I left Jamaica in the seventies because of

the violence.
A lot of the violence was political in

Many were displaced, and many lost their
lives because of that.
So I said enough is enough and left.

The freedom to choose a party and not

uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach be-
cause I know what this can lead to.
When I left Jamaica, the homicide rate
was one hundred plus per year, last year it

Flatbush Daycare
Operator Sentenced
to up to 15 Yrs
T
Brooklyn:
he operator of three Brooklyn daycare
centers has been sentenced to up to 15
years in state prison for stealing over
$50,000 from the New York City Admin-
istration for Childrens Services (ACS) by
falsifying and submitting forms to receive
City funds for a bogus center and for chil-
dren who did not actually attend his cen-
ters.
The defendant Owen Larman, 44, of
Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn was
sentenced recently to the maximum of 7
to 15 years in prison by Brooklyn Supreme
Court Justice Guy Mangano. The defen-
dant was convicted of second-degree grand
larceny, third-degree bribery, 11 counts of
second-degree criminal possession of a
forged instrument and 11 counts of first-
degree offering a false instrument for filing
earlier this month following a jury trial.
According to trial testimony, between
2007 and 2011, the defendant opened three
daycare centers in Brooklyn under the
name Next to Home. The centers, serving
infants, toddlers and school-age children,
were primarily paid through ACS vouchers
given to families to cover some or all of the
cost of childcare services. The defendant
stole approximately $51,667 in voucher
funds from ACS between June 2012 and
April 2013.
In August 2011, the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
(DOHMH) found that one of the defen-
dants centers was grossly overcrowded
with inadequate staff to supervise the chil-
dren. This center contained the defendants
afterschool program and was located at
1159 Flatbush Avenue in Flatbush, Brook-
lyn. The DOHMH took measurements of
this afterschool center on June 3, 2011 and
issued a new permit in August 2011 allow-
ing only seven children of school age to be
on the premises. Prior to this date, the de-
fendant had over 78 children at the after-
school center. The DOHMH is the City
agency responsible for inspecting all group
childcare facilities in New York City.
According to trial testimony, follow-
ing the issuance of the new permit permit-
ting only seven school-age children at the
1159 Flatbush Avenue center, the defen-
dants common practice was to misrepre-
sent the number of children at his centers
by having employees take some of the chil-
dren temporarily off-site and hold them on
buses in parking lots when he knew an in-

A
GEORGETOWN, Guyana:
s if the revocation of their respective
US visas was not enough of a travel
nightmare, a usually reliable source at the
US State Department has confirmed to the
Guyana Guardian that, based upon infor-
mation at their disposal since 2015, an in-
telligence request was made this year for
Guyana opposition Members of Parliament
Dharamkumar Seeraj, Nigel Dharamlall
and a handful of others to be placed on the
international no-fly list.
While there is uncertainty as to
whether the request was made by the em-
bassy itself, an intelligence agency, or the
Guyana government; the State Department
has nonetheless acquiesced to the request,
which led to the Consular Section of the US
Embassy in Georgetown sending out visa
revocation notices to the affected MPs
among others.
Nonetheless, while the US visa revo-
cation is generally restricted to the United
States only, a no-fly enlistment can curtail
travel to several countries or across any in-
ternational border.
This would have meant that apart from
the United States, Seeraj and Dharamlall,
along with the other affected parties can ei-
ther be detained or refused entry if they at-

visa-free travel
for Antigua-Bar-

T
ST JOHNS, Antigua:
he government of Canada has decided
to end visa-free travel for citizens of
Antigua and Barbuda. This decision report-
edly relates to concerns over individuals
who obtain passports under citizenship by
investment programmes in the Caribbean.
The Canadian High Commissioner to
Antigua and Barbuda, stationed in
Trinidad, advised Prime Minister Gaston
Browne of this development late on Friday
prior to an official announcement on Mon-
day. At the time, the Canadian official said
that a concern is that Antigua and Bar-
budas citizenship by investment pro-
gramme is not a residency programme.
In response, Browne pointed to the in-
tense vetting of its CIP system, the rev-
enues to the people of Antigua and Barbuda
when the terms of trade and aid have de-
clined and the banking system is threat-
ened. Despite the end of visa-free travel,
the official Canadian government statement
said, Canada continues to welcome visi-
tors from Antigua and Barbuda.

How Many People Overstay Their Visas?
Not Even the Government Knows
D
By Walter Ewing
www.immigrationimpact.com
epartment of Homeland Security
(DHS) officials unveiled their newest
overstay estimatesthe number of peo-
ple from other countries who remain in the
United States after their visas expireat a
recent congressional hearing.
However, agency officials themselves
acknowledge serious flaws in their esti-
mates, stemming from a lack of reliable exit
data, as well as poorly coordinated commu-
nications between databases and informa-
tion systems.
As noted in DHSs testimony, there
were more than 50.4 million nonimmigrant
admissions into the United States by sea
and air ports of entry in Fiscal Year (FY)
2016. DHS estimates that 1.47 percent of
these individuals overstayed their visas, or
around 739,000 people.
However, as DHS itself acknowledges,
and as DHS Inspector General John Roth
emphasized in separate testimony, these es-
timates dont include anyone who drove or
walked across either the U.S.-Mexico or
U.S.-Canada border because DHS lacks
any reliable data on people who exit the
country through a land port of entry.
This demonstrates why no one knows
for certain how many people come to the
United States on valid visas and then over-
stay.
The Pew Research Center estimates
that these overstayers account for as
many as 45 percent of the 11 million unau-
thorized immigrants now living here.
However, these truly are estimates and
not hard numbers. Part of the reason for this
gap in knowledge is the chaotic collection
of databases and information systems that
have been cobbled together within DHS.
The other factor is the absence of any
mechanism to confidently determine when
a person who has entered the country on a
visa has exited.
Inspector General Roth laid out many
of the problems with producing estimates,
including the fact that the relevant data-

bases and information systems within DHS
are incapable of electronically sharing in-
formation with each other.
For instance, analysts with the Immi-
gration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
Counterterrorism and Criminal Exploitation
(CCE) Unit must access as many as 27 sep-
arate systems to try to determine who may
or may not have overstayed their visa. Since
each of these systems was designed for a
specific purpose, none contains comprehen-
sive information about any one individual.
It is up to analysts to assemble a complete
picture from all of these sources.
Even if an analyst successfully navi-
gates these systems, there is no guarantee
that he or she is gaining access to real-time
information.
For instance, ICE needs to know when
a particular individual who is under inves-
tigation for possibly overstaying a visa files
a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immi-
gration Services (USCIS) that might change
his or her immigration status.
Yet USCIS relies upon almost a dozen
of its own information systems which are
not integrated with each other. In fact, each
system is designed to track a specific appli-
cation rather than all applications filed by a
specific individual. An ICE analyst can
spend hours or even days just trying to get
through all of USCISs systems. In 2006,

USCIS created a Person Centric Query
Service in an attempt to get around this
problem, but many ICE analysts either did-
nt know about it or doubted its reliability.
However, the biggest hole in the avail-
able data stems from the fact that no de-
tailed exit data is collected from most
people when they leave the United States
by land (crossing into Mexico or Canada).
With the exception of a pilot program
in Atlanta, there is no way to biometrically
verify when someone has left the country
through an airport. ICE analysts have to
piece that information together from third-
party records (like flight manifests) which
may or may not be accurate.
As a result, ICE sometimes wrongly
concludes that someone who left the coun-
try is in fact still here or that someone who
is still here has left.
In the face of challenges such as these,
its no surprise that ICE is currently work-
ing through a backlog of more than 1.2 mil-
lion cases involving people who may (or
may not) have overstayed their visas.
All of which suggests that the number
of overstayers in the United States will re-
main a mystery for some time to come.

ut-of-sorts West Indies Women proved
no match for World champions Aus-
tralia Women and crashed to a heavy eight-
wicket defeat, as they opened their ICC
Women's Cricket World Cup on a disap-
pointing note here recently.
They opted to bat first but were dis-
missed for 204 in the 48th over, with
teenaged opener Hayley Matthews top-
scoring with 46, captain Stafanie Taylor
getting 45 and Chedean Nation, 39.
All-rounder Deandra Dottin chipped in
with a brisk 29, but veteran seamer Ellyse
Perry grabbed three for 47, while leg-spin-
ner Kristen Beams (2-30) and left-arm spin-
ner Jess Jonassen (2-39) claimed two
wickets apiece to cripple the Windies in-
nings.
The Caribbean side were well placed
at one stage on 123 for two in the 33rd over
but failed to kick on and lost their last eight
wickets for 81 runs.
In reply, opener Nicole Bolton struck

sain St. Leo Bolt used his Instagram ac-

send a simple message: Thank You Ja-

Bolts thank you came hours after he
won his final 100-meters on home soil in
Kingston before a massive crowd of some
30,000 people including the countrys prime
minister.
The triple Olympian won the JN Racers
Grand Prix 100-m race, labeled Tribute to a
Legend, in a time of 10.03 even as he pub-
licly admitted to being nervous before the
race.

in Caribbean
Cup final
C
FORT-DE-FRANCE, Martinique:
learly deflated, Jamaica's Reggae
Boyz will not be able to honour late
Jamaica Football Federation President
Captain Horace Burrell with the
Caribbean title as they had hoped.
In the final of the Scotiabank CFU
Men's Caribbean Cup against Dutch-
speaking Curacao at the Stade Pierre
Aliker last night, Jamaica lost 1-2 to
clearly the most consistent and compact
team in the semi-final round of the re-
gional tournament.
Elson Hooi got a double in the 10th
and 81st minutes to propel Curacao to
victory, while substitute Rosario Harriott
got Jamaica's equaliser in the 80th.
It was the first time that Curacao
were winning the title, but last night's suc-
cess is a culmination of two years of a
constant rise in the football profile of the
former island of the Netherlands Antilles.
Defending champions Jamaica were
hunting their seventh title, which they
vowed they would pursue in tribute to
Burrell, who died in the USA recently.
Both teams will meet again in the
opening Group C match of the CONCA-
CAF Gold in the USA on July 7, in San
Diego, California.

Highline Ball Room in Manhattan on June
18, 2017, as one of his many stops on his
Bl**d Cl**t tour. Gates opened at 7 pm,
and the DJ's entertained the audience with
some sweet, sweet reggae music.
The air at this time signaled a night of
musical blessing!
Protoje took center stage at about 9:40 pm
and his performance was nothing less than
what I expected.
The audience swayed to the beat almost
as if under a spell as he delivered songs
from his albums. Songs such as Rasta
Love, Sudden Flight, Criminal, Stylin,
Who Knows, Blood Money, Ja.
The set lasted for 30 minutes which
seemed like a mere five minutes. He ended
with Kingston Be Wise. His energetic,
powerful and refreshing performance was
entertaining from start to finish. The crowd
although pleased seemed was hungry for
more. Protoje delivered and had left NYC
saying We like it! When again will it be?
Of course, we spoke to Protoje after
his performance:

5 Signs Youre Outgrowing Your Relationship

Please send your questions and comments to: divinestreethype@gmail.com

I
by Shantell E. Jamison
f we are lucky, well meet some-
one who changes our life forever
and in a good way. Theyll bring
out the best in us, be great to us for
a season or so and provide all that
we need in a mate.
It also will be temporary be-
cause we change, he or she changes
and you simply outgrown each
other. But how can one tell if they
are outgrowing their relationship, or
is simply experiencing the ebbs and
flows of love? Here are five ways to
help you determine if you no longer
are meant to be.
1) You no longer challenge each
other.
You are like two ships passing
in the night. Theres no fiery passion
and you willingly accept that this is
where your relationship has landed.
The work, excuse me, the relation-
ship has become so routine that
you just dont see a way to fix it. So
you dont try to connect, you refuse
to date your mate and youd hon-
estly rather just do your own
thing. While it is always good to
accept your mate for who they are
and encourage autonomy, becoming
complacent is never the way to go.
This is the surest sign that there re-
ally is trouble in paradise.
2) Youre not excited to be in your
relationship.
Getting up everyday in love
simply doesnt move you like it used
to. No, every day wont come with
lyrics to Jill Scotts So In Love
With You echoing in the back-
ground, but if you feel more apa-
thetic than grateful for your mate,
you may have outgrown each other.
3) You get more fulfillment from
outside sources.
Spending time away from your part-
ner is becoming not just the norm,
but a very strong highlight of your
day. You start to seek fulfillment
from others more and more. Under-
stand that while its great to live a
life that is independent of your rela-
tionship, your mate should always
be a priority. If you find yourself
placing your relationship further Not every relationship ends on bad out. But the primary culprit for doesnt mean they are good for you.

likely should be single. ..and this is honestly confusing for a have outgrown the relationship. Just
lot of people, things just dont work because someone is good to you
4) She or he just isnt the same
person.
He was so enthusiastic and ad-
venturous when you first met. She
was so attentive and thoughtful in
the beginning of your relationship.
Now you dont know who the hell
youre sleeping with every night.
While people change, it is very im-
portant that the characteristics and
traits that made you decide to spend
life with them remain.
We cannot control how some-
one evolves, but certain things are in
our DNA. Someone who is gen-
uinely kind doesnt stop being gen-
erous and thoughtful overnight. If a
person is adventurous, while they
may calm down a bit, understand
that their enthusiasm will not disap-
pear.
In life you either grow together
or grown apart. A relationship does
not change that. If the direction that
youre evolving in is different from
your mate, do not be upset; simply
accept that this is where you are in
life and make the decision to peace-
fully move on.
5) The thrill isnt on vacation; its
dead.
Every relationship has its dull
moments, but if the thrill (i.e. pas-
sion, lovemakingif physically
able toand/or excitement) is gone,
then you may have outgrown your
relationship. If what used to excite
you no longer does and a revamp
cant fix it, then perhaps you may
need to accept that your season to-
gether is coming to an end.

Warnings about Credit Repair

Highlighting the opportunities and challenges of local business

I f youve been told that a com-

pany can repair your credit or
remove a derogatory item on your
behalf if you just pay them a fee,
it probably sounded too good to
be trueand it is.
Unfortunately, these are the
typical claims that some credit re-
pair organizations (CROs) will
make. The unwary consumer is
usually the victim. People strug-
gling with bad credit histories and
damaged credit scores can be the
most vulnerable victims.
Can Credit Repair
Companies Deliver?
Generally, credit repair companies
cannot deliver on a promise to re-
move accurate negative informa-
tion from YOUR CREDIT
REPORT And after paying some-
times thousands of dollars in fees,
victims are left wondering what
happened. Their credit remains
subpar and their money has van-
ished. Before you take your busi-
ness to a credit repair company,
realize that no one can legally re-
move negative information from
your credit report if it is true.
Under the federal Credit Re-
pair Organizations Act, credit re-
pair companies are required to
provide a written and detailed
contract about the services they
will perform for you. The contract
should state how long it will likely
take to see results and disclose the
total cost of services. You can
only be charged for services when
everything identified in the con-
tract has been successfully per-
formed. They must also disclose
that you have the right to repair
your own credit. Furthermore, you
have the right to cancel the con-
tract with no obligation within
three days.
Credit repair companies may:
Pull copies of your credit reports
Recommend that you may want
to change certain items on your
credit report
Contact the credit reporting
agencies to challenge the accuracy
of those items
The truth is, credit repair or-
ganizations can do nothing to bet-
ter your credit score that you
cannot do yourself for free.
Before you pay a credit repair
company:
Become familiar with the Credit
Repair Organizations Act. This
Act was put in place to help pro-
tect consumers from unscrupulous
credit practices. Credit repair or-
ganizations cannot ask for ad-
vance payment, and contracts
must be in writing and contain
cancellation rights.
Learn to interpret your credit re-
port information. Mortgage
lenders, prospective employers,
banks and utility companies com-
pile information to send to credit
bureaus. Knowing how this infor-
mation impacts your credit can
help you Make Better Credit And
Financial Decisions.
Take steps to guard against iden-
tity theft. Regularly monitoring
for identity theft can help you
catch identity theft and fraud
when it happens, allowing you to
quickly address the problem.
Work to better your credit scores.
Pay your bills on time. Keep your
credit card balances low. Pay off
debt instead of simply moving it
around. Keep your unused ac-
counts open as a long-term strat-
egy to help improve your credit
score.

Credit counseling is the easiest, most effective way to explore the options for

Council Member Donovan Richards office hosted the Manny Fiallo Jr. Men's Brunch along
with the Rockaway Development and Revitalization Corporation on June 10. Richards honored
the contributions of the men of our community, including Brandon Jefferies, Rasahn Staley,
Visol Smith, and the late Manny Fiallo Jr. More than 100 attendees were treated to a brunch
buffet, raffles and the honorees were all awarded with New York City Council Proclamations
from Richards for their long-time dedication to serving their community. These men have
demonstrated an example, which others should strive to follow. Brandon Jefferies has done
tireless work as the Director of the Queens Library for Teens. Rasahn Staley has long been the
Resource Coordinator at the Queens High School for Information, Research, and Technology,
and serves the spiritual needs of the community as a pastor at Refuge Church. Visol Smith has
done life-saving work as the Directing Supervisor for Rock Safe Streets, and the Late Manny
Fiallo Jr. touched many lives while serving as the Family and Community Engagement Spe-
cialist at the Beach 41st Community Center, said Richards.
