Court
Restrains
Pastor
According to court docu-
ments obtained by Street Hype,
the Board of Trustees and the
members alleged that Plummer
with the help of other church
officers misappropriated and
embezzled church funds and had
taken over sole control of all the
church assets.
The members also claimed
that Plummer had entered into an
agreement with an associate on
behalf of the church without con-
sulting the trustees and he had
refused to provide a financial
accounting of the church's assets
and funds with an estimated
value of nearly $1 million.
The parties had attempted to
settle the dispute through Court
supervised negotiations but
failed to reach an agreement.
Justice Allison Tuitte of the
Bronx Supreme Court recently
issued a Temporary Restraining
Order preventing pastor
Plummer from taking any further
actions including transfering the
titles of the
church's real or
personal proper-
ties to anyone.
The court also
decided that
Plummer acted
u n i l a t e r a l l y
when he entered
into the agree-
ment on behalf of the church and
declared that agreement null and
void.
He was further ordered to
present a written financial
accounting of the church's assets
to the members and to comply by
the laws governing the Religious
and Not-for-Profit Corporations
and church documents.
Pastor Plummer was
unavailable for comments, how-
ever David Harvey, the church's
clerk says he is disappointed with
the turn of events but remains
optimistic the situation can be
resolved in an amicable and
Godlike manner.

W
e are joining the millions of peo-
ple in the US and all over the
world in celebrating Sunday, May 12,
2013 as Mother's Day.
This is a celebration honoring moth-
ers and motherhood, maternal bonds,
and the influence of mothers in society.
Mothers Day which complements
Father's Day (June 16), a similar celebra-
tion honoring fathers, but attracts much
more support as everybody and their
mother, join the celebration.
Especially among our culture, peo-
ple are always willing and ready to
demonstrate a genuine appreciation for
their mothers.
It is no surprise that an estimated
60% of the African American families
are headed by single-mothers.
Most of these mothers are usually
poor with average education, yet in most
cases they manage to provide for their
children with limited support from the
fathers.
As American families continue to
struggle with various social and econom-
ic issues, our mothers remain the tower
of strength and continue to feed, protect
and educate the children.
While we should never ignore the
significant contributions of our fathers,
thousands of our moms especially in
families without dads are taking on the
burden of maintaining an entire family
with little support from the biological
fathers.
It would appear that our single-
mothers are doing just fine without
fathers in the household, but research has
shown that in several cases dads
absence has a negative impact on the
children.
Let us face the facts, no one person
man or woman can cope with the emo-
tional and financial needs of any family.
Nevertheless, all is not lost for
mothers, as demographic data are now
showing more women graduating from
colleges and earning more money. This
is a good start in helping especially to
balance the financial contribution of the
partners.
As we show respect and honor to our
mothers, as a society we should continue
to empower our women as an equal part-
ner in the family.
P
ower is the ability to change the
behaviors, beliefs, or attitudes of
others based on an individuals person-
al authority or the authority inherent in
the position the individual occupies in
an organization.
Social influence is the ability to
change the behaviors, beliefs, or atti-
tudes of others based on the pressure to
conform created by a group.
A formal leader can exert influence
over the group or team based on the
power inherent in the position of team
leader.
In a team, the members exert influ-
ence over each other based on their
ability to use social influence. In a
group, the ability to use social influence
is minimal because the group members
do not have close relationships with
each other.
Two types of power are available to
a formal leader of a group or team. The
leader can have personal power, which
is based on the characteristics or per-
sonality of the individual.
The leader gains influence over
others in the team because they recog-
nize the importance of the characteris-
tics or personality for leadership.
With personal power, the leader
persuades others to change their behav-
iors, attitudes, or beliefs.
The leader can also have positional
power, which is based on the leaders
position in the organization. The leader
has influence over the team because of
the benefits or consequences the leader
can dispense for complying with direc-
tives.
When the leader exercises position-
al power, followers change their behav-
iors to gain a reward or avoid negative
consequences, but underlying attitudes
and beliefs may remain unchanged.
In some teams relying on rotating
leadership and no formally appointed
leader, positional power is generally
very weak. Personal and positional
power stems from different sources.

in the Rego Park section of Queens,
has been charged with sexuallyabusing a
female patient of his between September
17, 2012 and April 9, 2013.
The Queens District Attorney Richard
A Brown recently identified the defendant

zance and ordered to return to court on
June 20, 2013. If convicted Yavru-Sakuk

repeatedly, without her consent.
It should be noted that a criminal
complaint is merely an a ccusation and that

News Americas, NYC:
T
he icing on the cake of dismay for many
Guyanese and Caribbean nationals in
New York City, the U.S. and even Guyana
this week, was the slapping of embezzlement
and obstruction of justice charges on New
York lawmaker, Guyanese-American State
Senator, John Sampson. It marked number
five in a list of notable Guyanese who have
recently been arrested and charged with
fraud.
Sampson, 47, who was a former head of
the New York State Senates ethnic commit-
tee and represents the 19th Senate District in
southeastern Brooklyn, which comprises
Crown Heights, East Flatbush, as well as
portions of Brownsville, Canarsie and Spring
Creek Towers, areas that are largely home to
many Caribbean immigrants, was charged in
federal court in Brooklyn on May 5th with
embezzlement and obstruction of justice.
Interestingly enough, his charges are
apparently linked to another Guyanese, for-
mer realtor and Richmond Hill mogul, Edul
Ahmad, who is set to be jailed on a multi-
million dollar mortgage fraud and seemingly
squealed on Sampson after copping to a plea
deal.
Ahmad, 44, pleaded guilty last year to a
mortgage fraud scheme in which he and oth-
ers fraudulently obtained more than $50 mil-
lion in loans. In so doing, he avoided a trial
and a sentencing date has not been set.
In the Sampson indictment, Ahmad is
referred to only as The Associate. But
sources say it is Ahmad, the once flamboyant
businessman, who flashed around in a yellow
Lamborghini and handed off wads of cash to
the campaigns of many local politicians and
some in Guyana as well.
The U.S. federal indictment against the
NY State Senator alleges that he asked the
associate for $188,500. The money, at
Sampsons direction, allegedly was paid in
the form of three bank checks payable to
third parties.
Sampson characterized the Associate
Transaction to the Associate, as a loan that
he would repay but took this loan without
written documentation or any rate of interest,
the indictment further claims. He also never
repaid The Associate. Further, Sampson
concealed the Associate Transaction by
lying on his Senate financial disclosure
forms, falsely claiming that he had incurred
no liabilities in excess of $5,000 or gifts or
income in excess of $1,000, the indictment
said.
Then in the summer of 2011, after the
United States Attorneys Office for the
Eastern District of New York filed bank and
wire fraud charges against the Associate in
relation to a mortgage fraud scheme and he
was arrested, Sampson is alleged to have
engaged in a multifaceted scheme to obstruct
justice and to prevent the Associate from
cooperating with law enforcement authorities
or disclosing Sampsons criminal conduct.
But the Guyanese alleged fraud trend
does not stop there.
Late last year, the Guyana-born owner
of the now defunct airline, EZJet, Sonny
Ramdeo, was arrested and charged. He is
now in jail, in Florida, awaiting an October
trial for embezzling $20 million from his
former employer in a payroll tax fraud
scheme from as early as 2005 from Promise
Healthcare Inc. and Success Healthcare
Group, where he worked as the payroll
supervisor.
Also last year, Queens district leader
and two-time candidate for the City
Council, Guyana-born attorney, Albert
Baldeo, was arrested. He is now facing
charges for campaign-finance improprieties.
And last month, another well known
Guyana-born attorney, Michael Gangadeen,
was charged by the Queens DAs office. He
is now facing charges of conspiring to com-
mit mortgage fraud and larceny from Wells
Fargo Bank by fraudulently obtaining mort-
gage funds in excess of $3.3 million

Bomb scare grounds
Caribbean Airlines
flight from Miami
A
Miami-Dade police department
bomb squad was called out to check
a suspicious package Thursday afternoon
outside the gate of a Kingston-bound
Caribbean Airlines flight at Miami
International Airport.
Miami Airport and US aviation
authorities grounded and searched CAL
flight 483 after a ticking noise was report-
edly heard coming from luggage aboard
the aircraft. The incident was confirmed
by Rabindra Moonan, chairman of CAL.
An airport spokesman said the suspi-
cious package was discovered around
3:00 in the afternoon. Mr. Moonan said
the flight was due to leave Miami for
Trinidad via Kingston when the situation
occurred.
As a precautionary measure aviation
authorities ordered passengers to disem-
bark and Concourse J of Miami
International Airport was evacuated as
they investigated. Mr. Moonan said there
was some hysteria when a passenger
returned to the plane, apparently to
retrieve a laptop computer.
Ten flights were delayed and two
incoming flights were diverted to other
gates. He said the owner of the suitcase
from which the ticking noise was heard
was found. The luggage had been trans-
ferred from another aircraft. He said the
owner told authorities the noise was com-
ing from a musical instrument. The CAL
flight was eventually allowed to leave.

friends at a beach about three kilometres
(1.6 miles) southeast of Willemstad.

P
ersons who lost money from invest-
ments in companies operated by David
A. Smith, doing business as Overseas
Locket International Corporation
("OLINT"), and related companies may be
eligible to receive compensation, accord-
ing to a release from the United States
Department of Justice.
Smith claimed that the companies
were private investment clubs that pur-
portedly traded in foreign currency on
investors' behalf. Smith made false and
fraudulent statements indicating that
members could expect high returns on
their investment with low risk to principal.
Rather than investing the funds as
promised, Smith used them for personal
gain and paid returns using new investors'
money, in a classic Ponzi scheme.
Smith was convicted in the U.S.
District Court for the Middle District of
Florida in September 2011 on multiple
counts of wire fraud and money launder-
ing, in the case of United States v. David
A. Smith, No. 6:10-cr-232-35DAB (M.D.
Fla.). As part of his criminal sentence,
Smith was ordered to forfeit assets seized
by federal authorities.
The forfeited funds will be returned to
victims of the scheme through a process
called Remission.
To be considered for
Remission, a Petition for
Remission Form must be

were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011meaning that they
are eligible to vote.
Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 3.2% of
the states population (or 625,000 people) in 2010, according
to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
17.5% (or 1,480,072) of all registered voters in New
York are New Americansnaturalized citizens or the
U.S.-born children of immigrants who were raised during the
current era of immigration from Latin America and Asia
which began in 1965according to an analysis of 2008
Census Bureau data by Rob Paral & Associates.
Latinos and Asians comprise a powerful share of the
New York electorate.
The Latino share of New Yorks population grew from
12.3% in 1990, to 15.1% in 2000, to 18% (or 3,496,401 peo-
ple) in 2011. The Asian share of the population grew from
3.8% in 1990, to 5.5% in 2000, to 7.4% (or 1,447,760 peo-
ple) in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

ers in the 2008 elections, and Asians 3.3% (or 248,000),
according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
In New York, 89.7% of children with immigrant parents
were U.S. citizens in 2009, according to data from the Urban
Institute.

Fraser-Pryce wins
200m at Diamond
League
T
wo time Olympic 100 meters cham-
pion Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce was
the only Jamaican winner at the opening
Diamond League meet of the season in
Doha, Qatar on Friday.
Fraser-Pryce sped to 22.48 seconds
to take the women's 200 meters in a
Jamaican one-two finish.
2008 Olympic silver medalist,
Sherone Simpson was 2nd in 22.73 while
Samantha Henry Robinson was 4th in
22.97 seconds.
Despite making it two from two in
the 200 meters so far this season, Fraser-
Pryce says she is not getting carried away
with her performances and will be sharp-
ening up a few areas as she learns to run
the event
Despite recording a season's best,
two time Olympic sprint relay gold
medalist Nesta Carter 9.99 seconds, had
to settle for 3rd in the men's 100 meters.

et again a number of top Jamaican high
school boy & girl athletes will line up
on the brand new Icahn Stadium track
dubbed "The Blue Speedway" on Randalls
Island this Memorial Day weekend
Saturday, May 25, 2013 for what should be
another impressive outing.
Given the smashing successes at the
recent Boys & Girls championships in
Jamaica and their harvest of medals at the
Penn Relays in Philadelphia, this year's adi-
das Grand Prix is expected to be a monster
magnet of superlative performances.
Confirmed teams include: Vere Tech High
School, St. Jago High, Manchester High
and Monro College. The Jamaicans will
test skills against some of the Tri-state's
best!
Coached by Neil Harrison, Munro
College has had a stellar 2013 season that
included a record-breaking mile relay per-
formance at the National Boys & Girls
Championships (Champs) 2013. Their
3:09.21 record was preceded by a 3:11.45 at
Gibson Relays that featured a 44.8 anchor
by World Junior 200m Champion Delano
Williams.
Seven-time Olympian and Jamaica
track legend Merlene Ottey - former track
star at Vere Technical - will be an honorary
guest at the 2013 adidas Grand Prix and will
be presented with an award of merit by Irie

T
he Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
Foreign Trade has begun a probe into
the status of Jamaican cyclist Horace
McFarlane who has been languishing in a
Trinidadian prison since September last
year.
McFarlane was arrested and slapped
with cocaine and ganja charges after
Trinidadian police raided a house where
he had gone to visit a female friend.
He and two others were arrested. But
Kerrian Graham, the mother of
McFarlane's son, believes that he was in
the wrong place at the wrong time and
fears that he will not get a fair trial as he
complained of being verbally abused by
police because of his nationality.
"He had gone there to take part in a
road race. He has been to Trinidad more
than once as a cyclist and never has he
been found with anything. He does not sell
drugs and we, his loved ones, are afraid
that he will not get a fair trial as we know
that Trinidadians don't particularly like
Jamaicans," a worried-looking Graham
told the Jamaica Observer.
The foreign affairs ministry was not
aware that McFarlane was arrested in the
twin-island republic until it was contacted
by the Sunday Observer.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands:
S
ome 3,500 spectators were treated to a
spectacular display of athletic prowess
at last Wednesdays Cayman Invitational
held at in Grand Cayman.
Six-time Olympic gold medal winner
Usain Bolt took centre stage, winning his
100m sprint in 10.083 seconds, just edg-
ing out compatriot Kemar Bailey-Cole in
a photo finish. The worlds fastest woman,
Carmelita Jeter, also delighted fans, win-
ning her 100m sprint in a world-leading
time of 10.95 seconds to beat compatriot
Barbara Pierre.
Jeter confirmed that the track and
field meet has quickly become a favourite
on her agenda. This is the second time I
have competed at the Cayman Invitational
and I am delighted to have participated
again, she said. It has been a pleasure to
compete alongside many other incredibly
talented athletes in front of such a wel-
coming and enthusiastic crowd.
In particular, I loved being able to
meet the younger fans who were so excit-
ed to come and watch the athletes per-
forming live, Jeter said.
Cayman Invitational, one of the
largest and most prominent in the
Caribbean, featured some of the worlds
superstar athletes, all taking part in ten
track and two field events. Jamaican
Usain Bolt needs no introduction the
worlds fastest man and winner of six
Olympic golds, taking three in last years
London Olympics alone. His lightning
speed on the track took spectators breath
away as he showed the Cayman crowd
why he is hailed as one of the greatest
sporting heroes of all time.
American Carmelita The Jet Jeter is
another Olympic gold medalist, who took
silver for the 100m sprint at last years
Olympics as well as a gold for the 4 x
100m relay and bronze for the 200m. She
competed alongside Olympic silver and
bronze medalist, Jamaican Kerron
Stewart, who earned her medals at the
2008 Beijing Olympics for the 100m and
200m respectively. Other household
names who participated included Hansle
Parchment, Debbie Ferguson-McKenzie,
Novlene Williams-Mills and Caymans
own sporting hero, Kemar Hyman.

Pakistan to tour
Caribbean this summer
T
he West Indies Cricket Board (WIBC)
has secured Pakistan's commitment
that they will tour the Caribbean this sum-
mer. Doubts about the tour of two tests,
five one day and two Twenty20 interna-
tionals, surfaced after the WIBC asked
that it be split.
Pakistan wavered, but have agreed to
play the Limited overs matches this sum-
mer, with the tests dates to be determined.
Michael Muirhead, WIBCs chief
executive officer, told RJR Sports that the
Pakistanis were opposed to playing just
the Test series this summer, due to the
costs involved.

Yasus Afari
releases new single
Wine Pon Paper
J
amaican reggae artist and dub poet vir-
tuoso Yasus Afari returns with his stim-
ulating new single Wine Pon Paper, and
was released worldwide on April 16, 2013
by FOX FUSE.
Afari is hailed as one of reggae
musics leading lyricists and one of the
worlds most prolific dub poets, who
always delivers with witty, creative and
cleverly articulated content.
Wine Pon Paper stays true to form
and is destined to defy and redefine reg-
gae poetry. It serves as the lead single for
Afaris upcoming album Public Secret,
set for release this summer.
Wine Pon Paper is an artistic,
poetic and creative interpretation of the
idea of writing for work and fun, so that
it's hip and fashionable to be a writer,
discloses Afari. The song has an intrigu-
ing title, which is a very orgasmic, mental
stimulant, as it stimulates the body, mind
and soul.
Fittingly, the provocative single
comes from one of the world's best edu-
tainers, whose wit and insights skillfully
merge serious messages with Jamaica's
trademark sense of humor, resulting in
laughter, love and learning. The masterful
track was written and produced by Afari,

"Im" Brooks, who launched his career at
age 11 at the Alpha Boys Academy in
Kingston and who achieved international
acclaim as a solo artiste and as a member
of the Skatalites band died on Thursday,

Brooks who was admitted as a
patient at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in NY
in February 2010 remained in a semi-
comatose state at a Nursing Home in
Queens until his death.
His involvement in the development
of Jamaican music spans over 50 years,
during which time he contributed his
sound to many of Jamaicas best known
artists including The Wailers, The
Heptones and Burning Spear. Early in his
career he was a regular studio musician
for Clement Coxsone Dodds Studio One
label, playing with fellow jazz musicians
Ernest Ranglin, Jackie Mittoo, Roland
Alphonso, and Vin Gordon. Their various
Studio One backed tracks have been ver-
sioned repeatedly and form the very

This past March marked
two big milestones for the NYPDs contro-
versial 'stop-and-frisk' policy. The five
millionth New Yorker was stopped and
frisked, and a federal lawsuit against the
policy began, which could end in federal
oversight of the whole department. Both
are menacing signs for the future of our
city.
Weve reached this point because the
stop-and-frisk policy is broken. It lacks
real oversight, and has become so over-
used that many stops are little more than
racial profilingstopping innocent people
on the street for no reason other than their
race. Few neighborhoods in New York tell
the story as starkly as our Caribbean com-
munities do.
In areas like East Flatbush, Prospect-
Lefferts Gardens and Crown Heights, at
least 93 percent of the people stopped in
2012 were black or Latino. And the over-
whelming majority of those persons
stopped had committed no crime, and were
issued no summons.
These facts are tearing apart the bond
between police and community. People
feel they are targeted because of their race
or ethnicity; they feel frustrated because
they are being stopped despite doing noth-
ing wrong; and all of this is brewing
antipathy toward law enforcement. Police
officers on the beat see this with their own
eyes.
When I talk to officers who patrol the
streets, they worry the quota-driven pres-
sure to stop innocent people is costing
them allies and information they need to
do their jobs. They resent the time theyre
spending to make bad stops instead of
doing the kind of police work they were
trained forgoing after the real bad guys.
It doesnt have to be this way. We can
keep neighborhoods safe and go after the
real criminals when police and the com-
munity are working and communicating
together. And that means reforming the
stop-and-frisk policy thats driving a
wedge between cops and neighborhoods.
First, its time for real oversight at the
NYPD. We need an independent Inspector
General who has the power to review
police procedures like stop-and-frisk
before they get out of control. Right now,
the NYPD is the exception among big law
enforcement agencies for not having an
independent monitor. The police depart-
ments in Chicago and Los Angeles have
Inspector Generals, as do the FBI and CIA.
We would never have gone from
100,000 stops per year when Mayor
Bloomberg took office to nearly 700,000
stops in 2011 if we had a monitor in place.
An Inspector General must have real sub-
poena powers to investigate, and would
have a truly independent budget. This
position would oversee the police depart-
ment, right-size policies like stop and
frisk, and ensure that we have real
accountability.
Second, we need to pass the Racial
Profiling Bill introduced by Council mem-
bers Jumaane Williams and Brad Lander in
the New York City Council. We cannot
continue to allow hundreds of thousands of
young men to be stopped in the street for
no other reason than the color of their skin.
The new law would finally ban racial pro-
filing and contrary to Mayor Bloombergs
fear-mongering, it would still allow the
police to follow legitimate leads and
descriptions to apprehend suspects.
Finally, there needs to be new leader-
ship at the helm of the NYPDa leader
who will work with and not against com-
munity interests and foster better relations
between law enforcement and residents.
The NYPD would be well served by
these reforms because they protect officers
just as readily as they protect residents.
These reforms will help police and the
community work better together and ulti-
mately reduce crime and keep our streets
safe.

The Closest I'll Get to
Political Commentary
T
he world is so topsy tervy that you've
gotta laugh, or you'll go extinct. I was
sent the commentary below which was
inspired by a recent story about giant
African snails spotted in Florida and
Texas.
Political commentary or not. You'll
agree that everybody gets an equal dose of
sarcasm. So, ease up, folks, and laugh!
Here's the commentary, verbatim:
Note the sightings of giant African snails
in Florida have been confined to Miami-
Dade County. Now, this is really suspi-
cious, and rumors are circulating that the
Democrats want to add the critters to the
voter rolls and are promising them all the
stucco they can eat.
The Dems are vowing, "No more
hanging chads here!" (Couldn't be, the
entire ballot would be eaten.)
Republicans, on the other hand, are
announcing they must "reach out" to the
snail community and forge closer ties.
The concern is so great that it is like-
ly that giant land snails will be included in
the hotly debated comprehensive
Immigration Bill.
Of course, stuck in the mud conserva-
tives are resisting reform, citing the poten-
tial terrorist threat if explosives are insert-
ed into their spiny shells and explode
when cars and DHS tanks inadvertently
drive over them.
Not to be outdone, liberals are
demanding that sensitivity training
regarding the GLSs be administered to all
public school children by the fifth grade
and have come up with the slogan,
"Diversity is not perversity."
Other groups are getting a piece
of the action as well. Communists are
exhorting the creatures that they have
nothing to lose but their shells.
Environmentalists are asking whether
they can be recycled into biofuels, as an
alternative to the Keystone Pipeline proj-
ect, and gays and lesbians are ecstatic over
reported incidents of homosexual behav-
ior among the big guys and gals and are
demanding a crash government program
to cure the peculiar strain of meningitis
they are afflicted with.
Feminists, of course, are petitioning
Congress and White House that the giant
mollusks be given free contraceptive
devices and abortion on demand.
All-in-all, giant land snails promise to
test the very concept of liberty and free-
dom in this great country. And it is always
well to remember, that, after all, we are a
nation of immigrants.
This my take on the whole thing, and
I hope I haven't taken a narrow view.
The writer of the commentary chooses to
remain anonymous.

MOTHERS DAY FEATURE
What they say
about mothers
Hazel Barzey Judith Jackson Alma Campbell Melissa Buchanan
By Nola Boothe
Contributing Writer
M
other's Day is an annual holiday cel-
ebrated on the second Sunday in
May. Mother's Day recognizes mothers,
motherhood and maternal bonds in gener-
al, as well the positive contributions that
they make to society.
Although many Mother's Day cele-
brations world-wide have quite different
origins and traditions, most have now
been influenced by the more recent
American tradition established by Anna
Jarvis, who celebrated it for the first time
in 1908, then campaigned to make it an
official holiday. Previous attempts at
establishing Mother's Day in the United
States sought to promote peace by means
of honoring mothers who had lost or were
at risk of losing their sons to war.
Traditions on this day include church-
going, the distribution of carnations, and
family dinners. The holiday has been
heavily commercialized by advertisers
and retailers.
Hazel BarzeyUnique Weddings &
Tours: A day in which to reflect, commu-
nicate, be happy and give thanks for long
life and prosperity.
Judith Jackson Hair Before & After:
This is a time to show love and apprecia-
tion for the one who has molded our life
into the individual we are today. This per-
son may be your biological mom or a care-
giver, nevertheless we need to let them
know they are loved each day before they
are gone from us physically.
Alma Campbell (Mama Alma): Being a
mother is sharing, loving and caring not
just for your children but also for others.
Whenever love is shown to them, they will
in turn respect and honor you as a mother
in and around the community.
Melissa Buchanan (Little Miss): My
mother is a strong black woman who gives
me advice on any situation. This day is not
only celebrated once but all throughout the
year.

YOUTH & EDUCATION
Harmonizing
Cultural Diversity
O
ur first question should be what is
culture? Culture is the characteris-
tic of a group where the rules and beliefs
are shared by the group; it is not invent-
ed by an individual, but is passed down
from one generation to the next.
Cultural rules do not influence ones
behavior, but they influence people to
behave similarly in ways that help them
understand each other. Culture is learned
therefore it can be learned well by some
people in the group and not so well by
others within the same group.
What each child learns depends on
the cultural rules of the people who pro-
vide care for him or her. For example by
understanding your cultural rules you
know how to greet a person. Cultural
rules shape food preferences, lifestyles
and celebrations, etc.
The concept of cultural sensitivity
and cultural empowerment is new to
early care and early education. However,
we need to embrace the concept. A
major task of every society is to prepare
their children to take their place in the
world as adults.
When a child is born it is the
responsibility of the family to prepare
that child for her place in the world. Our
world is not that simple as before. Our
life style is different, and the early years
are not influenced solely by families
anymore. Children are entering care at a
younger age, care givers, especially
those of infants and toddlers share the
responsibility with parents of transmit-
ting culture.
Caregivers must provide care that is
culturally harmonized with the families
that they serve. You do not have to know
all the details of the childrens culture
that you serve. However, you should
begin by learning more about your own
culture.
Keep in mind that each family is a
culture in itself and each family member
is a unique individual. Avoid stereotyp-
ing cultures from the same region; an
example: I am from Jamaica and when
I meet people they usually ask do you
smoke weed also? People usually base
their opinions from stereo types.
It is very important for you to get
your information from more than one
source this way your perspective of a
given culture will be broad. Our society
is changing rapidly therefore most of the
infants/toddlers that we care for will be
culturally different from their care
givers. It is important that we begin to
understand people who are different
from us.

hirty-plus year-old licensed master
nail technician and New York City
certified cosmetologist Julie Merchant is a
strong advocacy of proper grooming as
looking good is just the beginning.
Merchant explains that regular mani-
cure and pedicure treatments are among
the first step towards grooming and per-
sonal hygiene. Treating and keeping your
nails clean will always make you look and
feel good, she adds.
A few years upon graduating from St.
James High School in Jamaica WI,
Merchant pursued a program in cosmetol-
ogy at Margate School of Beauty in
Florida specializing in manicure/pedicure,
hair care, as well as makeup and facial
treatments.

the Phoenix University with an associate
degree in criminal justice, enjoys her job
as a professional cosmetologist and nail
technician. She serves as make-up artist
for several models and entertainers among
her growing list of clients. This is my
passion. I just love to assist people to
enhance their appearances, she beams.
A strong believer in education, train-
ing and professional development,
Merchant attributes her success to her edu-
cation background and the various profes-
sional training programs. I am always
seeking ways and means to improve
myself and to better serve my clients. You
never stop learning, she said.
Known for her knowledge and experi-
ence as a professional nail technician and
makeup artist, Merchant has been
described by her peers and clients as cre-
ative, artistic and talented. I acquired my
skills through keen observation and a
decade of practice, she adds.
A mother of two children, Merchant is
very optimistic about the future and plans
to open her own full-service spa and beau-
ty care center in the future.
Located at the So4Real Beauty Salon,

utes her success to discipline, hard work

ells Fargo, the nations largest home
mortgage lender, on May 7,
announced that the companys New York-
New Jersey CityLIFTSM program will be
available in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Newark,
and Jersey City on June 7 & 8. The
CityLIFTSM program is a collaboration
between Wells Fargo Bank N.A., the Bronx,
Brooklyn, Newark and Jersey City officials,
and NeighborWorks America, a national
non-profit organization which creates oppor-
tunities for people to live in affordable
homes and improve their lives.
The program is designed to provide
down payment assistance and homebuyer
education programs in areas most impacted
by the financial crisis.
The CityLIFTSM program includes a
$9.5 million investment for down payment
assistance grants and homebuyer support
programs to help consumers achieve suc-
cessful, sustainable homeownership and is
for qualified potential homebuyers interested
in living in a home in the Bronx, Brooklyn,
Newark, or Jersey City.
The New York-New Jersey
CityLIFTSM program will include a free
homebuyer workshop on Friday, June 7 from
10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday, June 8 from
10 a.m. to 7 p.m., at Pier 94 in Manhattan.
At the event, potential homebuyers can
find out if they qualify for the down payment
assistance program and reserve funds
$30,000 in the Bronx/Brooklyn or $15,000
in Newark/Jersey City for 60 days for
home purchases even if they have yet to find
a property.
In addition, prospective homebuyers
may stop by the Wells Fargo Affordable
Home TourSM viewing center to preview
featured homes available for sale in local
neighborhoods.
Prospective homebuyers can register at
www.wellsfargo.com/citylift and learn more
about the New York-New Jersey
CityLIFTSM program by calling 1-866-802-
0456.
Pre-registration is encouraged, although
walk-ins are welcome. Wells Fargo will col-
laborate with the Bronx, Brooklyn, Newark
and Jersey City officials, NeighborWorks
America, and local NeighborWorks affiliates
Neighborhood Housing Services of New
York City and La Casa de Don Pedro of
Newark to implement the CityLIFTSM pro-
gram.
The programs in the Bronx, Brooklyn,
Newark and Jersey City, are part of 20 hous-
ing markets that will benefit from a total of
$170 million Wells Fargo has committed
through its LIFTSM programs (including
NeighborhoodLIFTSM and CityLIFTSM) to
support sustainable housing in cities affected
by the economic downturn.
Today, while there are many homes
available at attractive purchase prices and
mortgages are available at historically low
interest rates, many families are still unable
to purchase a home because they struggle
with making the down payment, said Joe
Kirk, Wells Fargos regional president for
New York and Connecticut. The
CityLIFTSM program will help address this
issue for homebuyers by providing down
payment assistance that can help make a
mortgage payment more affordable.
NeighborWorks America and Wells
Fargos innovative partnership helps thou-
sands of homebuyers achieve sustainable
homeownership, said Eileen Fitzgerald,
chief executive officer of NeighborWorks
America.
Down payment assistance of $30,000 is
available to those who qualify to purchase a
home in the Bronx or Brooklyn. To qualify
for down payment assistance, applicants
must meet certain criteria including annual
income not exceeding 120 percent of the
median income for the area (income maxi-
mums vary depending on family size); an
eight-hour homebuyer education session
with a HUD-approved counselor such as
NeighborWorks America affiliates; and a
commitment to stay in the home for five
years and qualification for a first mortgage
on the property. Participating homebuyers
can obtain mortgage financing from any
qualified lender.
The CityLIFTSM program is designed
to provide down payment assistance and
homebuyer education programs in areas
most impacted by the financial crisis. The
program was developed in connection with
the 2012 settlement with the U.S.
Department of Justice, and is a collaboration
between Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and
NeighborWorks America.

LIFE STYLE
Dear Divine Diva:
T
hree years ago, I found out that my wife
of 14 years was sneaking around behind
my back with her high school sweetheart. I
confronted both of them and it ended. I for-
gave her, but I still can't sleep at night
because of something that's bothering me.
His wife has no idea about the affair, and I
feel guilty that I haven't told her about
everything that happened.
Some of my friends say I should call
her and tell her, but now it seems like it hap-
pened too long ago to bring it to her atten-
tion. Also, in an attempt to get her husband
to come clean -- which he did -- I promised
him I wouldn't tell his wife.
My wife and I have patched things up
and we're having the best years of our life
together. So the question is, should I break
my word and possibly upset my new rela-
tionship with my wife so I can not feel this
guilt? -- Can't Sleep In White Plains
Dear Can't Sleep:
Surely there's a better cure for your insom-
nia than causing needless pain to the wife.
The affair ended years ago, and she is
blameless in all this. Because you are still
having trouble sleeping, talk to your doctor
about it. Some sessions with a psychologist
or a licensed family therapist may help you
deal with your guilt and find closure.

My Cheating Spouse
Dear Divine Diva:
I
have just discovered that my granddaugh-
ter's mother helped her get a Facebook
page on which she is listed as 17, interested
in men and in a relationship. The child is
only 13, but you'd never know it from the
makeup and hairdo in her photo.
I am heartbroken that she is being
"marketed" this way and that her prospects
for a life of achievement and happiness are
zero. I have little to no contact with her
because I have been put off by her mother's
"street" attitude. If her lips are moving, the
woman is lying. My granddaughter is disre-
spectful and ignorant.
What breaks my heart is that I had
hoped to pass on to her items that have been
in our family for generations, including a
sizable inheritance. What can I do to sal-
vage a relationship with a girl who wants
nothing to do with me?, where can I turn to
replace her with a more suitable heir? My
son can't father any more children.
--Sad Granny In The Bronx
Dear Sad Granny:
Your granddaughter may be disrespectful
because her mother dislikes you, and you
haven't been around enough so the girl
could really get to know you.
Also, she is only 11. Her mother is pre-
senting her on Facebook in an inappropriate
manner (to put it mildly), and the result
could be tragic.
Is it possible for your son to talk with a
lawyer and seek custody? If it's not, he
should contact child protective services.
Rather than "replace" your grandchild, it
would be better for all concerned to help
her. -Always Divine Diva
W
ondering what relationship stage
youre in right now? Relationships
are unique. And one experience of love is
never ever the same.
You may have been in several rela-
tionships in your life, and all of them may
have been very different from the earlier
one. But there are a few traits about every
single relationship that binds all relation-
ships along a similar path.
Relationships, just like life, have their
own stages. It starts off with infatuation
and goes through several stages along the
way. And these stages are like tests that
check your compatibility with each other.
Go wrong anywhere along the way, and
your relationship will take the brunt of the
fall.
Infatuation: This is the first stage in
every relationship. It almost always starts
with an intense attraction and an uncon-
trollable urge to be with each other. Both
of you may be intensely sexually attracted
to each other, or both of you may just love
the cuddles and each others company. In
this stage, both of you overlook any flaws
of each other and only focus on the good
sides.
Understanding: In this stage, both of
you start getting to know each other better.
You have long conversations with your
partner that stretches late into the night,
and everything about your partner inter-
ests and fascinates you. You talk about
each others families, exes, likes and dis-
likes and other innocent secrets, and life
seems so beautiful and romantic.
Disturbances: This stage usually
forces its way into a happy romance after
a few months of blissful courting. Do you
remember the first fight or angry dis-
agreement you and your partner had? For
the first time ever in the relationship, both
of you confront each other over a conflict,
even though its sorted out quickly.
Opinion Maker: In this stage, both
of you create opinions about each other.
As the months pass by, both of you know
what to expect from each other, and you
make an assumption about your partners
commitment towards the relationship.
Moulding: You have your own
expectations from an ideal partner. And in
this stage, both of you try hard to mould
each other to fit your own wants in a per-
fect partner. This stage is a lot about give
and take, and both partners constantly try
to subtly convince each other to change
their behavior towards the relationship.
This is a power struggle, and one that can
end the relationship if both partners are
domineering.
Happy: If the relationship survives
past the moulding stage, both of you may
have changed equally for each other and
understood each others expectations. In
this stage, the relationship cruises along
perfectly and both of you may be blissful-
ly happy with each other.
Doubts: Its been several years since
both of you have been in a relationship
with each other. And somewhere along the
way, doubts start to creep in. The intensi-
ty of the doubts depend on how happy
both of you are in the relationship.
Sexual Exploration or Bust: This is
the stage when your sex life starts to play
a pivotal role. Both your sex drives may
change and one of you may get disinter-
ested in sex.
Complete Trust: This is the happy
stage when both of you love each other
and trust each other completely. But at the
same time, the unbreakable trust in each
other could also turn into taking each
other for granted.

Stages of Relationship
Girl's Racy Facebook Profile
Makes Grandma Sad !
ARIES (Mar. 21Apr.
19): Others may not be able
to read you correctly so
they don't pick up on your
impatience.Someone might
misinterpret your assertive
style and could even think
that you're acting desper-
ately. But your current per-
sistence gives you greater
strength than is apparent.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 May
20): Anxiety increases your
stress level, and you may
begin to shut down emo-
tionally instead of remain-
ing adaptable enough to
respond to changes. Ease
your tension by reminding
yourself that worrying isn't
helpful.
GEMINI (May 21June
20): Although you are
tempted to keep things light
and easy, it's wiser to seri-
ously consider the ramifica-
tions of your possible
actions. If you are unsure of
what you really want,
refrain from making any
changes until you gain clar-
ity.
CANCER (Jun. 21 Jul.
22): You are willing to con-
front your own fears now
so you can process them
before exploring a difficult
subject with a close friend
or partner. Unfortunately,
there are no shortcuts to
happiness today, so you
need to jump in and be will-
ing to deal with whatever
happens.
LEO (Jul. 23 Aug. 22):
Apply your excess energy
to advance yourself at work
instead of getting caught up
in anger over something
you can't control. Instead of
initiating work on a new
venture now, think about
your options and create a
timeline for the future.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept.
22): You are playing for
keeps today and there's not
much that can deter you
from your goal. But there
are many approaches to
success and it's very likely
that someone else will have
a better idea.
LIBRA (Sept. 23
Oct.22): You may feel
uncomfortable today be-
cause you typically rely on
your intellect rather than on
your emotions. Leading
with your heart is fine if
you are aware of what
you're doing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 Nov.
21): Your natural ability to
explore the shadows of
your subconscious mind
can make you a really good
friend to someone special.
Your loyalty is unwavering
as you jointly explore the
darker side of passion
today.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec.21): Practicality is
easily integrated into your
routine now, but you can
still be off base even if you
think you're using common
sense. You must be careful
because you could set your
heart on a particular goal.
It's possible to make a
wrong decision, even if you
approach the problem with
your feet on the ground.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22
Jan. 19): You may seem
more intense because every
word you utter is super-
charged with emotion.
Even if you attempt to
make your point clearly,
you might not be as logical
as you think.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20
Feb. 18): No matter what
professional circumstances
are impacting your life
now, the behavior of your
coworkers is less important
than your reactions.
Accordingly, you have
more control over what
happens next than you real-
ize. Instead of trying to out-
maneuver anyone else,
strengthen your own foun-
dation first. It's not about
what others think it's about
believing in yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19 Mar.
20): You might think that
you're being extremely
clear about your intentions
and what you're doing
today, but a close friend or
family member still could
misinterpret your behavior.

HEALTH & NUTRITION
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
T
he Obama administration said on
Thursday it is making $150 million
available to community health centers to
enroll uninsured Americans in healthcare
coverage under President Barack Obama's
reform law.
The new funds would help about 1,200
health centers hire and train staff, conduct
community outreach efforts and assist con-
sumers in applying for benefits under the
law, which provides coverage through sub-
sidized insurance markets and an expansion
of the Medicaid program for the poor, the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services said.
The announcement comes at a time
when reform advocates including
Democrats in Congress are expressing con-
cern about the success of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act, includ-
ing whether enough people will sign up for
coverage.
The health centers operate nearly 9,000
service delivery sites nationwide and serve
approximately 21 million patients each
year.
U.S. Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the initia-
tive provides a new avenue of outreach, on
top of a recently announced program to hire
and train counselors known as "navigators"
to help enroll the uninsured. There are
about 49 million uninsured Americans.

Questions & Comments:
Gloria.Bent@gmail.com
What is sodium?
A mineral needed by our bodies for regu-
lation of fluid balance, contraction of mus-
cles and conduction of nerve impulses
Kidneys regulate the bodys sodium level
but when they fail to filter out excess sodi-
um, swelling can occur in different parts of
the body and blood pressure can increase.
How much salt is enough?
The human adult needs 500 to 1000 mil-
ligrams of sodium per day or about to
1 teaspoons of table salt
Most Americans actually consume eight
times that amount
Reducing sodium in the diet may reduce
high blood pressure, which can in turn
decrease the chances of heart or kidney
disease and stroke
A low-sodium diet may need to be com-
bined with weight loss and exercise or
medication to decrease blood pressure
What are ways to reduce
sodium in the diet?
Buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats
and try to avoid processed foods and
frozen dinners
Skip salting the water for boiling rice,
pasta, and veggies.
Try reduced sodium products instead of
the originals
Avoid foods with words such as pickled,
smoked, cured because they are likely to
have a high sodium content
Use condiments such as ketchup, pickles,
relish, and tartar sauce sparingly
Use fresh or dried herbs and spices and
citrus instead of salt to flavor foods

F
ederal lawyers have filed an appeal to
stop a Brooklyn judge's decision to lift
age restrictions on the controversial morn-
ing-after pill.
U.S. District Judge Edward Korman
made the decision last month, allowing
over-the-counter sales of Plan B pills.
Government lawyers had until today
to appeal.
The FDA announced earlier this
month that the pills would be made avail-
able without a prescription to girls 15 and
over. The minimum age for buying morn-
ing-after pills was 17.
Justice department lawyers have
asked for a stay on the ruling while they
appeal, but Korman has refused to delay
putting it into effect.

10 Tips for the First-Time Business Owner
Melonie Hall
Free Referral
Services for Women
F
reelance writer and office adminis-
trator Melonie Hall recently
launched a free referral service to
empower women.
Hall noted that after several years
serving as volunteer for two major
organizations assisting women that are in
crises and facing social and economic
challenges, I decided it was only fitting
that I did something to help.
The home-based company 'Mysrvcs'
(My Services) offers assistance to ladies
seeking job and business opportunities.
There are absolutely no fees affiliated
with any referrals provided, this will be
free of charge, Hall adds.

Focus. Focus. Focus. Many first-time entre-
preneurs feel the need to jump at every
"opportunity" they come across.
Opportunities are often wolves in sheep's
clothing. Avoid getting side-tracked. Juggling
multiple ventures will spread you thin and
limit both your effectiveness and productivi-
ty. Do one thing perfectly, not 10 things poor-
ly.
Know what you do. Do what you know.
Don't start a business simply because it seems
sexy or boasts large hypothetical profit mar-
gins and returns. Do what you love.
Businesses built around your strengths and
talents will have a greater chance of success.
If your heart isn't in it, you will not be suc-
cessful.
Say it in 30 seconds or don't say it at all.
From a chance encounter with an investor to
a curious customer, always be ready to pitch
your business. State your mission, service and
goals in a clear and concise manner. Fit the
pitch to the person. Less is always more.
Know what you know, what you don't
know and who knows what you don't. No
one knows everything, so don't come off as a
know-it-all. Surround yourself with advisors
and mentors who will nurture you to become
a better leader and businessman. Find suc-
cessful, knowledgeable individuals with
whom you share common interests and mutu-
al business goals that see value in working
with you for the long-term.
Act like a startup. Forget about fancy
offices, fast cars and fat expense accounts.
Your wallet is your company's life-blood.
Practice and perfect the art of being frugal.
Watch every dollar and triple-check every
expense. Maintain a low overhead and man-
age your cash flow effectively.
Learn under fire. No business book or busi-
ness plan can predict the future or fully pre-
pare you to become a successful entrepreneur.
There is no such thing as the perfect plan.
There is no perfect road or one less traveled.
Never jump right into a new business without
any thought or planning, but don't spend
months or years waiting to execute.
There, I said it. No one will invest in you. If
you need large sums of capital to launch your
venture, go back to the drawing board. Find a
starting point instead of an end point. Scale
down pricey plans and grandiose expendi-
tures. Simplify the idea until it's manageable
as an early stage venture. Find ways to prove
your business model on a shoestring budget.
Be healthy. No, I'm not your mother.
However, I promise that you will be much
more productive when you take better care of
yourself. Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle, not a
9-to-5 profession.
Working to the point of exhaustion will burn
you out and make you less productive. Don't
make excuses. Eat right, exercise and find
time for yourself.
Don't fall victim to your own B.S. Don't talk
the talk unless you can walk the walk.
Impress with action not conversation.
Endorse your business enthusiastically, yet
tastefully. Avoid exaggerating truths and tout-
ing far reaching goals as certainties. In short,
put up or shut up.
Know when to call it quits. Contrary to pop-
ular belief, a smart captain does not go down
with the ship. Don't go on a fool's errand for
the sake of ego. Know when it's time to walk
away. If your idea doesn't pan out, reflect on
what went wrong and the mistakes that were
made. Assess what you would have done dif-
ferently. Determine how you will utilize these
hard-learned lessons to better yourself and
your future entrepreneurial endeavors.
Failure is inevitable, but a true entrepreneur
will prevail over adversity.

MOUNT VERNON:
It's official! Mount Vernon has the best tast-
ing water in the county. Taste testers picked
the City's Board of Water Supply for top
taste in the Westchester County Department
of Health's annual municipal water taste
contest in front of the Michaelian Office
Building in White Plains.
Mount Vernon entered the contest for
the first time in fifteen years, confident that
the city's drinking water would fare well.
In the end Mount Vernon beat out last
year's winner, Cortlandt Consolidated Water
District.
Congratulations to the Board of Water
Supply for winning gulps ahead of the rest
of contestants. Now its on to the New York
State finals. For more information contact

Caring is
Sharing
K
udos to Charles Ramsey for the role
he played in the recent rescue of
three enslaved women in Ohio but is
President Obama aware of this? I am still
waiting for his phone call to celebrate and
commend Ramsey as he recently did for
with Jason Collins.
A major complaint against the presi-
dent from the Africana community has
been that of disproportionate attention to
the issues of the community and this situ-
ation provided a good opportunity for the
president to label a real hero as a role
model. Caring is sharing Mr. President
and you would be well served to share
your attention in a manner that says that
you care.
Condolences to the family and fans of
Cedric Brooks who recently made his
transition. Through his contribution to
Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of
Rastafari, forming and leading his own
band Light of Saba and many other
efforts, Cedric made a significant contri-
bution shaping reggae music and will be
remembered for this contribution.
The CPR outreach campaign contin-
ues with a repeat screening of Better Mus'
Come, this time at Pulse 48 in Brooklyn
on Friday May 31. Caring is sharing and
members can show that they care by shar-
ing this information. Also, members get a
complimentary ticket when you secure the
sale of five tickets. Call 718 421-6927 for
more information.
As always, we are working together
to make things work and look forward to
your partnership in this important venture.
One love, Carlyle McKetty
