Ridley-Thomas Calls for County Audit of Coliseum Commission In a unanimous vote, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday called for the Los Angeles County AuditorController to audit the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission and, if necessary, to serve as the interim chief financial officer of the commission. The vote, on a motion sponsored by Supervisors Mark Ridley-Thomas and Don Knabe, came after numerous allegations of financial mismanagement at the facility. “The future of the Coli-
seum is now at stake,” RidleyThomas said. “The County, as one of the three partners managing the facility, is bound by fiduciary duty to protect the interests of its residents. The AuditorController, therefore, is both appropriate and well-equipped to help the Coliseum Commission get on the right track,” he said. "We need to mobilize any and all resources to maintain the long-term financial stability of the Coliseum," said Supervisor Knabe, who also serves as the Please see Coliseum, page 7
LOS ANGELES—In a heartwarming outpouring of love and admiration, family, friends, fans and Los Angeles’ entertainment community came forth in adoring force to say goodbye to all-around entertainer Vesta Williams. The beloved singer/ songwriter/comedienne/actress/ radio personality was feted with a home-going celebration fit for a queen at Williams’ home church, West Angeles Church of God in Christ. The skies were dark with rain clouds when the 11:00 a.m. service began but by its conclusion at 12:30 p.m., the sun came shining through. In between, a fond farewell was bid to Williams with a touching cross section of loved ones. Resolutions from elected officials came from U.S. Congresswoman Maxine Waters, L.A. County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, California state assemblyman Mike Davis, and City of Los Angeles councilman Bernard C. Parks. After a joyous selection
sung by the West Angeles Cathedral Singers, three special friends shared deeply touching reflections. Songwriter Tena Clark touchingly shared her story of Vesta boldly championing her – a woman – as the only one who could produce the song they had j u s t c o - w r i t t e n , “Congratulations,” and how Williams’ belief in her gifts resulted in the turning point of Clark’s career. Record executive Jesus Garber who was VP of R&B Music at A&M Records while Williams was signed to the company recalled Williams’ unflinching dedication to her fans and how “Congratulations” had the longest chart run of any song at Black radio in 1988. And Iris Perkins, her longtime manager and close confidante, reminded all that above and beyond her acclaim as an entertainer, she was a wonderful mother, daughter, sister and grandmother.

Hello Readers, Praise God for another week which we have been blessed to see. We need to continue to pray for our country, our president, our families, our neighbors, and all the concerns in our world today. We are constantly hearing about the economy and other issues. I am reminded of the goodness of God and how He has given us promises that we are to live by so as to keep our hearts and minds in perfect peace. As children of the most high, we are to appropriate the power bestowed upon us at the New Birth and at the reception of the Holy Spirit who enters at the New Birth. With this power we have the awesome privilege to accomplished mighty works. It is to believe in the midst of so much unbelief that God is the same today, yesterday, and forever more. I stand on that promise. Times may change, people may change, but I am assured that the God I serve never changes, therefore, I shall not be moved though my enemies encamp all around me. I will yet praise God for his promises because they are true. I dare you to trust in His promises. You will rise up.

Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth's Efforts in Birmingham Energized the National Civil Rights Movement Editor’s Note: This article is not an opinion piece. It is a news feature highlighting the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Fred Shuttlesworth. The work he accomplished in our life time deserves the space as an educational and historical piece for our generation to remember an icon, the man, Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. By Greg Garrison BIRMINGHAM, Alabama --- The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, the driving force behind the Birmingham integration efforts that energized the national civil rights movement, died Wednesday morning. He was 89. The Rev. Shuttlesworth said he never feared death, and put himself on the line repeatedly during his struggle against the Jim Crow segregation of Birmingham in the 1950s and early 1960s. He was brutally beaten by a mob, sprayed with city fire hoses, and arrested by police 35 times. He was blown out of his bed by a bomb set by the Ku Klux Klan, which also bombed his church. "I tried to get killed in Birmingham and go home to God because I knew it would be better for you in Birmingham," he once told an audience of students at Lawson State Community College. He founded the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights in 1956, when he began violating Birmingham's bus segregation law. He risked his life again and again to pave the way for a minority's civil rights. "That Fred Shuttlesworth did not become a martyr was not for lack of trying," said his biographer, Andrew Manis, author of "A Fire You Can't Put Out." "There was not a person in the civil rights movement who put himself in the position of being killed more often than Fred Shuttlesworth." The Rev. Shuttlesworth was pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Collegeville from 1953 to 1961, a period when he had persistent battles with Birmingham's segregationist police commissioner, Eugene "Bull" Connor. The defining moment for the Rev. Shuttlesworth came during the 1956 Christmas night bombing that shattered the church and crumbled the parsonage next door. He walked out of the rubble almost unscathed, yet he recalled that the mattress he was sleeping on was blown to bits. "We didn't find any pieces as large as my fists," he said. He believed it was a sign from God. "Shuttlesworth was convinced that God saved him to lead the fight," Manis said. It seemed to give him new energy and even more courage in his efforts to desegregate Birmingham's buses and schools. The day after the bombing, he and his supporters were back in the front seats of city buses, defying segregation laws. He was arrested for again riding in whites-only seats in 1958. Even his children were arrested in 1960 for violating bus segregation laws. The Rev. Shuttlesworth did not have the smooth appeal that Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist Martin Luther King Jr. did. The Rev. Shuttlesworth's demeanor often rubbed people the wrong way. Unlike King, who earned a doctorate from Boston University and studied the latest trends in theology, the Rev. Shuttlesworth was truly a country preacher, rough around the edges, Manis said. "For the most part he was theologically self-taught; he was conservative, almost a fundamentalist," Manis said. "He was obsessed and had this fiery approach to whatever he was doing." The Rev. Shuttlesworth was born March 18, 1922, in Montgomery County. When he was 3, his stepfather and mother moved him to Birmingham, where he grew up, often at odds with his stepfather. In 1947, he went to Selma University to study for the ministry. He was the first married student on campus. His wife, a nurse, went to work at a Catholic infirmary to support the family. In the fall of 1949, First Baptist Church of Selma paid the Rev. Shuttlesworth $10 to preach on Sundays and hired him as pastor the next spring. But he had a series of confrontations with the deacons. The church hired the brash young minister for his fiery preaching, but resented that he was not more polished. Ruffled feathers The Rev. Shuttlesworth's absolute commitment to his churches and to the civil rights struggle was at times hard on his family. His 1970 divorce from his longtime wife, Ruby, resulted in conflicts with his children. His boldness in confronting city leaders and breaking laws he felt were unjust made him controversial, even to many in the black middle class. He once criticized black millionaire A.G. Gaston for making remarks about the disruptiveness of Shuttlesworth's crusade. The relationship between King and the Rev. Shuttlesworth was delicate as well. Manis recounts one time in which King and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy were discussing views of Christ's Resurrection and the Rev. Shuttlesworth took their comments as doubt about the historical truth of the Resurrection. The Rev. Shuttlesworth reacted so intensely to King's suggestion that the disciples may have seen an apparition that King never seemed comfortable discussing theology with him again, Manis said. Yet King knew how vital Shuttlesworth was to the movement. "They were not close friends; they were, in a sense, business associates," Manis said. "He appreciated what Shuttlesworth was doing." But their differing backgrounds and approaches meant they would never be close friends, as King and Abernathy were. "That kept King at arm's length from Shuttlesworth," Manis said. "The movement took all kinds of people. They both understood their roles." The Rev. Shuttlesworth had begun pestering King as early as 1959 to focus national demonstrations on Birmingham, writing letters impatient and irritated in tone. "Shuttlesworth helped the rest of the movement understand the way Birmingham was symbolically the strongest bastion of segregation in the South, with Bull Connor himself being the symbol of segregation," Manis said. "That was clear to Shuttlesworth early on." It may have been clear to King, too, but it wasn't until the disappointment of King's efforts in Albany, Ga., that he felt the timing was right for Birmingham in 1963.
Shuttlesworth
ROBERT ADAMS Dec. 26, 1956: Five days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Montgomery city buses must integrate, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and others challenged the law in Birmingham by joining white passengers on a city bus. Shuttlesworth boarded the bus hours after a bomb exploded inside his Collegeville house "The driving force behind Dr. King being in Birmingham was Fred," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, a civil rights activist who assisted King and Shuttlesworth. "It was the Birmingham marches that touched the conscience of the whole world. "Fred was the inspiration. Fred was, in many ways, the soul of that campaign. He embraced me as a young minister. I feel indebted to him. I feel a keen sense of loss." The success in Birmingham propelled King to even greater prominence, while Shuttlesworth never quite got the credit he deserved, Manis and Jackson said. When King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, he invited a large entourage with him to accept the prize in Oslo, Norway. The Rev. Shuttlesworth wasn't one of them, and he was deeply hurt. "You can make the argument King would not have won the prize without the success in Birmingham, and that would not have been possible without the groundwork laid by Shuttlesworth," Manis said. "He was upset that he was not included in the entourage to Oslo. I don't exactly blame him." The Rev. Shuttlesworth called King about the matter and King apologized, saying he hadn't thought it through. But the Rev. Shuttlesworth was also not invited to a subsequent celebration of the prize in Atlanta. Manis writes that the Rev. Shuttlesworth held a residual anger toward King, and disagreed with King's not keeping the pressure on in Birmingham. The Rev. Shuttlesworth continued to participate in national protests. Cincinnati preacher Even though the Rev. Shuttlesworth left Bethel Baptist in 1961 and moved to Ohio, he returned often to Alabama and remained key to the civil rights struggles in Birmingham. In Cincinnati, he went through infighting with his congregation at Revelation Baptist Church, which caused a church split. He then helped found Greater New Light Baptist Church in 1966 with supporters from the split. He had remained pastor of Greater New Light until his retirement in 2005. He still loved spending much of his time in Birmingham. "I used to say I preached in Cincinnati and pastored in Birmingham," he said. Shuttlesworth moved back to Birmingham in 2008, living for awhile in a downtown apartment after undergoing therapy for a stroke he suffered in 2007. The Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport was renamed for him in 2008 and he attended the premiere of a documentary highlighting his work at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, where a statue honoring him stands outside. He often reflected on the many confrontations in his life. "Confrontation is not bad," he said. "Goodness is supposed to confront evil." Jackson said Shuttlesworth's achievements were revolutionary. "Fred's one of the founding fathers of the New America," Jackson said. "He endured suffering and life-threatening activity to snatch down the steel curtain and lay down a New South." Those feelings were echoed by others. "Shuttlesworth was certainly unsurpassed in terms of a courageous figure, the embodiment of both physical and moral courage in maybe the most important moral issue in American history," Manis said. Bishop Calvin Woods, president of the Birmingham chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, was one of Shuttlesworth's early followers in fighting the city's segregation laws in the 1950s. "He was a hard man for a hard town, who dealt with problems in a way no one else had ever dealt with them," Woods said. "He was a man of love, courage, faith, and he certainly was a man of action. "Because of his courage, he engendered courage in many of us." Shuttlesworth is survived by his wife, Sephira Shuttlesworth, and his children, Patricia Shuttlesworth Massengill, Ruby Shuttlesworth Bester, Fred L. Shuttlesworth Jr., and Carolyn Shuttlesworth. Funeral arrangements are pending. Source:The Birmingham News

EDUCATION & COMMUNITY NEWS How To Find the Perfect Home Study Space for Your Student (ARA) - Back to school means back to homework for most kids. For many parents it also means asking, pleading, nagging and demanding that their kids get to it. But getting your kids to hit the books when they get home could be as easy as reorganizing their study space, or providing a special spot for studying in the first place. Does your child have a comfortable place to study? Some kids prefer a traditional desk, while others may be more comfortable working in a lounge chair or even propped up against pillows on their bed with a laptop. The key is giving them a choice, says Jackie Barry, Interior Design program coordinator
at The Art Institute of HoustonNorth, a branch of The Art Institute of Houston. "Talk to your children about how they like to study and what motivates them," she says, adding that when the kids are comfortable, they'll be more productive. If your child prefers a traditional study space, but your budget is tight, a new desk does not have to break your piggy bank. "You can create a desk with two construction horses and a board," says Seyavash Zohoori, academic director for Interior Design at The Art Institute of Salt Lake City. The best part is that this desk is mobile, so if your child wants a change of scenery, moving the study space is a snap.
But do invest in a chair with good lumbar support. Once you settle on a comfortable spot, remove the distractions, like the TV. Also, get rid of one of the biggest distractions of all - clutter. A messy room can be unsettling and leave kids unproductive, advises Jeannette Dubyak, professor of Education Leadership at Argosy University in Atlanta. But there are plenty of organizational and storage options, says Catherine Azcarate, Interior Design instructor at The Art Institute of Colorado. "There are so many storage solutions out there - use them. You can find an organizer for just about any item you have in your study space," she says. "The more organized the space, the
Hill Harper to Headline Pathways To Your Future – Frontline Soldiers Awards Breakfast LO S ANG ELES— Actors Hill Harper and Harry Lennix have teamed up with Pathways To Your Future to host the 15th Anniversary Frontline Soldiers Awards Breakfast on Saturday, October 15, 2011, 7:30 a.m. at the Proud Bird Restaurant in Los Angeles. Hill Harper, award winning actor, best selling author and philanthropist will deliver a dynamic keynote address at the breakfast and sign his latest book. The actor is best known for his numerous prime-time television shows and feature films including CSI: NY. He is the founder of the Manifest Your Destiny Foundation, dedicated to empowering,
encouraging, and inspiring underserved youth to succeed through mentorship, scholarship and grant programs. Harry Lennix, award winning film, television, stage, and radio actor will M.C. the event. The Chicago native has enjoyed a distinguished career as an actor on the big and small screens as well as on the international stage. Some of his most noted performances were in The Five Heartbeats, Ray, The Matrix sequels, Barbershop 2, Stomp the Yard, Commander in Chief, 24, and ER. Harry participates in various programs and events as well as staff, board, advisory positions and lecturing at colleges and universities. The New Directions
Veterans Choir is an award winning a cappella group that sings renditions of doo-wop, soul, traditional gospel and popular music. The choir consists of current and former residents of New Directions' transitional facility comprised of men and women who have served proudly in the United States Military. Another element they have in common: following their service to our country, they became homeless. For more than twenty years Pathways To Your Future (PTYF) has been on the frontline providing comprehensive health, education, and human supportive services to Los Angeles County foster and homeless youth.

more you want to be in it." Know what to keep and what to throw out, adds Barry. If you bring something new into the study space, perhaps it's time to get rid of something old. Barry also suggests keeping a clock and a calendar in the room to reinforce organization and time management. "Make sure it's an analog clock," adds Dubyak. That way your kids can start to gauge how time passes and really see what 15 minutes or an hour means.
And make sure you have enough and the right kind of light to get work done. If your kids study when they get home from school in the afternoon, natural light may be best, says Zohoori. What if the kids study when the sun goes down? "Invest in an LED or even OLED light," he suggests. "They are eco-friendly and can significantly cut down on the eye strain you'll get with fluorescents." To learn about The Art I n s t i t ut e s s c h ool s , vi s i t www.artinstitutes.edu.
LA County Elections Officials Releases "General Voting System Principles" On Monday, the Los Angeles County RegistrarRecorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) moved one step closer to improving voting systems in Los Angeles County. The RR/CC released a set of General Voting System Principles as part of its work through the Voting System Assessment Project (VSAP). The project, and release of these principles, mark an unprecedented shift in voting systems acquisition to a more transparent and customer-oriented process with strong citizen participation. “These principles will help guide the County to select and implement a voting system that voters trust is accessible, accurate and secure and that will help provide the highest level of customer service,” said RegistrarRecorder/County Clerk Dean Logan. The fourteen principles
establish and communicate a set of core values that reflect the diverse needs and preferences of Los Angeles County voters. The principles were informed by voters and stakeholders through data collected from a countywide survey and a series of focus groups. Based on that data, the principles were drafted in collaboration with an advisory committee comprised of experts and advocates from the elections, voting integrity and civil rights communities. The principles address important values critical to a fair, accessible, and transparent electoral process. These include: transparency, flexibility, integrity and ease of use. “The committee worked closely with RR/CC leadership in crafting these principles and ensuring that voter needs were reflected,” said Virginia Mosqueda, Please see Election, page 8

Loretta Devine and Sheryl Lee Ralph Attends Vesta Williams' Homegoing Celebration at West Angeles Church of God In Christ (Continued from page 1) hair-raising emotive twists that brought the house to its feet. Later Bridgette Bryant, in possession of a heavenly soprano, sang an elegantly modulated version of “His Eye is On The Sparrow” that also received a standing ovation yet was less a performance than a transfixing channeling of what Williams surely wanted all gathered to understand about where her spirit faithfully resides – now and forever. However, Ms. Vesta Williams herself had the last musical word via a video of her joyously wailing – in that very church – the welcoming number, “I’m So Glad You’re Here.” As one guest stated of the bravura performance in an exclamation the funny lady would appreciate, “Leave it to
Vesta to turn out her own funeral!” Another attendee concluded, “It was a day of remembrance, sadness, some heartfelt laughter and wonderful musical tributes as many came to say goodbye to Vesta Williams.” Celebrity attendees included: Singers Miki Howard, Freda Payne, Shanice and Sy Smith, actresses Loretta Devine, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jackée Harry and Anna Maria Horsford, director Bill Duke, jazz musicians Lee Ritenour, Harvey Mason and Nathan East (of the super group Fourplay), singer/guitarist Tony Maiden of Rufus, singer/guitarist Sheldon Reynolds (formerly of Earth, Wind & Fire), BET Networks executive Robi Reed, music publisher Brenda Andrews, and many others.

Marina Christian Center Celebrates 21st Anniversary (Continued from page 1) so overwhelmed at the outpouring of support that she, at the leading of the Holy Spirit, deviated and handed the microphone to whomever wanted to express themselves. It was a blessed occasion and Pastor Hatter was taken aback at the admiration shown for the work that she and her husband started in obedience to stepping out on faith after many years of studying and worshipping under the leadership of Dr. Fred K. C. Price at Crenshaw Christian Center in Los Angeles. After the death of her husband in 2006, Dr. Hatter took up the mantle by faith and has never failed to keep on moving forward and staying focused on God’s mission they were called to perform.
Since then, MCC has served to assist other pastors with their churches in helping them build their ministries. MCC, under the leadership of Pastor Hatter, has evolved into a viable resource for the propagation of the gospel through a feeding the homeless ministry and other outreach programs. Pastor Hatter said, “While the work of being a pastor is a huge task, I will not give up because I know that God will see me through no matter the trials and tribulations I am faced with.” I believe the late Dr. Herman Hatter Jr. would be very pleased and proud knowing that his wife continues to hold up the blood stained banner for the cause of Christ, a legacy that he left and she is fulfilling it by the
grace of God and because of her great works on last Friday so many came out as a testament to say, “Well done.” Pa st or Ha t t er h a s touched so many lives as the head of MCC; however, just as these trying economic times has taken a toll on so many churches, Pastor Hatter has been unselfish and has used her creative ability to collaborate and extend MCC out as a venue to those who may need or desire a place to host special occasion banquets, meetings or even worship services. The edifice also has a kitchen, which was used to prepare the delicious meal everyone dined on during MCC’s 21st anniversary. To reserve space at MCC give Pastor Hatter a call at (310) 670-0187

HEALTH/ FAMILY & GREEN NEWS The National CML Society and NBA's All-Time Leading Scorer Team Up Against Leukemia (ARA) - For most people, celebrating a birthday or wedding anniversary simply marks another year passed. But for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, being able to celebrate these events may mean much more another year of life celebrated to the fullest. CML is a blood cancer, or leukemia, which just 12 years ago had a median survival of five to seven years. Today, more people with CML are living out their lives due to significant advances in treatments. In fact, a recent survey of CML patients reveals that since their cancer diagnosis, many CML patients are continuing to enjoy happy milestones.
The 170 respondents to the survey have celebrated 2,800 family birthdays and enjoyed 493 wedding anniversaries. Dr. Michael Mauro, Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Oregon Health & Science University's Knight Cancer Institute, explains: "Research looking at the role of the genetic abnormality responsible for CML, known as the Philadelphia chromosome or 'Bcr-Abl', has led to the development of drugs that block the ability of this abnormal gene to drive production of the leukemic blood cells and has led to improved patient outcomes. For the estimated
The Scourge of Diabetes By Dean L. Jones, C.P.M. Unfortunately, if not inflicted personally, we have family, friends, neighbors or associates that suffer from the diabetes disease. Type 2 diabetes is preventable by paying attention to the food and beverages consumed. Although there is a lot to this disease, this week I received an email from an associate who gracefully shows why health matters. “Hi Dean, Well, I won't be able to meet this month; my life has changed, for the better. I was hospitalized on July 15th and I am still here in the hospital. I lost my left foot due to being diabetic; it was a shock to me, not for losing my foot, but that God is working through me in this way. Even though being diabetic was the shocker, I never question the Lord in how or what happens to me, he works in mysterious ways, but gets his message across to us. I was rather surprised too, but then when the doctors told me I was Diabetic, I understood why I was going through this stage of my life, as he wants me to become a spokesperson for the Diabetic Community. So, I really have no I’ll feelings about my condition. While my foot was amputated I had a mild heart attack, and have been getting it treated until last Friday, when I was due to have a triple bypass, but instead they put 4 stents on my heart to allow more air to flow through the heart. It is a lot I know, but God has been by my side all along, as I am grateful and very blessed. I now have work to do, after the healing process, and that’s to get the word out. I'll soon have another foot so I’ll still be able to get around and be normal, so that’s what God wants me to do.

Dean Jones I am now waiting to go to a rehab facility to continue my treatment, until I get my Prosthetic leg. So that’s my reason for me not attending the POWER Collaborative Network meetings, because I have been dying to get back to work in any way possible. I hope all is still going well for you and the members of the group. By the way I certainly didn’t mean to shock you with this news, sorry, but things like this can and do happen to us, and we accept and try to understand that our Lord is sending us a message and we then do all we can to try and save someone else from being in this position. I truly believe I was chosen to be in this position by God and I’m so blessed. I will be chatting with you soon Dean. Thanks for listening to me, and God Bless You.

28,000 Americans currently living with this disease, working closely with your physician to develop and continually evaluate a treatment strategy allows you to properly manage your disease, while still being able to enjoy the important things in life is vitally important and fortunately needs to be a long-term strategy." The survey also found that these CML patients want to help spread the word about what it's like to live with this disease. Respondents to the survey indicated that they have shared their personal story with over 8,200 other cancer patients. The NBA's All-Time Leading Scorer and CML patient, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, knows firsthand. "As someone living with CML, I know I need to
play an active role in managing my disease. My first step was to work closely with my doctor to really understand my treatment plan. I encourage other CML patients to do the same, by working closely with your doctor to establish clear treatment goals. Managing CML is an ongoing process and it's important to track your progress. If you're not meeting your treatment goals, there are things you and your doctor can do -- like making sure you're on the right medication -- which can help you get back on track." But it's not only those living with CML who want to raise awareness about the disease, as family and friends of these patients are often also affected by a loved one's diagnosis. "I can personally relate to the feelings that loved ones and family members' of CML experience, as my family faced those same feelings in January 2005 when my mother was diagnosed with CML," says Greg Stephens, Founder and Executive Director of the National CML Society.
"It was a scary time in our lives and we sought out information from a variety of sources, which all ended up being more focused on other cancer types and less targeted to CML patients and families than we had hoped for. It is for that very reason that the National CML Society seeks to assist those living with and supporting CML specifically." As part of the CML Society's efforts to support CML and gain national attention for those living with the disease, September 22nd has been designated as CML Awareness Day in the United States. On this day, Americans are encouraged to recognize the advancements made in the treatment of CML and to honor those impacted by the disease.

Starbucks will donate a minimum of $100,000 to each organization for the first year of the partnership as it assesses the success of the program and gathers learning in hopes of creating a new type of corporate engagement in communities, potentially providing a model for other companies to consider emulating. Starbucks is partnering with the Abyssinian Development Corporation (ADC) in Harlem and the Los Angeles Urban League (LAUL) in the Crenshaw neighborhood to create a new kind of private sector engagement with these changemaker organizations that have a proven record in creating progress for disadvantaged communities. “Starbucks is partnering with two organizations doing heroic work to address the economic, social and education challenges in their communities,” said Howard Schultz, president, chairman and ceo, Starbucks Cof-

Ridley-Thomas Calls for County Audit of Coliseum Commission (Continued from page 1) Vice President of the Coliseum Commission. "A thorough and complete audit will ensure that we get the Coliseum back on track and honor its history and the important role it will continue to play in the Los Angeles region," he continued. Ridley-Thomas, a Coliseum Commissioner, also serves on the commission’s Audit and Finance Task Force. The City of Los Angeles Controller is also preparing to audit the commission, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney is investigating som e form er com mi ssi on staffers. The joint motion would
authorize the Auditor-Controller to play a temporary role at the Coliseum, but only if requested. Ridley-Thomas said the scope of challenges at the Coliseum is large enough that “I believe the Coliseum Commissioners will decide the more sets of eyes looking for solutions, the better.” Since 1945, Los Angeles County has participated in the management of the Coliseum with the City of Los Angeles and the State of California through the Joint Exercise of Powers Act. The Joint Powers Act specifies the books of the Commission shall be open to the city, county and state partners.

LA County Elections Officials Releases "General Voting System Principles" (Continued from page 3) Director of Civic Engagement of the California Community Foundation and Chair of the VSAP Advisory Committee. “The richness of Los Angeles County comes from its breadth in diversity and size, the varied perspectives and experiences that the committee brings to the table helped shape a set of principles that could better guide Los Angeles County in meeting the diverse needs of its current and future voters,” added Mosqueda. “The release of the General Voting System Principles marks an important milestone in the County’s efforts to acquire a new voting system for Los Angeles County,” said Logan. “The principles will guide our efforts to prepare a recommendation regarding the type of voting system and an associated acquisition strategy.” The County’s voting system has been in use since 1968, undergoing modernization
upgrades to replace aging technology and comply with new regulations over the years. The VSAP - a multi-year project - is the most significant effort to overhaul the County’s aging voting technology since 1968.

The vision of the VSAP is to identify and implement a new voting system in a transparent and participatory manner that takes into account the needs and expectations of current and future Los Angeles County voters.

Starbucks Announces Store Partnership Model with Community Organizations in Harlem and Los Angeles (Continued from page 7) struggling schools with successful education organizations and implement a strong school turnaround process. “We are honored to work with Starbucks as a beneficiary of one of the first community stores in the nation,” said Sheena Wright, President & CEO of Abyssinian Development Corporation. “We applaud Starbucks for its development of this community store concept, which has the potential to do much good not just in Harlem, but in other similar communities nationwide. This partnership will enable us to expand and improve upon the education and social services we have provided to the Harlem community and beyond for nearly 25 years.” Our store at Crenshaw and Coliseum in Los Angeles opened in 2006 and will now help to bolster LAUL’s efforts to revitalize a defined 70-block area in the Crenshaw neighborhood through Neighborhoods@Work™. This holistic, neighborhood change model focuses on education, safety, housing, health and employment. This strategic initiative has brought targeted resources and interventions to the community of Park Mesa Heights as well as parents, students and teachers at Crenshaw High School which lies at the center of the model. So
far, this has resulted in a 51% increase in overall graduation rate at Crenshaw High School and a 34% decrease in violent crimes in Park Mesa Heights from the 2007 baseline. “Starbucks is taking the lead in very tough economic times. They fully recognize and appreciate the need for collaboration between forward-thinking organizations from the for profit and nonprofit sectors,” said Blair H. Taylor, President and CEO of the Los Angeles Urban League. “This 21st Century partnership makes tremendous sense, since the Los Angeles Urban League is fundamentally committed to t ran sfor m in g com m uni t i es through our holistic model, Neighborhoods@Work™. Howard Schultz has fully embraced the notion of Starbucks playing a vital role in rebuilding communities. Our hope is that this powerful relationship – which allows communities to receive contributions from Starbucks through nonprofit agencies – will be replicated by other companies across the nation.” These stores will also serve as the hub of Starbucks community service and additional training programs in the area, which will provide leadership job and life skill development, positive learning environments, and overall health and wellness.
