Letter to the Editor: ‘Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is not used anywhere in Los Angeles County’

Californians for Energy IndependenceOctober 2, 2018

The September 20 article by Jennifer Bihm contains a significant inaccuracy in the headline and misleading statements in the article itself. The headline states that poor communities in Los Angeles “experience most fracking.” The fact is that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is not used at all anywhere in Los Angeles County. The term refers to a specific method of oil extraction which is not employed by any oil producers in the Los Angeles region. While oil production remains an important part of LA’s economy, the energy that is produced here is done under the strictest health, environmental and safety regulations in the world.

Sentinel Apologizes to Former Compton Mayor Omar Bradley and His Family for inaccurate information in editorial

Sentinel Staff ReportJune 4, 2017

In the June 1, 2017 Edition of The Los Angeles Sentinel we featured an Editorial story titled “Why Mayor Aja Brown Deserves Our Vote”. In this editorial the writer made certain allegations about the Mayors opponent Fmr. Compton Mayor Omar Bradley and his family that were factually incorrect and did not meet the Sentinels historical standard of excellence and was just simply wrong. The truth is Omar Bradley nor any of his family members were ever charged with any crimes related to the solid waste scandal and trying to link Mr. Bradley or any of his family members to this crime is just unfair and should have never been a part of our story.

CORRECTION: Antonio Villegas

August 10, 2016

The July 14, 2016 edition featured an article titled “Black People Will Never Get Justice Until We Change The Law Enforcement Bill of Rights”. The article featured a graphic that displayed several photos of victims who encountered police brutality and photos of the police officers that committed the violent acts. The photo captioned “Antonio Villegas, No Charges Filed,” was incorrect and was not officer Antonio Villegas. The photo displayed was another man who is actually an attorney and shares the same name as Antonio Villegas. We apologize to Atty. Antonio Villegas for any inconvenience this may have caused him or

Vote YES on PROPOSITION A! – Vote YES on PROPOSITION A! – Vote YES on PROPOSITION A!

Super User IIFebruary 21, 2013

EDITORIAL CORRECTION Vote YES on PROPOSITION A! This week’s L.A. Sentinel Voters slate incorrectly stated that we encouraged you to vote No on Proposition A. This was an editorial mistake and the L.A. Sentinel believes that voting YES on Proposition A is best for Our Community and best for the city overall. Voting YES on Proposition A would bring much needed resources to the city and ultimately to our community. In these difficult financial times, with cities receiving limited financial support from the state and federal government, it is only through sales tax and other

CORRECTION In an article in the Sentinel entitled “Audrey Collins, the Chief Judge,” it was mistakenly stated: “Judge Audrey Collins is the first African American to occupy that office.” That was incorrect. Judge Collins has informed us, “I am not the first African-American chief judge of the Central District of California. In fact, I am the third African-American chief judge. “The first African-American chief judge is Chief Judge Emeritus Terry Hatter; the second African-American chief judge, and the first African-American woman chief judge, is Chief Judge Emerita Consuelo Marshall.” We regret the inconvenience. Judge Collins is a well-respected jurist and

06-27-08 SPORTS – BASEBALL The article " Hart Leaves Unique Mark at Crenshaw" initially reported that Cameron Hart graduated Crenshaw High School as valedictorian, but in fact, Hart graduated No. 3 in his class with a 4.127 grade point average by Los Angeles Unified School District standards. According to University of California standards, which weighs grade point average differently, it rises to 4.3 and that was the basis for the report. We apologize for the error and to the seniors who were valedictorian and salutatorian at Crenshaw as well as their families. The story has been re-edited with the correct

Five and Fly: Bonds prays with Jesse Jackson

Jeff Passan, Contributing WriterJuly 19, 2007

CHICAGO – For 15 minutes Monday afternoon, the visitors clubhouse at Wrigley Field, already hallowed ground among the baseball set, turned into a true house of worship. While the San Francisco Giants took batting practice, Barry Bonds remained inside the cramped quarters, joined by an old friend, the Rev. Jesse Jackson. And together, they prayed. For Bonds’ balky knees, which kept him out of the lineup Monday, to heal? For Bud Selig, baseball’s commissioner, to end the charade and announce he will attend as Bonds reaches Hank Aaron’s all-time home run record? For peace on earth? Good will toward men?
