F
ormer New York City
Council Member Larry
Seabrook, who represented the
12th Council District in the
Bronx, was sentenced on
Tuesday (January 8) in
Manhattan federal court to five
years in prison after being con-
victed on nine counts for public
corruption crimes in a July 2012
jury trial.
According to the
Indictment, other court docu-
ments, and the evidence present-
ed at trial: Seabrook served as a
member of the New York City
Council (the Council) from
January 2002 until his July 2012
conviction in this case.
In that capacity, his official
duties included: voting on legis-
lation, representing and advocat-
ing for the interests of his con-
stituents, and allocating New
York City funds to non-profit
organizations.
Seabrook was sentenced by
Federal District Judge Deborah
A. Batts, who also presided over
his trial.
From 2002 through 2009,
Seabrook directed numerous city
contracts valued at more than $2
million to purportedly independ-
ent non-profit organizations sup-
posedly doing community-bene-
fit work in the north Bronx. In
fact, however, Seabrook con-
trolled these non-profit organiza-
tions, negotiating the leasing of
their office space, creating their
budgets, and making their per-
sonnel decisions.
The non-profit organizations
Seabrook controlled were funded
exclusively by funds allocated by
the Council, primarily at the
direction of Seabrook.
Hundreds of thousands of
dollars in Council funds received
by the non-profit organizations
were disbursed among
Seabrooks girlfriend, brother,
two sisters, and nephew.
Seabrook knew these non-
profit organizations were not
doing enough legitimate work to
justify the funds they were
receiving from the Council, so to
continue the Citys disbursement
of funds, Seabrook and others
made misrepresentations to the
City and to the Council.

M
any are curious to know what it is
like being a woman working in
Saudi Arabia. I get queried on women
driving, women in business, multiple
wives, wearing the Abaya, censorship,
womens rights and many other ques-
tions.
Although I have been in Saudi Arabia
for almost 3 years and have somewhat
adjusted to a totally different way of life,
I often reminisce about New York.
My friends always say, I dont know
how you can work in Saudi Arabia. I
would be lying if I said things are easy,
but how different is Saudi Arabia from
other parts of the world when it comes to
women and leadership?
In the November 2012 issue of the
Guardian Newspaper, I read an article
titled Women bishops: Church of
England votes no - as it happened. The
Church of England General Synod votes
against allowing women to become bish-
ops. Tavia Grant, a writer at Global and
Mail stated that, in Toronto, Canada
women in leadership roles are underrep-
resented, from the political arenas to cor-
porate boardrooms. Female visible
minorities are almost absent from top
jobs.
In America, we are yet to see a
female president. In an article written by
Doug Guthrie, Contributor at Forbes
Magazine titles, the Logic of Women's
Leadership he stated that it is an unfor-
tunate fact of life that women often do not
have equality with men in the workplace
or in the highest ranks of power.
Developed countries have their chal-
lenges or resistance with women in lead-
ership roles similarly to third world coun-
tries. As a woman, I am appreciative that
I was given a leadership role so I take it
very seriously. Although I am somewhat
trusted, I do observe being monitored.
A study showed, women bosses are
viewed as less competent than their male
counterparts. Leadership continues to be
viewed as a culturally masculine position.
I am not in a leadership role to prove my
competences, because I realize that some
may have a preconceived idea of women
in leadership.
In fact, they may not even view or
acknowledge women as leaders. With that
said, I dont play the Iron Woman role
because that does not work well in this
part of the world or with my personality.
At the same time, I do not play soft.
I believe one should find a balance, be
adaptable and understand the organiza-
tions culture. Whether in Saudi or any-
where else in the world I believe my lead-
ership style will work, of course at times
with adjustability.

A
pril 4, 1968 will mark 45 years that
America lost one of its greatest heroes
when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot
and killed by James Earl Ray according to
court reports.
Since then, more than 400,000
Americans have been killed by guns more
Americans, than were killed during all of
World War Two. Guns are now the most
popular weapons used by people all over the
world.
Nearly as many Americans die from
guns as from car crashes each year. In very
poor and the most wealthy neighborhood
almost everybody is armed with at least two
licensed or illegal guns.
Several weeks ago twenty Sandy Hook
Elementary School first-graders and six
school officials died in the Newtown shoot-
ing. The killer Adam Lanza armed himself
with hundreds of bullets before he entered
the Newtown school. The gunman who
killed them had killed his mother at home
before going to the school and later commit-
ted suicide.
This was a wake up call for everybody
including President Barack Obama who
declared that more effective gun control
measures must be place to prevent the
Sandy Hook type killings. Obama also
recently issue an order to end research
restrictions that "advocate or promote gun
control."
This is a positive move as for decades
policymakers were developing policies on
how to prevent gun violence but were left
shooting in the dark as they craft gun control
measures without much evidence of what
works.
Having overwhelmed with gun-related
crimes including murder, New York State is
moving to address the issues and is now the
first state to pass a gun control law -- the
toughest in the nation -- since the Sandy
Hook Elementary School shooting mas-
sacre.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into
law on January 16 that includes stricter ban
on high-capacity magazines, measures to
track ammunition sales, and tougher penal-
ties for gun crimes.
However, thousands of gun owners ral-
lied at the state Capitol in Albany on
Saturday to protest the states tough new
firearms regulations citing various reasons
including the Second Amendment to the
United States Constitution on the part of the
United States Bill of Rights that protects the
rights of the people to keep and bear arms.
But, the United States Constitution also
seeks to protect the rights of everybody and
to protect people from vicious and cruel
attackers like Adam Lanza.
Our political leaders and civil societies
must standup to protect the people from
criminals who choose the gun as their
weapon of choice.

Specifically, they failed to disclose
that the non-profit organizations were
associated with Seabrook. The organiza-
tions lacked the ability to perform the
contracts being awarded to them, and that
the funds allocated to the organizations
would benefit Seabrooks friends and
family.
Seabrook and others also made false
and inflated claims to the City and to the
Council about the expenses that the non-
profit organizations were incurring.
Furthermore, rather than leasing
space directly from the landlords of the
properties they used, Seabrook arranged
for his non-profit organizations to enter
into fraudulent and inflated subleases
with another organization he controlled
(called the African-American Bronx
Unity Day Parade, or the Unity Day
Parade) which in turn leased the space
directly from the actual landlords.
Each year, three of Seabrooks non-
profit organizations paid the Unity Day
Parade a substantially greater amount
than the rent paid to the actual landlord.
In connection with this rent scheme
alone, Seabrook and his co-conspirators
defrauded the City of more than $95,000.
In the summer of 2005, in an effort to
increase diversity in the ranks of the New
York City Fire Department (the
FDNY), the Council allocated approxi-
mately $1.5 million to, among other
things, recruit and train minorities to pass
the firefighter examination.
In 2006, Seabrook recommended to
the Council that one of the non-profit
organizations he controlled, the North
East Bronx Redevelopment Corporation
(NEBRC), receive approximately
$300,000 of funds that the Council had
allocated to the FDNY diversity initiative
through John Jay College of Criminal
Justice (the College).
The Council allocated $750,000 to
the College, and directed the College to
subcontract with NEBRC in the amount
of $300.

New York (CNN) --
G
ov. Andrew Cuomo beefed up New
York's gun-control laws on Tuesday
by signing into law a new package of
firearm and mental health regulations that
mark the nation's first since last month's
massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
Cuomo, a self-described gun owner,
said the December 14 tragedy spurred
lawmakers to action and called it a "com-
mon sense" measure before enacting what
are widely seen as America's toughest gun
laws. "You can overpower the extremists
with intelligence and common sense," he
said before inking the deal in Albany.
The laws fortify New York's existing
assault weapons ban, limit the number of
bullets allowed in magazines and strength-
en rules that govern the mentally ill, which
includes a requirement to report potential-
ly harmful behavior.
Both the GOP-controlled Senate and
Democrat-dominated Assembly approved
the measure by overwhelming margins just
one week after Cuomo spelled out the pro-
posals in his annual State of the State
address.
The first-term Democratic governor
had called for a tightening of the assault
weapons ban, background checks for peo-
ple who purchase guns privately and more
restrictions on high-capacity magazines.
But the new measures drew ire from
the nation's largest gun lobby over the
speed with which the bill was passed in
the new legislative session.
The National Rifle Association
accused Cuomo and other state lawmakers
of orchestrating "a secretive end-run
around the legislative and democratic
process."

K
ings County District Attorney Charles J.
Hynes on Tuesday (January 22)
announced the sentencing of Nechemya
Weberman, 54, to 103 years in prison for sex-
ually abusing a young girl over the course of
three years. He was convicted on the top
count of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a
Child in the First Degree on December 10,
2012 before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice
John Ingram.
District Attorney Hynes said, If there is
one message to take away from this case it is
that this office will pursue the evil of sexual
abuse of a child no matter where it occurs in
this county. We must protect our children
from sexual predators.
The abuse of a child cannot be swept
under the rug or dealt with by insular groups
believing only they know what is best for
their community. In this case it took the
courage of a young woman to drive home the
point that justice can only be achieved
through the involvement of civil authorities
charged with protecting all the people.
Weberman was counseling the victim
beginning when she was 12. From 2007 to
2010, Weberman sexually abused the girl
multiple times, mostly in his office.
Weberman was convicted on one count
of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child
in the First Degree, 12 counts of Criminal
Sexual Act in the Second Degree, two counts
of Criminal Sexual Act in the Third Degree,
18 counts of Sexual Abuse in the Second
Degree, 25 counts of Sexual Abuse in the
Third Degree, and one count of Endangering
the Welfare of a Child.

A
s the number of flu cases keeps rising
across the country, federal officials
say it's still not too late to get a flu shot.
The Center for Disease Control says
this year's flu season has been worse than
average and started earlier than usual.
29 children have died so far this flu
season, up from 34 during all of last year's
flu season.
About 90 percent of flu deaths are in
the elderly, but the very young are also at
higher risk, along with people suffering
other health problems, like diabetes.
The flu is widespread in all states but
Tennessee and Hawaii.
Federal officials are encouraging peo-
ple to stay home if they show symptoms of
the flu.
Flu Season Worse Than Average
WASHINGTON, DC,(AFP)
P
resident Barack Obama inaugurated
his second term yesterday with an
ardent call for unity, but warned his foes
their 'absolutism' must not thwart action
on climate change, immigration and gun
control.
Obama was publicly sworn in for
another four White House years before a
flag-waving crowd of hundreds of thou-
sands, then delivered an inaugural address
in which poetic power veiled clear signs
of a liberal governing agenda.
"We do not believe that in this coun-
try freedom is reserved for the lucky, or
happiness for the few," Obama said from
the Stars and Stripes-draped West Front of
the US Capitol building, the epicentre of
America's political divides.
The 44th president repeatedly used
the "We the People" preamble to the US
Constitution to suggest how to reconcile
America's founding truths and the current
discord and dysfunction of its embittered
political system.
"Decisions are upon us, and we can-
not afford delay," said Obama, flexing the
freedom of a leader who no longer needs
to face voters, and the urgency of a presi-
dent who knows that second-term powers
soon wane.
"We cannot mistake absolutism for
principle, or substitute spectacle for poli-
tics, or treat name-calling as reasoned
debate. We must act, knowing that our
work will be imperfect," Obama declared.
Though his speech was watched
across the globe, Obama sketched over
foreign policy, disdaining "perpetual war"
and promising diplomatic engagement
backed with military steel though he
did not dwell on specific crises like Iran.
"We will show the courage to try and
resolve our differences with other nations
peacefully not because we are naive
about the dangers we face, but because
engagement can more durably lift suspi-
cion and fear."

Caribbean Rum Facing
Serious Challenges
Kingston, Jamaica
A
ccording to recent Caribbean and indus-
try press reports and analysis, it was
suggested that the combined effects of the
way US tax breaks for rum producers in the
US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are being
deployed and new FTA agreements conclud-
ed by the EU could prove devastating for
the Caribbean rum sector.
There are growing calls in the region for
concerted Caribbean action to challenge the
US tax breaks as illegitimate forms of sub-
sidisation within the WTO. A legal opinion
from the Geneva-based Advisory Centre on
WTO Law (ACWL) has confirmed that
CARIFORUM countries have a solid case for
the US government to answer under the terms
of the Subsidies and Countervailing
Measures Agreement.

G
uyanese businessman and pilot, Captain
Paul Ronald Reece who serves as
Chairman and CEO of the new upstart Fly
Jamaica Airways was on hand at the Jamaica
Consulate in New York City on Thursday,
January 17th along with his colleagues,
Captain Lloyd Tai, who holds the distinction
of being Air Jamaicas first pilot as well as
former Air Jamaica executive, Will Rogers, a
consultant to the project and Ann Marie
Francis who will serve as Area Manager for
the New York region.
The team flew in from Kingston,
Jamaica where they had the Jamaica launch
the evening before. It is being reported that
Prime Minister Portia Simpson-Miller was at
the event and pledged her support for the
venture which brings together the Crme de
la Crme of the previous Air Jamaica staff
and executives.
The New York launch was under the
auspices of the Herman LaMont, Jamaicas
Consul General to New York. It was a
packed event with several industry insiders
present like Pat Lawrence of Alken Tours,
Barbara and Ken Whittaker of Kenbar
Vacations and so many others.
In the spirit of promoting national
pride and regionalism, the team has stated
that they are awaiting final sign offs from the
TSA and the Port Authority before they can
announce the date of the first flight.
According to Captain Tai, it could be as
early as next week but until the necessary
paper work is approved they remain in a
holding pattern.
Irwin Clare, founder of Team Jamaica
Bickle was delighted, This is regionalism at
its zenith, he said, You know I am all about
one Caribbean. This business model bodes
well for all parties involved and Clare con-
curs. This is good for Jamaica and its good
for Guyanasoon we will have flights going
into and out of Guyana and then Sao Paulo in
Brazil.
Jamaica Airways is tentatively set to
launch four flights weekly from JFK (termi-
nal one) and travelers will get two checked
bags free and yes, they have agreed to bring
back food to the flights. True Jamaican hos-
pitality, is what they are promising those
who will go to their website and book their
flights. This is YOUR airline, said
Captain Reece.
FLY JAMAICA PREPARES FOR JANUARY 25 TAKE OFF:
Jamaican Consul General, New York, Herman LaMont (l) and Fly Jamaica Airways, COO, Captain Lloyd Tai (r) along with
members of the Jamaican diaspora in New York City at a launch party for the new airline held on Thursday (January 17) at
the Consul General Office, Manhattan. Fly Jamaica will make its first commercial flight on January 25 -- from the Norman
Manley International Airport in Kingston to JFK Airport in New York. Fly Jamaica will start off operating one Boeing 757-200
aircraft, which can seat up to 200 passengers, with four flights weekly from Kingston. Captain Tai, said that the airline will
not operate as a low-cost carrier. Services will include business and economy classes, two free checked bags, free meals
on all flights, and service in all cabins, Tia told Jamaican and Caribbean nationals attending the launch.

B
eing arrested or detained by the
police is a frightening experience.
Here are a few things you should
know.
An arrest occurs when a law
enforcement officer takes you into
custody and you are not free to go. If
you are suspected of being involved in
a crime, you can also be legally
detained for a short period of time for
questioning without being arrested.
To arrest you, the officer needs
probable cause and an arrest warrant.
The most notable exception to this
rule is when the officer sees you com-
mit a crime.
A Warrant Is Usually Required
Law enforcement can arrest you
without a warrant if there is probable
cause or good reason to believe you
committed a serious crime. Police can
make arrests without a warrant if fast
action is needed to prevent a suspect
from escaping, destroying evidence,
endangering someones life or serious-
ly damaging property.
An arrest warrant is usually
required before you can be taken into
custody from your home. After knock-
ing, the officer must identify himself
or herself and tell you that you are
going to be arrested. You can ask to
see the warrant before opening the
door. If you refuse, the officer can
break into your home.
Miranda Rights Must Be Read
The U.S. Constitution guarantees
Miranda rights to adult citizens and
non-citizens who are arrested. Before
a law enforcement officer questions
you, he or she should tell you: You
have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say may be used against
you.
You have a right to have a lawyer
present while you are questioned. If
you cannot afford a lawyer, one will
be appointed for you.
You do not have to make an
excuse, provide an alibi or make any
statements at all. You do not have to
answer any questions except to give
your name and address and show
some identification. Neither does a
passenger in your car. You can ask for
an attorney.
Anything else you say to yourself
or to anyone else in the police car or in
a jail cell is admissible evidence.
Do not sign anything that hasnt
been reviewed by your lawyer.
If you choose to waive your
rights and answer questions, any of
those statements can be used against
you in court. Tell the truth. Do not pro-
vide false documents. Providing false
information to a police officer is a
crime in and of itself.
Do Not Resist Arrest
If you are arrested, stay calm. Do
not resist, touch, threaten or argue
with any police officer. Do not try to
run away. Keep your hands where the
police can see them. Resisting arrest
or detention is a crime in its own right,
even if you are innocent of the crime
for which you have been arrested. An
officer can use force to overcome
resistance or prevent escape.
Permission Usually
Needed to Search
To search you or your vehicle
without your permission, the police
must have a search warrant or have
arrested you, or have probable cause
that you committed a crime. When
you are arrested, an officer can seize
any evidence of a crime that is in plain
sight.
In any other situation, you have
the right to refuse to consent to a
search of your car or your home. If
you are arrested at home, go outside

No punishment for Samuels
MELBOURNE, Australia (CMC):
W
est Indies middle order batsman
Marlon Samuels has escaped pun-
ishment for his role in an ugly clash with
Shane Warne, captain of the Melbourne
Stars, during a match of the Australian Big
Bash League.
Samuels, who plays for Melbourne
Renegades, was found guilty by Cricket
Australia of conduct unbecoming.
However, he has been let off with a repri-
mand by Commissioner John Price, who
acknowledged his conduct had resulted
from "extreme provocation".
Warne was given a $4,500 fine and a
match suspension from the heated clash
between the Stars and Renegades January
6. Samuels' charge of engaging in inappro-
priate and deliberate physical contact with
other players from that match was dis-
missed.

I
n large part because of immigration, the
child population in the United States is
rapidly changing. In 2010, nearly one in
four U.S. children under eighteen was the
child of an immigrant. Latino, Black, Asian,
and multiracial children together are nearing
a majority of the nations children.
These minority children already
account for more than half of U.S. children
under age one. The Migration Policy
Institute (MPI), a Think Tank at the U.S.
State Department, recently released a study
on the children of African and Caribbean
immigrants in the United States.
The study is the first to focus on chil-
dren age ten and under. The MPI Study was
the first to focus on younger children ten
years and under. The demographics of
the population are changingshowing a
drop-off of immigrants into the U.S. from
the CaribbeanHaiti being the exception
and an uptick from Africa in the last ten
years.
The increase of migrants from Haiti
since the earthquake in 2010 was a result of
relaxed U.S. immigration quotas for
Haitians.
The research finds a number of protec-
tive factors for children in families headed
by immigrants from Africa or the
Caribbean, including high rates of parental
education and workforce participation, high
rates of English proficiency, strong parental
support for education and healthy maternal
behaviors (such as lower rates of smoking
and higher rates of breastfeeding). One
striking and consistent finding is the high
rate of center-based child care among chil-
dren of Black immigrants.
Yet the news is not all positive. There
are two areas in particular where children of
Black immigrants overall face greater risks
than other children of immigrants: family
structure and housing, said volume co-edi-
tor Randy Capps, an MPI senior policy ana-
lyst. They are significantly more likely to
live in single-parent families than children
of Hispanic, Asian or white immigrants.
And they are less likely
than non-Hispanic white and Asian children
to live in homes that their parents own, and
more likely to live in crowded housing.
Among other findings in the book
(Excerpt): Advanced education and predom-
inance of English: African immigrants are
substantially more likely than the U.S. pop-
ulation overall to hold a four-year college
degree or higher (38 versus 27 percent).
Seventy-five percent of Black immigrants
speak English fluently compared to 48 per-
cent of immigrants overall. Educational
attainment and English proficiency repre-
sent important advantages for Black immi-
grant parents in promoting early child
development factors associated with
higher earnings and better socioeconomic
status in America.
Poverty rates vary: Overall, poverty rates
among children of Black immigrants (19
percent) are lower than those for children of
native Blacks (35 percent), but nearly twice
as high as those for children of native non-
Hispanic whites (10 percent).
Struggles in academic achievement:
Studies of two of the nations largest urban
school districts
(New York City and Miami-Dade
County) suggest that Black immigrant stu-
dents face significant hurdles to strong aca-
demic performance including English
language proficiency and school segrega-
tion. The studies focus on first-generation
students, who may not have had the advan-
tages of center-based child care and other
early childhood supports that U.S.-born
children of immigrants often receive.
With respect to the readiness of ele-
mentary school Caribbean children, the
findings were mixed. There is a concern in
new York that Caribbean students are falling
behind. At the top end, they are among the
better prepared students; however, on aver-
age they are doing slightly better than
Latino immigrants and not that much better
than African American students. There is a
difference in the Study's findings between
first generation immigrant students and sec-
ond generation immigrant students with the
latter perform better academically.
A model for educational advocacy One
of the most active and important organiza-
tions in the Caribbean community, the
Union of Jamaican Alumni Organizations,
has had among its objectives, the academic
development of Jamaican American chil-
dren. Jamaican alumni organizations under-
stand that the success of our children is
intrinsically connected to the future of our
communities in the diaspora, and potential-
ly to the development of Jamaica as a
nation. As partners in the nation's develop-
ment, Jamaicans in the diaspora continue to
be the most active in contributing to educa-
tion back home.
Contributions of books, computers,
funds to pay teacher salaries, build labs and
even build schools, are at the center of the
mission of alumni organizations in the dias-
pora. But more needs to be done, as a com-
munity, if we are change for the better the
findings of the MPI study.
Clearly, collaboration among
Caribbean American nationals on behalf of
our children is important. A shared agenda
would be inclusive of: a) collective advoca-
cy on behalf of children; b) greater involve-
ment in the public schools; c) the establish-
ment of quality child care centers; and d)
involvement in leadership in schools and
outside the schools. Also of importance is
how we can more effectively engage and
utilize the resources and academic talent of
Caribbean diaspora educators, particularly
those in science and technology.

International Reggae Museum
for Nine Mile, Jamaica
Stamford, Ct.
T
he Roger Steffens' Archive
/International Reggae Museum
Kickstarter Project was launched on
Kickstarter.com today, January 22, 2013 for
acquisition of The Roger Steffens Reggae
Archive, the largest single collection of
Reggae artifacts in the world and the estab-
lishment of the International Reggae
Museum in Jamaica.
Dual National, Chazz P.Morris, the
visionary behind this exciting initiative,
announced the launch of the Kickstarter
Project to acquire the largest single collec-
tion of Reggae artifacts in the world from the
internationally renowned Roger Steffens.
With this acquisition plans are to erect
The International Reggae Museum in Nine
Mile District, St. Ann, Jamaica. The total
value of the the Archive is $3,000,000 US
dollars (three million), based on the apprais-
al given by Robert Santelli, Chairman of the
Grammy Museum.
The funding/budget will be used to not
only acquire the collection but will con-
tribute to the establishment/setting up of the
'International Reggae Museum' in Jamaica
which will house the Steffen's collection and
other material.
We must reach our target to make this
project a reality because if we dont, all
pledges will be returned and we wont get to
take this extraordinary collection home to
Jamaica, says Chazz, adding: this acquisi-
tion has been a long time coming and now
the opportunity is here to preserve the histo-
ry of Reggae Music by acquiring this one of
a kind collection.
The Roger Steffens' Reggae Archive
highlights in great detail the career of Bob
Marley and the Wailers, featuring Steffens'
definitive collection of their recordings and a
massive display of autographed singles from
all stages of their careers. In addition, hun-
dreds of Jamaican artists will be showcased
along with detailed information about their
work.
In this manner, the story of those who
took Reggae from its small island roots and
transformed it into a global culture is traced.
Priceless artifacts tell the half that's never
been told; a living history celebrating
Jamaica's musical creativity.
Included in the collections are hundreds
of autographed album covers and rare sin-
gles, one of a kind Marley treasures, posters
from around the world, original photo-
graphs, fliers, T-shirts, post cards, maga-
zines, books, banners, buttons, and scores of
other memorabilia from Reggae's most
famous figures including a section devoted
to its Spiritual head Emperor Haile Selassie.

EDUCATION
The Roots of
Socialization
S
ocialization is the gradual ways that all
living beings learn the rules of their
society. This process is also described as
guidance and discipline. This process starts
at an early age.
Children depend on the adults that care
for them to guide and discipline them in
order for them to become socialized to their
societal norms and in doing so will become
positive contributors to their society.
When children are taught guidance and
discipline they will learn how to self-regu-
late; which is the ability to control their
bodily functions, manage powerful emo-
tions, and maintain focus and attention.
You must be a good observer. When
guiding children you must: give them limits
based on their age, create a safe environ-
ment, develop trust and avoid punishment,
shame fear or belittling.
We need to ask ourselves how we help
young children to learn acceptable behavior
through discipline and guidance. How do
we determine the best method that is good-
ness of fit for each child?
Discipline is a positive constructive
way of teaching. True discipline is not pun-
ishment. These two are often confused by
being defined as the same they are both dif-
ferent in approach and results. Punishment
usually gives bad feelings, has a negative
effect.
Spanking, shaming, yelling, criticizing
or lacking the child in a room. Punishment
may lead to defiance, lying, or sneaking
behaviors. You may express your anger
with the child but this behavior does not
teach the child the social lesson that you
intended.
For example when you slap a child on
the hand as she reaches for the hot stove,
the child focus on the pain the limit that you
are trying to set is lost. Research shows that
toddlers who are slapped do not remember
why they were slapped.
Discipline teaches compliance by
affirming the childs dignity. Discipline
focuses on the rule that you need the child
to learn and the good reasons for the rule
not on the childs wrong doing. This does
not raise feelings of anxiety and the child
rejection.
Positive discipline the childs growing
confidence in the world around her. The
objective of discipline is to have the child
obey rules when you are not around to
enforce them. The aim is to build the childs
inner controls, to develop in the child a long
habit of governing his or her behavior. This
is also referred to as self regulation.
You need to instill confidence through
affectionate and trusting relationships in
infants and toddlers this is crucial as the
child gets older. When toddlers see that you
have a concern for their well being they will
be more willing to adhere to your social
rules, and will behave as you expect them
to.

Personally growing up in an inner city community consisting of financial and academic
challenges now at the University at Albany, I truly realize the importance of a college edu-
cation. Ashley is currently a first year student at SUNY Albany pursuing a major in Public
Health and expects to graduate in June of 2016.

S
ometimes mother nature needs a
nudge, especially when you and your
hair have different opinions on just how
you should look.
Have natural hair and are thinking of
texturizing? Do you want long hair?
Having problems with breakage? Hair
growth not how you would like it to be?
Need tips on putting together a new hair
care regime?
Here are some of the best recommen-
dations on growing your hair long and
healthy and keeping it in tip top shape.
Five Common
Hair Styling Mistakes:
1. Too much heat. Turn your heat styling
tools down, burnt hair can not be repaired.
2. Not neutralizing the relaxer right. Make
sure you get all of the relaxer out of the
hair, especially paying attention to the
base of the neck area, if you dont want to
end up with on going breaking hair.
3. Relaxing too often. Unless your hair
style is short, its recommended anywhere
from 6-12 week intervals between relax-
ers.
4. Wearing too tight tension hairstyles,
such as cornrows, braids or tight ponytails.
Doing this will take its toll over time and
may end up with receding hairline or thin-
ning areas at the temples.
5. Towel drying your hair wrong. When
you towel dry your hair after shampooing
always blot, do not rub, as rubbing will
cause friction, which will roughen the cuti-
cle causing the hair to look dull.

What They say about Martin Luther King
M
artin Luther King Jr. was
born on January 15, 1929 in
Atlanta, Georgia. King, both a
Baptist minister and civil-rights
activist, had a seismic impact on
race relations in the United States,
beginning in the mid-1950s.
Among many efforts, King headed
the SCLC.
Through his activism, he
played a pivotal role in ending the
legal segregation of African-
American citizens in the South and
other areas of the nation, as well
as the creation of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and the
Voting Rights Act of 1965.
King received the Nobel Peace
Prize in 1964, among several
other honors.
King was assassinated in
April 1968, and continues to be
remembered as one of the most
lauded African-American lead-
ers in history, often referenced
by his 1963 speech, "I Have a
Dream."
By Yvette D. Clarke
U.S. Representative
T
oday is another symbolic
moment in our nations histo-
ry as Americans witness the lega-
cies of past, present, and future.
President Obamas inaugural
address echoed a call of action for
all Americans to work together in
order for our nation to move for-
ward.
We are indeed one nation
and one people. Let us never for-
get the adversities we have over-
come as a nation and put aside our
differences to build a better socie-
ty for future generations.
We have the
responsibility
to set the
example and
to honor the
dream of the
late Dr. King.
I look for-
ward to work-
ing alongside the Obama adminis-
tration, my colleagues in
Congress, and my fellow
Americans to address our nations
priorities climate change, gun
control, healthcare, strengthening
our economy, education and immi-
gration reform.

W
e come together to reflect
upon and honor the life and
legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. Each year at this time we are
powerfully reminded of Dr. Kings
decades long non-violent pursuit
of equality, freedom, and justice.
His lessons live on, reminding
every. American
that it is possi-
ble to fight for
and achieve
lasting social
change when
you keep your
eyes on the
prize.
By David Laska
Director of Communications
New York State Republican Party
A
mericans pause to honor Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., one
of history's greatest civil rights
icons.
At the height of the U.S. civil
rights movement, Dr. King rallied
our Nation to live up to the prom-
ise of full equality under the law,
without regard to race, color, or
creed. His dream of a Nation in
which Americans were judged not
"by the color of their skin but by
the content of their character"
echoes through the ages.
The NYGOP is proud of the
Republican Party's history of fight-
ing for civil rights.
Founded as the anti-slavery
party, Republicans fought to
amend the Constitution to grant
African-Americans freedom, citi-
zenship and the
right to vote.
Civil rights leg-
islation from
the 1860s to the
1960s was
passed with
strong Repu-
blican support.
Republicans started the
NAACP and President Nixon's
1969 Philadelphia Plan, crafted by
African-American Republican Art
Fletcher, set the nation's fist goals
and timetables to increase African-
American employment to offset
institutionalized discrimination.
We encourage all New
Yorkers to take a moment to con-
sider the lasting impact of Dr.
King's ideals and their continuing
relevance today.
Honoring the dream of Dr. King Achieving lasting social change
History greatest civil rights icons
By Council Member
Jumaane D. Williams (D-Brooklyn)
T
oday is a momentous day in our
country's history, for we get to
celebrate a legend of the civil rights
movement and a president who we
have tasked with that legacy. As we
take part in one of our nation's great-
est traditions, we look forward to the
next four years and the progressive
agenda that President Obama out-
lined for us on the Capitol.
It is time to take on great chal-
lenges like climate change, equal
pay for women and the pursuit of
peace and justice with the same
vigor that drove us to re-elect him.
We are sending the President back to
the White House just as we are com-
mitting ourselves to be active in the
struggle for our country's future.
Struggle is something Dr. King
knew very well, something that he
lived. He fear-
lessly chal-
lenged the sta-
tus quo, and
while he was
peaceful, he
was not a paci-
fist. He under-
stood that it
takes agitation
to combat injustice, something
understood by those who carry his
mantle today. From the immigrants
on our southern border to the labor-
ers across the Midwest, from the
encampments of Occupy Wall Street
to the streets of East Flatbush, that
desire to agitate for a more equal
society lives on and waits for more
of us to join the cause.
Happy birthday, Dr. King.
Godspeed, Mr. President.

LIFE STYLE
Dear Divine Diva,
I
started dating a guy a while back and
everything was perfect between us. We
stopped dating because of an argument we
got into.
A few months went by and he ended
up dating someone new, my friends were
telling me to get over him. It may sound
weird, but my mind was telling me not to.
He and his girlfriend were together
for 5 months when I saw him at a party.
The whole night, he stared at me and
talked about me to all his friends. The
very next weekend, I saw him again at
another party where he did the exact same
thing.
After I had seen him the second time,
he broke up with his girlfriend. I tried
writing him a message, but he did not
respond. I think its because I did not talk
to him in person. He went on vacation
with his ex and another couple, and when
they got back, she complained that he did
not even ackowledged her.
After 4 months of being broken up,
their back together. I feel its because I
missed my chance with him. I still have
that strong feeling that something's going
happen between us again. What should I
do? -Jasmine in Brooklyn
Dear Jasmine:
Y
ou know that he is seeing someone
else. If you feel that strong you
should talk to him the next time you see
him.
However, don't make yourself so
available to him. Just like he's dating get
up and get out and find yourself someone.
Fix yourself up and don't concentrate all
your time and energy on him.
If its meant to be he will be back, but
don't ever let him think he's more impor-
tant than you. Men are strange and when
they think they got you, sometimes they
will make a fool out of you.
There is nothing wrong with waiting
on him but while you are waiting have
some fun. You might find that you are not
that in to him. -Always Divine Diva

aybe you're in premarital counseling
right now, or maybe it's the last thing
on your mind. Either way, you already
know there are a few touchy issues engaged
couples are "supposed" to talk about before
making it official.
You should talk about Kids If it hasn't
already come up, now is the time to discuss
whether you want children. But here's the
surprising thing: You shouldn't stop there.
It's important to discuss where each
stand on the issues that'll crop up once you
start trying. Issues such as, "Are you open
to adoption if it's necessary?" or "How our
child/children should be disciplined when
they disobey?"
Issues like these can become knock-
down, drag-out fights later on, so it's better
to discuss them now.
Money and your careers One of the
biggest things married couples fight about
is finances. Decide whether you'll pool all
your money or keep separate accounts, and
determine which accounts you'll draw from
for everyday expenses and for big invest-
ments.
And if one of you is a spender and the
other is a saver, choose amounts to set aside
for the future and for personal spending that
you'll both be satisfied with
Religion and values play a bigger role in
marriage than some couples expect.
Fights happen when the other person
turns out to be more religious than they
thought. You might go into marriage not
caring, but the problems start as the chil-
dren arrive and you're deciding how to raise
them.
Talk about your faith, and how you see
it affecting your shared life, right now.
How you'll handle fights Arguments are
inevitable, but it's how couples handle them
that determines whether they'll get through
the fights. Make sure you understand each
other's way of managing conflict. Whatever
your argument style is, hash out what
counts as acceptable fight behavior and
what's off-limits, learn to pull back a little
Your deal breakers and your bucket
lists If there's anything else that you know
will drive you nuts in a marriage, it's better
to chat about it sooner rather than later. On
the other hand, you should also be up front
about the big life goals you're dying to
accomplish.
If your partner isn't into one of your
passions at all, you can continue to do it on
your own. The key is making sure that
you're both okay with how much time you
spend apart. Source: theknot.com

ARIES (Mar. 21 Apr.
19): You're receiving con-
flicting signals from a friend
or partner, but it's probably
your interpretation that is
mixed, rather than what is
actually said. Be careful if
you're making plans that
impact someone else.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 May
20): You are usually quite
sensible, but now you could
flip between being anchored
in reality and having your
head in the clouds.
Nevertheless, be daring!
GEMINI (May 21 Jun.
20): You could be worried
about being the first one to
run into opposition because
you can see obstacles ahead
that others cannot. Instead
of wasting energy on situa-
tions that might not mani-
fest.
CANCER (Jun. 21 Jul.
22):Fighting another per-
son's battles now could be
more about your own issues
of self-worth than being of
real assistance. Others may
ultimately resent you for
smothering them, so don't
attempt to control any situa-
tion that isn't your direct
concern.
LEO (Jul. 23 Aug. 22):
There's no need to be overly
intent on attaining satisfac-
tion because forcing results
can leave you feeling unful-
filled and frustrated. Think
about others before attend-
ing to your needs.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept.
22): You're motivated to
give one hundred and ten
percent toward your job to
ensure a smoothly function-
ing work environment.
Unfortunately, you cannot
do it entirely by yourself
now. Thankfully, you have a
healthy perspective on the
current situation and are
quite effective in collaborat-
ing with others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 Oct.22):
You may attempt to sup-
press a strong opinion that
might be offensive, only to
find that someone else says
exactly what you are think-
ing. Ultimately, your inner
conflicts can mysteriously
work their way out into the
open even if you keep them
to yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 Nov.
21): The magic of love feels
nearby, along with the frus-
tration of realizing that your
current attractions are based
more on illusion than reali-
ty. You can use the excite-
ment of infatuation to spark
the romantic fires, but any
attempt to create a lasting
basis for your feelings may
be futile.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22
Dec.21): There is an obvi-
ous relationship between
how much of your feelings
you get out into the open
and the amount of resistance
you encounter. Even if it's
difficult, slow down and
deal with your emotions. .
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22
Jan. 19): You can accom-
plish more than you think
by concentrating on what's
directly in front of your
nose. Even if something
sounds like a great idea, let
it pass for now. You don't
have to go out to conquer
the world or lead a parade.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20
Feb. 18): You may want to
take a quick escape but too
much activity in your daily
life prevents you from
retreating. Your desire for
success will likely outweigh
any lack of concentration
you might be experiencing.
track.
PISCES (Feb. 19 Mar.
20): You aren't completely
sure what you want to do
yet, but your plan is grow-
ing clearer day by day. At
least you understand what's
most important now, and
can start making choices
based upon your priorities,
instead of just flying by the
seat of your pants.

lood pressure is the force of blood
against the walls of our arteries. Blood
pressure rises and falls throughout the day.
When the pressure stays elevated over
time, it is considered high blood pressure.
The medical term for high blood pres-
sure is hypertension. High blood pressure
is dangerous because it makes the heart
work harder than it should and contributes
to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arter-
ies).
If hypertension remains untreated, it
may lead to more serious health problems.
It increases the risk of heart disease and
stroke, the first and third-leading causes of
death among Americans.
High blood pressure also can result in
other conditions, such as congestive heart
failure, kidney disease, and blindness.
Risk Factors for Heart Disease
Risk factors are conditions or behav-
iors that increase your likelihood of devel-
oping a disease. When you have more than
one for heart disease, your risk greatly mul-
tiplies.
So if you have high blood pressure,
you need to take action. Fortunately, most
of the heart disease risk factors are largely
within your control.
High blood pressure affects about 50
million---or one in four--- American adults.
Some people are more likely to develop it
than others. It is especially common among
African Americans, who tend to develop it
earlier and more often than whites.
Also, many Americans tend to develop
high blood pressure as they get older, but
hypertension is not a part of healthy aging.
About 60 percent of all Americans age 60
and older have high blood pressure.
Others at high risk of developing
hypertension are people who are over-
weight, those with a family history of high
blood pressure, and those with a high blood
pressure.
Blood Pressure Levels for Adults
For adults 18 and older who are not on
medicine for high blood pressure and do
not have a short-term serious illness.
Nutrition Management
Eat a well-balanced diet: eat a diet con-
taining a wide variety of fruits and vegeta-
bles, whole grains, low-fat dairy products,
lean meats, poultry and fish.
Eat a diet low in fat and sodium: eating
high fat foods can cause you to gain
weight. Foods high in sodium cause your
body to retain water. This increases the
amount of blood circulating in your arteries
and may result in a rise in blood pressure.
Lose weight, if overweight: Getting rid
of excess weight may help reduce blood
pressure levels.
Exercise regularly: exercising on a regu-
lar basis helps your heart and blood vessels
function better.
Physical activity may also help you
lose weight. Avoid muscle-building activi-
ties such as weight lifting because they may
increase your blood pressure.
Other Management Tools
Have regular checkups: this way you will
always know whether or not your blood
pressure is under control.
Quit cigarette smoking: smoking causes
damage to blood vessels. It is also a major
risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
Take medication: When you are unable to
control your high blood pressure by follow-
ing the above suggestions, your doctor may
prescribe one or more medications to help
control it.

epsi and Coke both sell "natural" food
smoothies and other products under

Pepsi and Coke only pretend to sup-

Naked or Odwalla juice.
Lets look at the facts:
-In its early days, Odwalla was a small
company owned by a few individuals that
made real, raw food juices. Since its acqui-
sition by Coca Cola in 2001, almost every-
thing has changed.
-Naked juice was sued for knowingly
using GMOs in its juice, when it adver-
tised as "all natural" and "Non-GMO."
-Neither of these food drinks use organic
produce, which means you're ingesting
pesticides.
-
Naked juice was found to contain fruc-
tooligosaccharides, fibersol-2 and inulin;
three synthetic ingredients.
-Both Naked and Odwalla juices are pas-
teurized, meaning most of the nutrients in
them have already been destroyed before
they ever reach store shelves.
-Both products feature the words All
Natural which means exactly nothing, as
they can contain pesticides, artificial
ingredients, GMOs and are pasteurized.
- For less than the cost of these over priced
faux health drinks you can buy organic
produce and make your own organic,
GMO-free juice that contains many times
more more nutrients.

Odwalla owned by Coca-Cola

rooklyn-based Super Wings NY was
featured on Bobby Deans Not My
Mamas Meals on the Cooking Channel,
Wednesday, January 16th.
In the episode, Super Wings CEO
Colette Cyrus-Burnett whips up a batch of
her world famous Bajan Merry Mango wing
sauce. Bobby, the son of Paula Deen, and
Colette work side-by-side simmering tradi-
tional Caribbean ingredients, including
mango, to create the delicious sauce.
Super Wings serves up thirteen wing
flavors and there is a sauce to represent
most islands in the English-speaking
Caribbean. The ingredients are made entire-
ly from Caribbean flavors including:
Pineapple Jerk, Ginger Buff, and Island
BBQ, all inspired by Colettes native
Trinidad and Tobago, where recipes are a
tantalizing blend of mainly African, East
Indian, European, Chinese, Middle Eastern
and Mediterranean culinary traditions.
Burnette has gained national recogni-
tion in the United States; she won the Food
Networks Throwdown with Bobby Flay,
and Super Wings was voted Best Wings In
Brooklyn and placed #3 in the Restaurant
Sauce Off creative spicy category at the
10th Annual National Buffalo Wing
Festival in Buffalo, N.Y.
Brooklyn Borough President Marty
Markowitz said, Colette Burnett is a true
Brooklyn success storylaunching Super
Wings NY on a wing and a prayer and
turning it into two thriving eateries! More
importantly, Colette has created jobs and
employed residents in the Crown Heights
and East Flatbush communities. I like to
call myself a proud Trini, but Colette is the
real dealand all of Brooklyn congratu-
lates her on her success.

n recent weeks, a number of reflections
have appeared in the press regarding
the state of Jamaicas music industry and
few have been flattering. Media critical
of Jamaicas music is nothing new.
The March 2010 article Artist
Cheapening themselves to Make Money
with its 50 comments and the April 2010
article Is Dancehall Dying with its 196
comments, both written by Queen can
still be found in the online edition of the
Jamaica Gleaner.
A year earlier, in February 2009, the
Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music
launched its Community Conversation
Series with a forum titled Could
Dancehall be the ruination of Reggae and
by Extension the Jamaica Brand.
The current year end articles howev-
er all seem to agree that the industry has
experienced significant decline with
Donovan Germaine, the head of
Penthouse Records suggesting that
"Unless the dancehall producers and
artistes bring something new to the table
and let go of the hip-hop style that they
are readily embracing, the music will
continue to be in the gutter."
Nevertheless, many in the music fra-
ternity, the media and the community at
large choose to remain in denial about the
state of affairs and even seek to silence
those whose viewpoint may differ from
theirs.
Such was the case at the recent
Sounds of Reggae concert at Brooklyns
Barclay Center featuring Maxie Priest,
Shaggy, Beres Hammond and Ali
Campbells UB40 put on by Jammin
Entertainment and hosted by Pat McKay,
program director at SiriusXM Satellite
Radio.
During the concert, Pat McKay
informed the more than 10,000 patrons
that she had recently visited Buju Banton
and Vybz Kartel both of whom were
doing well under the circumstances and
then cautioned the audience that anyone
who had nothing but good to say about
either artist should say nothing at all.
This monolog surpassed Shaggys
scolding of the audience, some of whom
paid in excess of $200 dollars, for not
giving him a standing ovation and insist-
ing that they stand for his performance, to
become the low point of an otherwise
outstanding event. Continued on page 22

Contributing Writer
A
uthor and child sex abuse advocate
Angela Stanton shares in her memoir
Lies of a Real Housewife: Tell The Truth
and Shame the Devil, how she has paid
the toll and crossed to the other side of
being a victim of molestation at the tender
age of 5.
Abuse killed a spark inside and
brought about low self esteem. Angelas
life took a rebellious turn and through the
years led her down a lonely road of ill
fated decisions, landing her behind bars
but not before she befriended Real
Housewives of Atlanta co-star Phaedra
Parks. Angela recalls these years of pain,
heartache, and hustle. Living the fast life,
running from the police while pregnant,
losing love ones to death and betrayal from
those she called friends.
Augustus Publishing released the e-
book in spring 2012 to heavy press circu-
lation due to the pages in the book that
implicated Phaedra Parks and her husband
Apollo as masterminds and accomplices to
Angelas early days of crime. From TMZ
to Vibe Magazine and Sister 2 Sister, the
internet went crazy to learn that the south-
ern belle that we know as Phaedra wasnt
as sweet as peach cobbler according to
Angelas book.
With the release of the paperback this
month and the start of 2013 in motion
Angela Stanton is shifting gears and taking
her experiences penned in her memoir and
using them to help others. She launched a
foundation Dont Ask Just Tell which is
dedicated to raising awareness about
childhood sexual abuse and the social
impact that it has on the approximately
60-80 million survivors in the U.S. The
organization has a mission to empower
and support victims of abuse by giving
them direction and resources needed to
move forward into brighter days.
Tell us what this book is about?
Lies of a Real Housewife a memoir.
It's about a young girl that refused to give
up. After a series of heart wrenching cir-
cumstances, ranging from molestation,
rape, imprisonment and abandonment. I
survived to tell my story. A story that says
no matter what you have been through,
there is still light at the other end of the
tunnel.
Why did you choose
to write this book?
I wrote this book because I wanted to share
my story with other women who became
victims of their own circumstances. I
wanted them to see my life and how it has
flourished. How I managed to pull through
some painful situations. My life serves as
an example to those who believe they do
not have the strength to keep going. My
story says yes you do. Yes, you can.
It's been said that writing ones memoir
can prove therapeutic. How has writing
Lies of a Real Housewife helped you
move forward beyond the negativity you
experienced in life.
Lies of a real Housewife gives me a
voice, gives me a chance to tell my side of
the story without interruption. It was very
therapeutic for me because it gave me a
chance to release. Although it was painful
to write at times, because in order for me
to write the story I had to relive it. But
once I got it out, it was out. And now Im
free.
What can we look forward from you?
My most important venture is my
non-profit organization wwwwww.don-
taskjusttell.org which is geared towards
helping women who have been victims of
sexual abuse, rape and imprisonment.

Jamaican Scientist Honoured
T
he United States House of
Representatives honoured Jamaican
cancer researcher Dr. Henry Lowe with a
proclamation last month, while the New
York State Senate gave him a citation for
outstanding contributions to the sciences,
science education and exemplary public
service.
Dr. Lowe, a member of the American
Association of Cancer Research and a life
member of the New York Academy of
Sciences, received the proclamation signed
by Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke and
the citation signed by New Yorks 20th
District State Senator Eric Adams at the
Barclays Center in New York City in
December.
The proclamation from the House of
Representatives described Dr. Lowe as a
leader in the field of medical research,
researching plants indigenous to Jamaica for
their bioactive principles as well as their
potential for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical
and cosmeceuticals, and has shared his
work with other scientists and the public
through hundreds of published articles,
reports and books.
The New York State Senate citation
read in part, Whereas, it is the sense of this
legislative body that when individuals of
such noble aims and accomplishments are
brought to our attention, it is appropriate to
publicly proclaim and commend those indi-
viduals for the edification and emulation of
others.
Dr. Lowe discovered several bioactive
molecules from Jamaican medicinal plants
particularly Jamaican Ball Moss which
are being developed for cancer therapy and
treatments for diabetes and HIV/AIDS. He
is also the holder of patents based in the
areas of his research in chronic diseases.
Along with doctors Manley West and Albert
Lockhart, he developed the first commercial
product from cannabis for the treatment of
glaucoma.
Dr. Lowe is founder and executive
chairman of the Environmental Health
Foundation Group of Companies and the
Biotech R&D Institute, as well as being an
entrepreneur, scientist, cancer researcher
and academic.
Jamaica must be known for more than
reggae, sports, sun, sea and sand, Dr. Lowe
said. It is important that we encourage and
educate our citizenry to contribute signifi-
cantly in the field of science and as such
begin to place Jamaica on the map for sci-
entific research and development, which is
often times held in reserve for the first
world. We must forge ahead into new fron-
tiers that will fast-track Jamaicas economic
and social growth and development. We are
a gifted people and with vision, grit and
handwork it can be done.
Dr. Lowe, an adjunct professor at the
Department of Medicine at the University of
Maryland School of Medicine, and
Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Ethno-
medicinal Chemistry at the University of
Technology Jamaica, is also a member of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, the Royal Society
of Medicine in the United Kingdom,
Harvard Medical School Postgraduate
Association, American Association of
Pharmaceutical Scientists and the American
Chemical Society.
He has also authored multiple scientific
journal articles and books, including his
recent autobiography, It Can be Done.
Dr. Lowe specialises in medicinal
chemistry, and has contributed about 50
years in the fields of science and technolo-
gy, energy, the environment, wellness and
health sciences nationally, regionally and
internationally since graduating from the
University of the West Indies, Mona.
He has earned several recognitions
nationally and regionally, including the
Commander of the Order of Distinction in
1982 and the Order of Jamaica in 2012.
A former permanent secretary for the
government of Jamaica, Dr. Lowe
researched and established the first Ministry
of Science and Environment in the CARI-
COM region. He served as chairman, presi-
dent and chief executive officer of Blue
Cross of Jamaica.
He is also founder and executive chair-
man of the EHF Group of Companies,
which includes a private, nonprofit organi-
sation, the Environmental Health
Foundation, which was established in 1992.
He has published more than 20 books and
has three in various stages of completion at
the moment. Dr. Lowe was the first
Caribbean person to publish a science text-
book series for secondary schools, which
were not only used in Jamaica but also in
Africa.

Despite Jamaicas size and population, reg-
gae music has gained traction around the
world not only because of outstanding mar-
keting but especially because of its potent
content. In a recent NPR interview, a for-
mer Island Records executive and transla-
tor for the U.N address by president
Ahmadinejad of Iran, noted how the music
of Bob Marley was today inspiring Iranians
who were not yet born in 1981, the year
Bob Marley died.
The hallmark of reggae music and a
reason for its international appeal has been
its penchant to speak truth to power and so
the specter of the program director of a
national subscriber based broadcast chid-
ing an audience to say nothing unless they
agree with her was nothing short of stun-
ning. After the concert, while in the hall-
way I heard a patron express to Jamaicas
Consul General, his disappointment with
two hosts at SiriusXM, suggesting that the
comment was not an aberration.
Lets hope that broadcasters will act
more responsibly in 2013 and be a greater
part of the solution and less of the problem.
Carlyle McKetty is president and co-founder
of Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music (CPR)
and host of Real Talk which can be heard on
CPRLive (www.cpregggae.org), Thursdays 7-
10pm.
