County officials call a \"major barrier\" to helping the homeless quickly and effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bill 210, written by Assemblyman Miguel Santiago of Los Angeles, would allow county agencies to share some information about homeless clients with each other. It would also allow workers in various agencies to collaborate to get a person housed. The bill, which unanimously passed the California State Assembly last month, heads to the Senate on Tuesday for its first hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, said Phil Ansell, head of L.A. County's homeless initiative, state law goes well beyond federal privacy protections when it comes to sharing information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The current restrictions are a major barrier,\" Ansell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, the county's Chief Executive Office has compiled information on homeless individuals who are incurring high costs by using public hospital emergency rooms and other county services at high rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we're not allowed to share the information that we have about those people with the various agencies that are engaged with them,\" Ansell said. \"They impede our ability to maximize collaboration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"jnvIlh87e9IaglF9N6cJtuBH7Mk8Xfl6\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the law passes, a homeless service provider who encounters a person on the street could quickly learn whether the person already has a mental health provider, is on probation, or is involved with the child welfare agency. That, in turn, would mean being able to quickly identify the appropriate supports for that person -- such as housing programs available only to probationers or mental health clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, county workers, encountering an individual who is homeless, could reach out to service providers for help with housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santiago said the bill is a must-pass as L.A. County dramatically ramps up its resources for fighting homelessness. Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax for homeless services, kicks in Oct. 1, though the county will begin spending its projected revenues in July. Proposition HHH, a city bond measure, will also provide $120 million annually for constructing homeless housing over the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So as all these resources are coming online, the county has the inability to coordinate between departments and agencies on the issue of homelessness,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about privacy protections for the homeless individuals, Ansell said the same confidentiality and privacy protections would apply to their health and welfare information, but more individuals would have access to the information. The county would also still be bound by any federal privacy protections on health information.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A few years later, he found his first job helping out at the carousel on weekends. And he found something else he’d been looking for in its owner, Warren Deasy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up without my dad,” Gosdinski tells me as we sit on a bench near the carousel. “My mom was my dad and mom. I mean, my mom did such a great job. But you still need that father, that relationship. And I think I developed that with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Deasy and his partner, Rosemary West, became the young man’s second family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Warren was such a caring person,” he remembers. “I mean, there's no words that can describe how much he meant to a lot of us. He walked one of the girls down the aisle when she got married. Every Father's Day I would give him a card. I looked up to him, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Deasy passed away in 2011, he left his employee an incredible gift: half of the carousel. To say Gosdinski was surprised is an understatement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had mentioned it before, but I was young, and like 'oh, you're gonna live forever,' you know? But when it happened I was like, wow, really! Wow!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Gosdinski and West are partners. She takes care of maintaining the horses and carousel and has beautifully restored the hand-painted scenes. Gosdinski handles the day-to-day tasks: selling tickets, operating the machinery and greeting the hundreds of children who visit each day. Many of them are regulars who have been coming back for years and return to ride even as adults. Gosdinski knows many of his customers by name, and they greet him like an old friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each morning, before he opens up for the day, Gosdinski loads the paper rolls that play the music pumped out by the carousel’s Stinson 165 Military Band Organ. There are hundreds of rolls to choose from in boxes stacked on shelves from floor to ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11514952\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11514952\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paper rolls play music on the carousel’s vintage organ.

I'm like, 'damn you, Diablo!'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11514955\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11514955\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25713_Carousel_10_Tickets-qut-1-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The carousel’s original ticket booth \u003ccite>(Photo by Anny Celsi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Gosdinski moved to Los Angeles from Peru when he was 12 years old. A few years later, he found his first job helping out at the carousel on weekends. And he found something else he’d been looking for in its owner, Warren Deasy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grew up without my dad,” Gosdinski tells me as we sit on a bench near the carousel. “My mom was my dad and mom. I mean, my mom did such a great job. But you still need that father, that relationship. And I think I developed that with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Deasy and his partner, Rosemary West, became the young man’s second family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Warren was such a caring person,” he remembers. “I mean, there's no words that can describe how much he meant to a lot of us. He walked one of the girls down the aisle when she got married. Every Father's Day I would give him a card. I looked up to him, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Deasy passed away in 2011, he left his employee an incredible gift: half of the carousel. To say Gosdinski was surprised is an understatement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He had mentioned it before, but I was young, and like 'oh, you're gonna live forever,' you know? But when it happened I was like, wow, really! Wow!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Gosdinski and West are partners. She takes care of maintaining the horses and carousel and has beautifully restored the hand-painted scenes. Gosdinski handles the day-to-day tasks: selling tickets, operating the machinery and greeting the hundreds of children who visit each day. Many of them are regulars who have been coming back for years and return to ride even as adults. Gosdinski knows many of his customers by name, and they greet him like an old friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each morning, before he opens up for the day, Gosdinski loads the paper rolls that play the music pumped out by the carousel’s Stinson 165 Military Band Organ. There are hundreds of rolls to choose from in boxes stacked on shelves from floor to ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11514952\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11514952\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/06/RS25716_Carousel_07_Music_Rolls-qut-1-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paper rolls play music on the carousel’s vintage organ.

"content": "\u003cp>Looking back at the 1992 Los Angeles riots, people often remember tensions between African-Americans, white law enforcement officers and Korean small-business owners. That story gets even more complicated when you step into Pico-Union — a neighborhood that was, and still is, predominantly Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Rodney King verdict, riots broke out around the city. The first day, they erupted in South Central; by the second, they had spread north to Pico-Union. And while people all over the city had to deal with looting, fires and general chaos, many residents of Pico Union had to deal with an additional fear — the threat of deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Lfts020aCRBQQPItCHFHG6sHK0BAyGmz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Hernandez was the neighborhood's city councilman in 1992. He said that in the 25 years since the riots, Pico-Union hasn't changed that much. The area is still more than 80 percent Latino, with lots of immigrant families from Mexico and Central America. And, in 1992, a majority of Pico-Union constituents were living below the poverty line in crowded conditions. Hernandez said he knew long before the riots started that Pico-Union was just as combustible as South Central L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had twice the density here of Manhattan,\" Hernandez said. \"And our fire station here, Fire Station 11, was the busiest fire station in the nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the midst of the burning and looting, Hernandez said the few law enforcement officers who made it to Pico-Union were not protecting and serving. He partially blamed it on the fact that in the early 1990s, \"Latino\" was often synonymous with \"illegal\" in California. In a 1992 interview, he told NPR that his request for reinforcement during the unrest didn't get him the results he wanted. \"The response to me when I said I needed the National Guard to protect the people of the area and I needed to protect the businesses and protect the homes, they gave me the Border Patrol. It was totally an insult,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11430116\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11430116\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/pico-union-img_2240_custom-bd719b7fd8a74479207699263dadd75c74b67218-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Former City Councilman Mike Hernandez visits the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles 25 years after the riots.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former City Councilman Mike Hernandez visits the Pico-Union neighborhood of Los Angeles 25 years after the riots. \u003ccite>(Shereen Marisol Meraji/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hernandez doesn't deny that people in Pico-Union were among the looters, but he said he saw people taking basics, like food and diapers. The vast majority of his constituents were scared out of their minds and hiding in their homes. The rioting and chaos, he said, triggered past trauma for many of the Central American immigrants who had fled civil war. And the presence of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which included the Border Patrol back then, seemed to be fueling that fear — with good reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"WOK5TDFsZXVkbT3fxGLptGo4tOk1Qi3o\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents gathered during the Webster Commission, the FBI's months-long investigation into the Los Angeles Police Department's response to the riots, included \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1992-05-20/local/me-325_1_police-commission\">declarations\u003c/a> from Pico-Union residents. Many of them were arrested by the LAPD for illegally residing in the U.S. and turned over to the INS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the L.A. riots, Madeline Janis ran a Pico-Union based non-profit called \u003ca href=\"http://www.carecen-la.org/press\">CARECEN\u003c/a> (Central American Resource Center), which is still in the neighborhood and provides multiple services to immigrants. In the aftermath of the unrest, Janis, an attorney, helped a couple of dozen people facing deportation — people like Martha Campos, a Salvadoran woman arrested by the LAPD at 3 in the afternoon on April 30, 1992, while drinking a fruit juice in front of a convenience store.

That story gets even more complicated when you step into Pico-Union — a neighborhood that was, and still is, predominantly Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Rodney King verdict, riots broke out around the city. The first day, they erupted in South Central; by the second, they had spread north to Pico-Union. And while people all over the city had to deal with looting, fires and general chaos, many residents of Pico Union had to deal with an additional fear — the threat of deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Hernandez was the neighborhood's city councilman in 1992. He said that in the 25 years since the riots, Pico-Union hasn't changed that much. The area is still more than 80 percent Latino, with lots of immigrant families from Mexico and Central America. And, in 1992, a majority of Pico-Union constituents were living below the poverty line in crowded conditions. Hernandez said he knew long before the riots started that Pico-Union was just as combustible as South Central L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had twice the density here of Manhattan,\" Hernandez said. \"And our fire station here, Fire Station 11, was the busiest fire station in the nation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He partially blamed it on the fact that in the early 1990s, \"Latino\" was often synonymous with \"illegal\" in California. In a 1992 interview, he told NPR that his request for reinforcement during the unrest didn't get him the results he wanted. \"The response to me when I said I needed the National Guard to protect the people of the area and I needed to protect the businesses and protect the homes, they gave me the Border Patrol.

The vast majority of his constituents were scared out of their minds and hiding in their homes. The rioting and chaos, he said, triggered past trauma for many of the Central American immigrants who had fled civil war. And the presence of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which included the Border Patrol back then, seemed to be fueling that fear — with good reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents gathered during the Webster Commission, the FBI's months-long investigation into the Los Angeles Police Department's response to the riots, included \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1992-05-20/local/me-325_1_police-commission\">declarations\u003c/a> from Pico-Union residents. Many of them were arrested by the LAPD for illegally residing in the U.S. and turned over to the INS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the L.A. riots, Madeline Janis ran a Pico-Union based non-profit called \u003ca href=\"http://www.carecen-la.org/press\">CARECEN\u003c/a> (Central American Resource Center), which is still in the neighborhood and provides multiple services to immigrants. In the aftermath of the unrest, Janis, an attorney, helped a couple of dozen people facing deportation — people like Martha Campos, a Salvadoran woman arrested by the LAPD at 3 in the afternoon on April 30, 1992, while drinking a fruit juice in front of a convenience store. At the time, Campos was 18 years old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"An officer demanded to know my name, if I had any immigration papers and what country I was from,\" Campos said in her declaration, taken after two weeks in immigration detention at Terminal Island in San Pedro.

At the event where Garcetti signed the executive directive, Beck told the audience that crime reporting has dropped significantly in Latino communities this year over fear that interacting with local law enforcement may lead to deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/525188083/525188084\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrant rights activists in 1992, and a new generation of activists today, don't think the order goes far enough to protect L.A.'s immigrants — no matter how it's implemented. Many in California's immigrant rights movement are calling for zero cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement. (And a bill under consideration in the state Legislature may decide that issue statewide.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti said he's trying to quell fears stoked in L.A.'s immigrant communities by President Trump's calls for more cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. \"So to make our city safer, we're focused on keeping those bridges from being burned down right now,\" Garcetti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But 25 years ago, when Los Angeles was burning, Special Order 40 appears to have been an afterthought amid the chaos. Garcetti said that this new generation of police officers understand the need for Special Order 40 from both moral and practical terms. Garcetti said that it's one thing to have a policy on the books, \"but it's another thing to make sure that it's enforced, and enforced by \u003cem>everybody\u003c/em>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor added that we continue to learn lessons from the L.A. riots 25 years later. \"We're not perfect, but in this imperfect paradise that we call Los Angeles, I think we're better and more resilient because of what we went through in 1992.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Floyd Maxey stares at the computer screen currently flickering with all the evidence of his high school career's rocky start: a B in one class, D's in three others -- and an F.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sitting next to him in the computer lab, his mentor clicks into the page detailing the high school freshman's current D in algebra. \"How's Ms. Ruiz's class been going?\" asks the mentor, 23-year-old Eleanor Kim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ms. Eleanor, I don't like that class,\" Floyd groans. \"It's hard up in there.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You should be asking for help,\" replies Kim, an AmeriCorps member for an education-focused service organization called City Year. This school year, Kim has worked as a mentor and tutor to Floyd and 10 other freshman at the South L.A. charter high school he attends, Locke College Preparatory Academy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't get it the way [my math teacher] explains it,\" Floyd replies. Kim offers a few suggestions, including simply asking Ms. Ruiz for help after school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She needs to know,\" Kim advises Floyd, \"that you want to improve.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcrmag/2017/03/2017-03-31b-tcrmag.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/FloydMaxey-800x555.jpg\" Title=\"The Long Road to College From the 'At-Risk' List in High School\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Floyd has taken huge steps to improve from what was a disastrous first semester of high school, when Floyd would skip school for days or even weeks at a time. His grades last semester were even worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Floyd -- who says he's hoped to attend college since he was 8 years old -- knows his current grades aren't guaranteed to get him there. At University of California or California State University campuses, students need at least C's to qualify for admission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And University of Oregon education professor David Conley, who has studied the transition from high school to college since the 1990s, says decent grades and regular attendance are only preliminary steps toward higher education. It's the next steps that are often the hardest for ninth graders, especially for low-income students or students of color. (Most students at Floyd's school receive free or reduced lunch; practically all are Asian or Latino.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conley says, in surveys, between 80 and 90 percent of entering ninth graders report hoping to achieve at least a bachelors degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time they graduate, students from middle- and upper-middle-class backgrounds tend to report even higher aspirations: \"In other words, by the end of high school they don’t just want to go to college, they want to go to grad school,\" Conley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income students and students from underrepresented minority groups report the opposite trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Over the four years of high school, their aspirations go down. By the end of high school, they’re talking about maybe community college or just going to work or going into the military. So you’ve got this divergence of aspirations occurring over a four-year period.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference has to do with all the next steps Floyd will have to complete in order to get to college: figuring out why he wants to attend college and what he wants to study, finding the right school to attend, arranging financial aid and perhaps taking an entrance exam like the SAT or ACT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But economically privileged students tend to have adult help and life experience necessary to tackle those challenges. Less-privileged students, Conley says, tend to get less help, leaving some discouraged or unsure of how to pay for college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Floyd says he's ready to do \"what he's gotta do,\" as he puts it, to get his grades up and get to college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been tired of being in trouble -- getting bad grades and stuff like that,\" says Floyd. \"It's like God just talked to me, touched me, or something -- just told me to go to school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Football Helps With Focus\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Floyd's college aspirations are rooted in one desire: to play professional football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Football's my life,\" he says. \"It’s something I want to do for the rest of my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He’s wanted to play football ever since he was a kid in elementary school,\" says John Maxey, Floyd's father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in his early years, Floyd dreamed of donning pads for the University of Southern California. Now he dreams of playing for other schools with storied football programs: the University of Oregon or Clemson University, in South Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd played on Locke's junior varsity football team last year, and hopes to make the varsity squad next year. \"I think it focuses him,\" his father says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On some level, Floyd has always known playing college football would require actually getting into college. But when he entered high school, daunted by harder classes, he decided to start \"ditching\" school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right there, I was, like, forget school,\" Floyd says, explaining his thinking. \"Forget college and stuff. Like, I can’t do this no more. I can’t be nobody that I’m not. I’m not that type of person. School’s just not for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd says it wasn't just the difficulty of the courses that prompted him to miss so much school. People in his neighborhood, just west of the 110 Freeway from Watts, would cajole him into skipping school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, John Maxey, who's 79 years old and retired, began to notice the absences piling up. Floyd offered his excuses, but John would get on his son's case about hanging out with people he felt would lead Floyd astray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, on a day Floyd was skipping class, his father saw Floyd walking down the street going to get something to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My dad saw me in his car,\" Floyd says, \"and I was like, like, 'Dang, I really got caught.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I told him to get his butt out of there and get to school,\" his father remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd says, in that moment, something clicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want my dad to be proud of me,\" he says. \"I want to be like my sister and go to college.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>From 'Focus List' to Turnaround\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>City Year's assessments had identified Floyd as a candidate for extra help months before he was ready to accept it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd's sporadic attendance, tendency to goof off in class and his academic performance in core subjects like reading and math landed him on what's known as the \"focus list.\" That designation means that, while Floyd wasn't severely off-track during his first semester, he was still far enough behind in school that he required extra attention. (City Year believes students with high levels of need require the instruction of credentialed educators.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleanor Kim is one of 288 AmeriCorps members working in 28 L.A. schools through City Year. In the fall, mentors like Kim selected between eight and 12 \"focus list\" students with whom they'd work closely throughout the year. Across L.A. this year, City Year volunteers are helping more than 2,800 \"focus list\" students and interacting with more than 12,000 students in classrooms or after school programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim says Floyd's math teacher initially suggested she take him on as a mentee -- but like his teachers, Kim didn't see much of him during his first semester.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent weeks, Floyd has taken huge steps to improve from what was a disastrous first semester of high school, when Floyd would skip school for days or even weeks at a time. His grades last semester were even worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Floyd -- who says he's hoped to attend college since he was 8 years old -- knows his current grades aren't guaranteed to get him there. At University of California or California State University campuses, students need at least C's to qualify for admission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And University of Oregon education professor David Conley, who has studied the transition from high school to college since the 1990s, says decent grades and regular attendance are only preliminary steps toward higher education. It's the next steps that are often the hardest for ninth graders, especially for low-income students or students of color. (Most students at Floyd's school receive free or reduced lunch; practically all are Asian or Latino.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conley says, in surveys, between 80 and 90 percent of entering ninth graders report hoping to achieve at least a bachelors degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time they graduate, students from middle- and upper-middle-class backgrounds tend to report even higher aspirations: \"In other words, by the end of high school they don’t just want to go to college, they want to go to grad school,\" Conley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low-income students and students from underrepresented minority groups report the opposite trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Over the four years of high school, their aspirations go down. By the end of high school, they’re talking about maybe community college or just going to work or going into the military. So you’ve got this divergence of aspirations occurring over a four-year period.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference has to do with all the next steps Floyd will have to complete in order to get to college: figuring out why he wants to attend college and what he wants to study, finding the right school to attend, arranging financial aid and perhaps taking an entrance exam like the SAT or ACT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But economically privileged students tend to have adult help and life experience necessary to tackle those challenges. Less-privileged students, Conley says, tend to get less help, leaving some discouraged or unsure of how to pay for college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Floyd says he's ready to do \"what he's gotta do,\" as he puts it, to get his grades up and get to college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've been tired of being in trouble -- getting bad grades and stuff like that,\" says Floyd. \"It's like God just talked to me, touched me, or something -- just told me to go to school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Football Helps With Focus\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Floyd's college aspirations are rooted in one desire: to play professional football.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Football's my life,\" he says. \"It’s something I want to do for the rest of my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He’s wanted to play football ever since he was a kid in elementary school,\" says John Maxey, Floyd's father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in his early years, Floyd dreamed of donning pads for the University of Southern California. Now he dreams of playing for other schools with storied football programs: the University of Oregon or Clemson University, in South Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd played on Locke's junior varsity football team last year, and hopes to make the varsity squad next year. \"I think it focuses him,\" his father says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On some level, Floyd has always known playing college football would require actually getting into college. But when he entered high school, daunted by harder classes, he decided to start \"ditching\" school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right there, I was, like, forget school,\" Floyd says, explaining his thinking. \"Forget college and stuff. Like, I can’t do this no more. I can’t be nobody that I’m not. I’m not that type of person. School’s just not for me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd says it wasn't just the difficulty of the courses that prompted him to miss so much school. People in his neighborhood, just west of the 110 Freeway from Watts, would cajole him into skipping school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, John Maxey, who's 79 years old and retired, began to notice the absences piling up. Floyd offered his excuses, but John would get on his son's case about hanging out with people he felt would lead Floyd astray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, on a day Floyd was skipping class, his father saw Floyd walking down the street going to get something to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My dad saw me in his car,\" Floyd says, \"and I was like, like, 'Dang, I really got caught.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I told him to get his butt out of there and get to school,\" his father remembers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd says, in that moment, something clicked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want my dad to be proud of me,\" he says. \"I want to be like my sister and go to college.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>From 'Focus List' to Turnaround\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>City Year's assessments had identified Floyd as a candidate for extra help months before he was ready to accept it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd's sporadic attendance, tendency to goof off in class and his academic performance in core subjects like reading and math landed him on what's known as the \"focus list.\" That designation means that, while Floyd wasn't severely off-track during his first semester, he was still far enough behind in school that he required extra attention. (City Year believes students with high levels of need require the instruction of credentialed educators.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eleanor Kim is one of 288 AmeriCorps members working in 28 L.A. schools through City Year. In the fall, mentors like Kim selected between eight and 12 \"focus list\" students with whom they'd work closely throughout the year. Across L.A. this year, City Year volunteers are helping more than 2,800 \"focus list\" students and interacting with more than 12,000 students in classrooms or after school programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim says Floyd's math teacher initially suggested she take him on as a mentee -- but like his teachers, Kim didn't see much of him during his first semester. Like Floyd's father, she too found him once on the sidewalks near the school at a time he should've been in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kim says she sees Floyd much more often -- not only in the literacy class where she works with him daily, but in City Year's after school tutoring program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At their report card conference, Kim asks why Floyd is having such a hard time focusing in math.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always talk\" with friends in the class, Floyd says -- an unhelpful distraction, he admits. \"And then the work be hard, so I don’t got nothing to do but talk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was a main reason why Floyd began skipping school in the first place -- he folded when classes got hard. Eleanor pushes him to tough it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You’re going to make a commitment to improve,\" Kim tells him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before she concludes, she adds some good news. Floyd may still have D's, but in several classes, his grade is so close to a C that he could likely improve by asking teachers about making up missing assignments or retaking tests he'd flunked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those are so close to a C,\" Kim says, surveying his report card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Maxey says he still feels Floyd has a long way to go.

At the center of the park is a small lake, and it's not most people's idea of a picturesque fishing spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was there that the California Ghetto Carping club caught a record breaking fish this week -- a 50-pound carp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You got hundreds of homeless there,\" says Sergio Talavera (or \"Big Serg\") the president of the fishing club. \"Every time we get there, we have to make sure that we're not going to be sitting on needles. You see the syringes floating in the water, on the ground. It's just one of those parks that where they tell you, the sun goes down there, you better get out of there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talavera and his fellow club members are proud to fish for carp in some of Los Angeles' less desirable spots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Any park in Los Angeles that the normal fisherman will not go, we will go,\" Talavera says. \"We grew up in this kind of environment, so it's no big deal to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/521954082/521954083\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Club member Eddie Salmeron caught the massive fish. He was fishing and chatting with Talavera when he got a bite -- and it was a big one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I set the hook, and that was when the whole fight began,\" Salmeron says. \"My forearms started feeling it, my back started feeling it, my biceps felt everything. It was just -- it was the longest 10 minutes of my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fish was so big that at first, Salmeron couldn't reel it in. So he kept tension on the line and waited for the fish to tire out. Finally, it was 12 yards away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Big Serg saw it and that's when he screamed, 'Ed, it's huge! It's a monster!' and I started shaking,\" Salmeron says. \"I starting getting tunnel vision. I couldn't focus on nothing else.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a 50-pound carp in the middle of L.A. The fish was so big it barely fit in the net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This fish was so massive, it was huggable,\" Salmeron says. \"It looked like those big teddy bears that you get on the carnival rides when you win 'em, the big fat plumpy ones -- that's how fat that fish was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for any fishermen and women out there, you might want to add L.A.'s MacArthur Park to the list of possible vacations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you go, you have a chance at a 50-pounder -- the California Ghetto Carping club is strictly catch-and-release. That massive, huggable fish is swimming at the bottom of MacArthur Park Lake right now, getting even bigger. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

So he kept tension on the line and waited for the fish to tire out. Finally, it was 12 yards away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Big Serg saw it and that's when he screamed, 'Ed, it's huge!

The fish was so big it barely fit in the net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This fish was so massive, it was huggable,\" Salmeron says. \"It looked like those big teddy bears that you get on the carnival rides when you win 'em, the big fat plumpy ones -- that's how fat that fish was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for any fishermen and women out there, you might want to add L.A.'s MacArthur Park to the list of possible vacations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you go, you have a chance at a 50-pounder -- the California Ghetto Carping club is strictly catch-and-release.
