation.

"I always will take a person's life over a million dollars," he said.

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said he supports the ordinance.

"I know it affects a certain portion of the city, as the city attorney stated," he said.

"Unfortunately, a few have to pay for the crime of many.

We have to keep it fair for everybody, specifically during times of need."

Councilman Bert Perello supports the ordinance but asked Fischer if there were any complaints about housing after the Thomas fire.

Fischer said he didn't know about any complaints.

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 916-939-0772 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-17-770666-CL.

sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

WILLOWBROOK LANE, SIMI VALLEY, CA 93065 Assessor's Parcel No.: 632-0-342-110 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 916-939-0772 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-17-765228-RY. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

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 800-280-2832 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-17-779353-JB. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only.

NEWS More States Taking Down Vestiges of Racism, Intolerance

By Corey Williams DETROIT—A nearly 80-year-old statue depicting a European settler with a weapon in his hand towering over a Native American that some say celebrates white supremacy has been dismantled by crews in southwestern Michigan's Kalamazoo.

A

ND at the University of Michigan, regents have voted to strip a former school president's name from a campus science building because he lent his scientific expertise to groups that were in favor of selective reproduction, also known as eugenics.

Vestiges of racism and intolerance are slowly being moved and removed in Michigan and other northern states. In some cases, the efforts are being led by students and faculty at prestigious universities, community leaders and elected officials taking harder looks at their history and potentially divisive issues while being spurred by more widespread efforts in the South to erase the nation's slave past.

“I think it's very much in line with the things we're seeing happen across the country,” said Josh Hasler, a recent University of Michigan graduate who worked as a student with some faculty members to have Clarence Cook Little's name scraped off the building on the school's Ann Arbor campus.

Little was the school's president from 1925 to 1929. He supported sterilization of what eugenics referred to as the “unfit” and also backed immigration restrictions and laws against the mixing of racial groups, including in marriage. He was scientific director of a tobacco research advisory board in the 1950s and was accused of sowing doubt about smoking and cancer.

The vote to take down Little's name came in March along with one by regents to remove late science professor Alexander Winchell's name from a residence hall wing. Winchell wrote a book that is cited by white supremacist groups.

No one is trying to erase history. It goes to show that remembering and commemorating aren't the same thing.

Josh Hasler “No one is trying to erase history,” Hasler said. “It goes to show that remembering and commemorating aren't the same thing.”

Monuments honoring Confederate

soldiers have been targeted for removal from courthouses, statehouses, schools and public parks since the racially motivated killings of nine African-American parishioners in 2015 at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, and after last year's violent protests at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Charlottesville leaders have voted to remove statues of Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. Earlier this year, Tulsa Public Schools removed a monument dedicated to Lee and rescinded the school's name.

Meanwhile, the North Carolina Historical Commission is considering

a formal request from late last year

by Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper to move three monuments from the state's Capitol grounds to a historic battlefield site.

But such statues and monuments aren't just being mothballed down South.

Last year, Helena, Montana, removed a memorial to Confederate soldiers that had been in a public park since 1916. And in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, a statue of former Mayor Orville Hubbard— who spent decades trying to keep the city all white—was socked away for more than a year after leaders decided it didn't belong outside a new City Hall. The Hubbard statue now stands beside a small museum.

Kalamazoo's Fountain of the Pioneers is expected to be stored away until officials decide on a new home for the monument. Some residents say the piece is racist toward Native Americans. Others argue that it is art and can teach people about history.

Only time will tell if calls to remove monuments will continue to grow, according to Paul Brest, professor emeritus and former law school dean at Stanford University.

“I think it has more to do with a moment in history when there is a lot of consciousness of people's conduct ... a period where people are socially conscious about this behavior in the past,” Brest said. “The Civil War monuments are a particular example of that.

“The things that may seem innocuous today may—100 years from now—seem like bad deeds. It calls for a degree of caution.”

Your child’s dreams are like stars: If he chooses them as his guides, he can reach his destiny.

BORN TO BE GREAT By 2020, 65 percent of all jobs will require postsecondary education and training beyond high school. Previously, courses teaching higher-order thinking skills like critical thinking and problem solving were reserved for the economically advantaged and “gifted and talented.”

The federal government has a responsibility to invest in the success of every student. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires that acquisition of those higher-order thinking skills be the standard for every student but your involvement is needed to make those requirements realities.

PITCH YOUR SMALL BUSINESS LIKE A PRO

E

FAMILY FEATURES

ntrepreneurship is alive and well, even if the face of small business is evolving with the times. Autonomy in management and making dreams a reality are the reasons most cited by entre­ preneurs looking to open a small business.

Nearly half of all respondents in the annual The UPS Store “Inside Small Business Survey” said they’d be optimistic about opening a small business this year. Of respondents who hope to open a small business, top motivators include being their own bosses (38 percent), followed by believing in the power of their own ideas (17 percent) and creating their next career paths (15 percent).

“The American Dream of owning your own business is still very much real, especially when compared to the rest of the developed world,” said Dr. Luke Pittaway, Ohio University College of Business Copeland Professor of Entrepreneurship.

However, how Americans are choosing to open small businesses is where there may be a shift.

“Consumer habits are changing,” Pittaway said. “That’s forcing Americans to consider how they open small businesses, whether it's focusing more on e­commerce than actual store fronts or focusing on selling to a local community or region instead of a broader national audience.”

Starting Your Own Start-Up

The process of launching a start­up can throw various unexpected obstacles your way, but there are numerous resources available to support a budding business.

“We understand the challenges of small business owners and offer products and services designed specifically to help and support small businesses,” said Tim Davis, president of The UPS Store, Inc. “Small business owners are unparalleled in their passion for their businesses, and understanding that aspiration is critical to running a successful small business.”

This action plan from the experts at The UPS Store can help you get you on your way to launching a successful start­up:

1. Analyze your target audience.

Start by performing extensive market research to understand your customers' core necessities.

Assessing your target demographic gives you a clear perspective on how to serve the people in it.

2. Determine a legal structure.

Selecting the right legal structure ultimately determines how you handle income taxes and all government reporting requirements. Many small businesses fall under a sole proprietorship or

limited liability company (LLC) while bigger entities may identify as corporations.

3. Establish your premises.

Choosing the right business setting could be the difference between a cost-effective startup and a moderately expensive one. Your work space should fall within your monthly budget while still satisfying the needs of your customers.

4. Determine your budget and expenses.

W

hen you’re launching a small business, there could be any number of reasons you may need to pitch your idea. You may be courting an investor, recruiting talent or even starting to market your product or service. Brevity is often essential, so learn how to concisely pitch your business like a pro with these tips: Draw out the essentials. Reduce your pitch to a few digestible bites. Make sure you have an intro that is brief enough to get someone’s undivided attention then elaborate on your points, such as your top competitive advantages, and provide more detail about your business as a whole.

Assessing your available funds enables you to prioritize and assign an appropriate amount to your business assets. This should include necessities for daily operations, as well as secondary expenses, such as traveling and meetings.

Come to entertain. Add an entertainment factor to make your pitch engaging and memorable. Of course, you need substance to go along with style, but keeping your audience focused and doing something to stand out is essential.

5. Develop a business plan.

Anticipate questions. Prepare yourself to reassure concerned investors and flesh out subjects you may have kept brief for your presentation. Make sure to practice your answers so you sound confident. Grabbing attention is important, but you need to be able to back up your spiel.

Think of a business plan as a road map that indicates where your start­up stands and where it is headed. If you need funding, it’s also a great tool to articulate your ideas, philosophies and goals.

6. Set up a marketing plan.

Conduct an analysis of your business’s strengths and weaknesses to devise strategies and tactics that account for challenges and opportunities your business is likely to face.

The scale of your marketing plan will likely depend on resources you have available and your target audience, but should feature a variety of tactics. Your plan should include printed materials like direct mailers, business cards, newsletters, flyers, banners and posters, as well as digital to cover things like search and social media.

7. Be competitive.

Examine your competitors to determine the areas in which they thrive and see what makes them successful. Learn from the landscape to improve upon their strengths and gain an upper hand on their weaknesses. For example, implement various pricing models, such as special offers, coupons and rewards, rather than sticking with your initial, low price to remain competitive and profitable.

With a carefully structured action plan, you can turn your start­up idea into a successful business. Find more tips for your small business at TheUPSStore.com.

Know your audience. This is the cardinal rule of communication. Make sure you do your homework and know who you are addressing. This shows you value your listener’s time and feedback. Furthermore, insight about his or her philosophy in doing business can be extremely valuable during a pitch.

Practice until it hurts. Take the time to practice your entire pitch, including answers to likely questions, until you know it inside and out. The more comfortable you are, the more likely you are to win someone over in a meeting.

Have the materials to back it up. A written document is your chance to leave a lasting impression and elaborate on your major selling points. It’s also a chance to show your professionalism, so be sure to proofread carefully and package the information for a polished presentation.

Spike Lee Wins Grand Prize in Prestigious Film Competition

By Jake Coyle and Thomas Adamson

I take this on the behalf of the People's Republic of Brooklyn, New York.

A tumultuous Cannes Film Festival culminated last Saturday with the Palme d'Or awarded going to Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's “Shoplifters,” a tender portrait of a poor, improvised family, while Harvey Weinstein accuser Asia Argento vowed justice will come to sexual predators.

Spike Lee

A

T the closing ceremony for the 71st edition of the French Riviera extravaganza, the Cate Blanchettled jury selected one of the festival's most acclaimed entries, one hailed as a modest masterpiece from a veteran filmmaker renowned for his delicate touch. “Shoplifters” is about a smalltime thief who takes a young girl home to his family; after seeing scars from abuse, they decide to keep her and raise her as their own.

While many speculated that the Cate Blanchett-led jury might award only the second Palme d'Or to a film directed by a woman, the most likely contender—Lebanese director Nadine Labaki's “Capernaum”—was

instead given Cannes' jury prize. The film drew a rousing standing ovation at its premiere Thursday but less enthusiastic critic reviews for its tale of a 12-year-old boy living in poverty who sues his parents for bringing him into such a cruel world.

Spike Lee's “BlackkKlansman,” the highest profile American film in

competition at Cannes, was awarded the grand prize. The film ignited the festival with its true tale of a Black police detective who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan. Lee connected the film to modern day with real footage from last year's violent white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Celebrities Spice Up Royal Wedding

By Leane Italie Oprah Winfrey seemed a tad confused about her seating assignment. Serena Williams documented her journey to St. George's Chapel on Instagram.

Idris Elba smiled broadly as he escorted his fiancee, model Sabrina Dhowre, who wore the obligatory hat.

They were among a slew of celebrities among the 600 guests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle invited to their wedding ceremony last weekend, an event from which politicians were excluded.

Several of Markle's former costars on the USA Network paralegal drama “Suits” were invited. Among them were Gina Torres, Sarah Rafferty, Abigail Spencer, Rick Hoffman and Markle's on-screen hubby, Patrick J. Adams. “Pretty Little Liars” star Troian Bellisario, Adams' wife, was his plus-one.

Indian actress Priyanka Chopra, a friend of the bride's, strutted into the chapel in a light heather grey Vivienne Westwood pencil skirt and matching jacket with an asymmetric collar.

Tennis star Williams, accompanied by her husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, chose a blush, long-sleeve silk drape dress by Atelier Versace to go with her fascinator in pale pink, a hue also favored by Winfrey and others for the royal wedding.

Elton John, looking dapper in tails, did double-duty as a wedding guest and a performer at the luncheon reception hosted by Queen Elizabeth II. He sported pink eyeglasses as he arrived with husband David Furnish.

John was a close friend of the groom's late mother, Princess Diana, and played his hit “Candle in the Wind” at her 1997 funeral.

Kensington Palace did not disclose which songs he chose for the wedding.

The 12-day festival was the first since the downfall of Weinstein, who was for decades an annual fixture in Cannes. In the aftermath, this year's festival was shaken by debate over gender equality in the film industry and at Cannes. In a striking rally, 82 women—the same number of female filmmakers to ever be selected to Cannes competition lineup—stood on the Palais red-carpet steps, as Blanchett said, “a symbol of our determination to change and progress.”

Some changes were swift. Just days later, with Blanchett's jury looking on, Cannes' Artistic Director Thierry Fremaux signed a pledge to make the festival's selection process more transparent and promised other measures to improve the festival's record of including female filmmakers.

It was also a part of Saturday's closing ceremony. Argento raised a fist raised high on the red carpet. The

actress has said Weinstein raped her at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997.

(Weinstein has denied all accusations of non-consensual sex.)

“In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes. I was 21 years old. This festival was his hunting ground,” said Argento at the ceremony. “I want to make a prediction: Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again.”

“And even tonight, sitting among you, there are those who still have to be held accountable for their conduct against women for behavior that does not belong in this industry,” said Argento. “You know who you are.

But more importantly, we know who you are. And we're not going to allow you to get away with it any longer.”

Following last year's Cannes, jury member Jessica Chastain was critical about the female representation on view in that year's films. Blanchett told reporters Saturday that her concerns were primarily behind the camera. Three of this year's 21 films in competition were directed by women.

“All of us, men and women alike on the jury would love to see more female directorial voices represented,” said Blanchett. “I feel that there's a very strong drive within the organization of the Cannes Film Festival to make sure they explore, with a curious hat on, female perspectives. There perhaps weren't as many female-driven narratives as I would have liked but there certainly some powerhouse female performances.”

'Jurassic Park' Dinosaur Expert's Next Big Thing: Holograms

I'm always trying to figure out a good way to get the science of paleontology across to the general public.

Several of Markle's former co-stars on the USA Network paralegal drama “Suits” were invited.

Castle—Ms. Clooney in a bright yellow Stella McCartney dress and matching hat. It seemed her hubby walked just slowly enough to keep her out of peril in her heels on the castle's menacing cobblestones.

British singer James Blunt was in traditional tails, while Argentine polo player Nacho Figueras went for a double-breasted blue suit. He didn't forget the pocket square.

Forget the gray, green and brown dinosaurs in the “Jurassic Park” movies. Paleontologist Jack Horner wants to transport people back in time to see a feathered Tyrannosaurus rex colored bright red and a blue triceratops with red fringe similar to a rooster's comb.

Horner, who consulted with director Steven Spielberg on the “Jurassic Park” films, is developing a three-dimensional hologram exhibit that will showcase the latest theories on what dinosaurs looked like. He is working with entertainment company Base Hologram to create an exhibit that will let people feel as though they're on an archaeological dig, inside a laboratory and surrounded by dinosaurs in the wild.

“I'm always trying to figure out a good way to get the science of paleontology across to the general public,” Horner said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “Like taking them into the field or taking them into my laboratory and then using the technology that we have to show people what dinosaurs were really like.”

That understanding of what dinosaurs looked like has changed a lot since the original “Jurassic Park” in 1993.

For example, researchers now believe dinosaurs were much more bird-like than lizard-like, and scientists studying dinosaur skulls have found keratin, a substance that gives birds their Paleontologist Jack bright colors.

Horner “We can see at least areas that could be vividly colored, very much like birds, and there's no reason to make them different from birds,” Horner said.

Horner and Base Hologram workers have been developing the exhibit's story line for a couple of months, with plans to have multiple traveling exhibits ready to launch by spring 2019. The company wants to place them in museums, science centers and other institutions where they might spur debate among scientists who don't share the theory that dinosaurs were colorful, feathered creatures.

“The controversy is OK because it makes people talk,” said Base Hologram executive vice president Michael Swinney.

Live performances using holograms have gained attention in recent years, notably through concerts that feature likenesses of dead performers such as Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur.

Until now, Base Hologram, a subsidiary of the live entertainment company Base Entertainment, has used the technology to put on concerts by late singers Roy Orbison and Marie Callas. As the field becomes more competitive, the company is seeking new areas to apply the technology, such as science, CEO Brian Becker said.

Horner previously worked with Microsoft to create his dinosaur holograms that can be used with virtual and augmented reality technologies.

Joss Stone was also on hand, prompting BBC commenters to note that the singer, often barefoot on stage, wore shoes.

Oprah's longtime partner, Stedman Graham, said he could have joined her, but was happier giving a commencement address inside a gymnasium in Baltimore, where his advice to graduates just might extend to a certain American across the pond: Don't be concerned with how others define you, he said: “The only thing that matters is how you define yourselves.”
