Black DeniesApartments

NEW ROCHELLE

Donna Pitter wanted to live at a NewRochelle apartment complex because itwas attractive, had reasonable rents and wasacross the street from her elderly father's place.

But the working nurse never got the chanceto rent at Pelham East Apartments because ofher race, a federal lawsuit says.

Despite being told she was at the top of apurported waiting list, Pitter, who is black, saysshe faced a completely different reality whenshe showed up at the rental office and a womanthere saw the color of her skin.

Pitter's experience sparked an investigationby the Fair Housing Justice Center, a nonprofitfocused on ending housing discrimination that'salso been involved in cases in Yorktown andValley Cottage. The organization says it wasable to confirm that African-Americans wererepeatedly told no apartments would be avail-able for months at Pelham East.

Prospective white tenants, however, wereshown apartments immediately, the organiza-tion said. The lawsuit, which was filed onMonday and alleges violations of federal andstate law, also accuses the family-owned apart-ment complex of using an amorphous "waitinglist" as an advantage. -------------------------------------------------------

people are talking...!

Making decisions is a central part ofleadership. Even when a leader uses alaissez-faire leadership style, the leaderremains responsible for making many deci-sions such as the nature of the goals that fol-lowers should pursue and the type of leader-ship style that is appropriate for the situation.

Followers often look to leaders to makedecisions, particularly if they have difficultywith envisioning the specific tasks that arerequired to achieve a goal. Because of theimportance of decision making to leadership,you should understand how to approachdecision making.

To make better decisions, you shouldunderstand that decision making is a processinvolving a sequential series of steps that areoften considered part of the critical thinkingprocess.

These steps are (a) identify the problem,(b) analyze the possible solutions to theproblem, (c) evaluate which of the possiblesolutions will be most effective, and (d)select and implement the solution. These steps give you a structured frameworkto improve the quality of your decisions. Thefirst three steps focus on collecting informa-tion that is useful when making a decision.The way leaders as decision makers collectthe information often depends on their lead-ership style and the situation.

For example, the autocratic leader maybe comfortable with personally collecting theinformation, while a participative leader maybe comfortable relying on the informationprovided by others.

Identifying a problem requires that youunderstand that a problem exists and can rec-ognize the root cause of the problem. Whileit is often easy to recognize the symptoms ofa problem, the actual cause of the problemmay not be immediately apparent. As aresult, a good leader carefully evaluates thenature of the problem before considering the

possible solutions.All problems have more than one possi-

ble solution. Effective decision makingrequires identifying the range of possiblesolutions that address the root cause of theproblem.

The analysis determines the way each ofthe possible solutions will affect the prob-lem. The analysis should also consider theeffect of the possible solution on the process-es or systems used by an organization basedon the assumption that a change to fix onepart of a system may cause a new problem

with another part of the system. At the sametime, the leader must remain aware that deci-

sions have a direct effect on followers

Dr. Neva Alexander, an Educational Consultant, [email protected] www.nevalliance.com

Another African American hasbeen dumped into the pool ofinjustice and racial discrimination,as last week a New York grand juryrefused to indict NYPD OfficerDaniel Pantaleo in the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner, an AfricanAmerican resident of Staten Island.

The decision came as a shockto us, especially because the inci-dent was caught on video. Theworld watch as Pantaleo, alongwith three other officers, physicallygrab Garner.

As the 350-pound Garner fallsto the ground, Officer Pantaleo isseen hanging on his back with hisarm around his neck in a choke-hold. The video shows Garnershouting, I cant breathe severaltimes as an officer holds him in thechokehold. Garner, who was beingarrested for selling loose, untaxedcigarettes, died a few minutes later.

The autopsy from the medicalexaminer attributed Garners deathto homicide -- meaning death at the

hands of another party. Accordingto the coroners report, Garner diedas a result of compression of neck(chokehold), compression of chestand prone positioning during phys-ical restraint by police.

Despite these evidences, thegrand jury failed to indict Pantaleo.But, nobody knows exactly theinstructions from the Republican,district attorney for Staten Island,Daniel M. Donovan, Jr. or thecharges filed with the grand juryagainst Pantaleo.

In a society with racial ten-sions bubbling at the surface, toomany black men are being abusedand killed by police officers whileour district attorneys (DAs) fails tobring these unscrupulous officers tojustice.

The voters in our communitieselect these DAs, who represent thegovernment in the prosecution ofcriminal offenses. As in the case ofmost African Americans in NewYork City, the majority of the DAs

are Democrats and in some casesthey are African Americans also.

In such politically chargedenvironments, African Americansin NYC should be respected andprotected by both city and stateagencies and their operatives. Afterall, the mayor appoints the cityspolice commissioner. However, itwould appear that our white policeofficers are not getting the messageto not mess with any innocentblack man.

We agree that the DAs shouldnot be given sole authority to inves-tigate cases where police officersuse deadly force on unarmed civil-ians. However, it would appear thatwhite cops are willing to abuse orkill blacks because in most casesthey will be freed by a corrupt jus-tice system.

In our opinion, the much talkand demonstration from our civilrights leaders will not change thebehavior of the police towardsblacks. The police commissioner

must be held responsible for theracist and abusive behavior of anymember of his team.

We may not want to admit, butwe have a big political problem.We did not elect a mayor whoappoints a police chief who is man-aging a group of police officerswho are constantly picking on aparticular group of people.

In todays America where tol-erance for everything and every-body is the order of the day, boththe mayor and the police commis-sion would have to resign if a par-ticular group of NYPD officersconstantly discriminate against,abuse or kill any member of theJewish or the LGBT communities.

The political capital and influ-ence of these people would jumpinto action and immediately fix theproblem. Perhaps it is time theAfrican American community alsoseek a political solution to keepracist police, as well as the criminaljustice system, in check.

He said the largest single donations came from the Bronx: Lukes Episcopal Church, $10,000, veteran promoter AlmaCampbell, $5,130, Church of the Good Shepherd, $2,500 and promoter Maxine Greaves, $1,500. Other large donors were fromFrederick Toots Hibbert, $5,000, MassMutual Financial, $5,000, and VP Records, $1,000.

HoSang also thanked his many loyal customers for their commitmentover the years. He reiterated that without a strong customer base, he could not be the philanthropic business leader he istoday. The handing over presentation was part of a gala celebration hosted by JAAP, co-partner of the Jamaica LINACMachine Project Initiative, which also donated US$20,869 to the cause. Guest speaker, LASCOs Lascelles Chin, also pledgedUS$50,000 over the next year to the cancer-fighting mission.

MANHATTAN:

State Attorney General EricSchneiderman wants the authority forhis office to investigate deaths at the handsof police.

Schneiderman was joined Monday inLower Manhattan by Public AdvocateLetitia James, City Comptroller ScottStringer and several other elected officialsfor the announcement in Lower Manhattan.

It comes after Schneiderman sent a let-ter to Governor Andrew Cuomo saying thatunder New York law, the authority exists,has been used before and is needed now.

If he is given the permission to investi-gate, it would only apply to cases after theexecutive order is signed, which means itwould not apply to the Eric Garner case.

Both James and Schneiderman say thegrand jury's decision not to indict officerDaniel Pantaleo in the Garner case provesDAs should not be given sole authority toinvestigate cases where police officers usedeadly force on unarmed civilians.

"Existing state law authorizes the gov-ernor to supersede any district attorney onany criminal matter by appointing theAttorney General to investigate and prose-cute the case," Schneiderman said.

State AG Seeks Authority to Investigate Police-Involved Deaths

Guard arrestedin death of inmateAuthorities have arrested a New YorkCity jail guard in connection with thedeath of a homeless ex-Marine in a swelter-ing 101-degree Rickers Island cell.

Carol Lackner, 34, was arraignedMonday Dec. 8 on falsifying businessrecords and official misconduct charges.She faces up to four years if convicted.

The homeless man, Jerome Murdough,56, who was arrested on trespassing chargeslast February after seeking shelter fromfrigid temperatures in the stairwell of publichousing project in Harlem.

In May, The Associated Press reportedLackner had a history of abandoning herRikers Island jail post. The AP also reportedthat although logbooks indicated she touredMurdough's unit, video surveillance did notshow her doing so.

Lackner was suspended for 30 daysafter an investigation found she abandonedher post before Murdough was discovered.

Her lawyer says she performed visualtours, not walking tours, and her superiorsalso didn't visit Murdough's unit.

The AP first reported the February 15death of Murdough in a Rikers unit formentally ill inmates. Murdough's death --along with the horrifying death of anothermentally ill inmate in a similar mentalobservation unit five months earlier --prompted Mayor Bill de Blasio to convenea task force on how the mentally ill fare injail. Last week, de Blasio announced thattask force's findings, saying he'll spend$130 million over the next four years toimprove how the mentally ill interact withthe justice system, before, during and afterjail stints.

Amid calls for the resumption of thedeath penalty, former attorney generalAlfred Sears said on Monday that it wouldbe a mistake for The Bahamas to harkback to the colonial practice of killing peo-ple.

The death penalty... in my view itconfirms the culture of killing, Sears said.But Bishop Simeon Hall, former chairmanof a government-appointed CrimeCommission, said Some people dontbelong in civilized society and should besubject to capital punishment.

Sears and Hall commented on theissue after chairman of the ConstitutionalCommission Sean McWeeney said therehas been a very strong push for the nextconstitutional referendum to deal with thedeath penalty.

While the government has not yetrevealed what issues it intends to addressfollowing the referendum on gender equal-ity, McWeeney said he would not be sur-prised if the death penalty referendum isaccelerated based on the interest surround-

ing it. However, Hall said there is no needfor a referendum on that issue. I think areferendum on the death penalty would bea waste of time and foolish, he said.

Estate Preparationand Gifts Derived-A Jamaican Perspective

By Lauren Boyd, Attorney-at-Law

Many believe that they would be hasten-ing their demise from this life if theywere to make preparation for their lovedones during their lifetime. However, shouldyou wisely decide to do so, you could startby assessing your finances-real estate, bankaccounts and investments.

Several Jamaicans or persons ofJamaican parentage may be beneficiaries ofproperty in Jamaica, W.I., left to them byway of a Will or by way of intestacy (wherethere is no Will).

In order to claim the gifts left by Will,contact the named Executor under the Willand ensure that they file a Probate applica-tion, with the assistance of a qualifiedAttorney-at-Law.

Where the deceased died without leav-ing a Will then he is said to have died intes-tate. In this instance the appropriate benefi-ciary(ies), based on legislation, would retainan Attorney-at-Law to file an application fora Grant of Administration.

If you would rather forego the processof probate or administration because youhave no intention of returning to Jamaica tolive or you believe that either process wouldbe a costly venture to undertake, then it ispossible that you could save a lot more inthe end if you were to alter your opinion.

It may be best to make haste mainlybecause of the interest factor, chargeable bythe Jamaican Taxpayer Audit andAssessment Department, from and after theexpiration of twelve (12) months from thedate of death of your deceased relative.There are however several ways to reducethe expenses involved. What is your take onthe issue?_________________________________________

Nigerian rebels spenta year in Trinidad

Nigerian rebels who were involved in mil-itary attacks against the Nigerian gov-ernment spent a year in Trinidad and Tobagoas tourism students. This occurred eventhough the head of the Special Branch hadraised a red flag and advised that they be sentback to their country as they posed a serioussecurity threat to Trinidad and Tobago.

The issue of illegal immigrants hasgripped national attention over the past fewweeks, but since last year security intelli-gence agencies have been probing the issueand wrote to then national security ministerJack Warner raising alarm about the 66Nigerians, advising that they could causehavoc in this country. The Express obtained acopy of the secret letter, dated March 27,2013, to Warner from the head of the SpecialBranch in which he stated that the Nigerianswere former combatants who were involvedin numerous military attacks against Nigeriangovernment oil installations located in theNiger Delta region, which led to the totalshutdown of that countrys oil production.

Resuming hangingswould be a mistake,

Americas immigration system is broken. Too manyemployers game the system by hiring undocumentedworkers and there are 11 million people living in the shad-ows. Neither is good for the economy or the country.

Together we can build a fair, effective and commonsense immigration system that lives up to our heritage as anation of laws and a nation of immigrants.

The Presidents plan builds a smart, effective immigra-tion system that continues efforts to secure our borders andcracks down on employers who hire undocumented immi-grants. Its a plan that requires anyone whos undocument-ed to get right with the law by paying their taxes and apenalty, learning English, and undergoing backgroundchecks before they can be eligible to earn citizenship. Itrequires every business and every worker to play by thesame set of rules.

There are four principles to the Presidents commonsense proposal:

CONTINUING TO STRENGTHENBORDER SECURITY

The Presidents proposal gives law enforcement thetools they need to make our communities safer from crime,enhances our infrastructure and technology, and strength-ens our ability to remove criminals and apprehend andprosecute threats to our national security.

STREAMLINING LEGAL IMMIGRATIONLegal immigration should be simple and efficient. The

Presidents proposal provides visas to foreign entrepre-neurs looking to start businesses here, helps the most prom-ising foreign graduate students in science and math stay inthis country after graduation, and reunites families in atimely and humane manner.

EARNED CITIZENSHIPThe Presidents proposal provides undocumented immi-grants with a legal way to earn citizenship so they cancome out of the shadows. It holds them accountable byrequiring they pass background checks, pay taxes and apenalty, go to the back of the line, and learn English. Itrequires everyone to play by the same rules.

CRACKING DOWN ONEMPLOYERS HIRINGUNDOCUMENTED

WORKERSThe Presidents proposal isdesigned to stop businessesfrom exploiting the systemby knowingly hiring undoc-umented workers. It holdsthese companies account-able, and gives employerswho want to play by therules a reliable way to verifythat their employees arehere legally.

The 25-year-old Atkinson touched justahead of defending champion and favoriteRuta Meilutyte to claim the gold and equalthe record of 1:02.36. Meilutyte was clockedin 1:02.46.

The look of total surprise on Atkinsonsface told the story. Not only did she snatchthe upset win, but she also became the firstblack woman to claim a world title in thepool. The winning time was also a new meetrecord.

It is Jamaicas first short course worldtitle -- a big improvement on Atkinson'sachievement as the only Jamaican swimmerto ever finish with silver medals in the 50breaststroke in 2012 and 2014, and the 100breaststroke in 2012.

Atkinsons time tied Ruta Meilutytesworld record of 1:02.36 from the Moscowstop of the FINA World Cup.

It also broke Meilutytes meet record of1:02.43 a day earlier during qualifyingrounds.

Meilutytes time of 1:02.46 came up justshort of making Meilutyte the first woman toever defend this events title.

Atkinson, who currently resides inFlorida, also became the first black woman tohold a world short-course record since EnithBrigitha of the Netherlands 40 years ago.

Brigitha set the 100m freestyle standardthree times in her career.

Robert Rocco, 48, of Dix Hills, pleadedguilty in federal court in Central Islip to a singlecount of wire fraud and briefly outlined his rolein the scheme to U.S. District Judge LeonardWexler. As part of the plea agreement, Rocco

faces a sentence of 46 to 57 months in prison,officials said.

The plea also calls for Rocco to repay thevictims about $3.5 million. But Rocco does nothave the money to repay the victims, accordingto sources.

Though Rocco did take in the $5 millionthrough the scheme some of the victims werepaid back with other peoples or some of theirown money, as is typical in a Ponzi swindle,before the operation collapsed.

Roccos attorney, Richard Haley, ofIslandia, declined to comment after the plea, asdid Eastern District federal prosecutor AllenBode.

Reached by telephone, Martin Targget, thecurrent president of the league, declined tocomment on the plea. Taggert said that Roccosaction did not effect the operation of the league,which has 600 to 700 youth playing on variousteams.

The United States of America has manydifferent traditions and ways that peoplein celebrate Christmas, because of its multi-cultural nature. Many customs are similar toones in the Uk, France, Italy, Holland,Poland and Mexico.

Christmas or Christmas Day (OldEnglish: Crstesmsse, meaning "Christ'sMass") is an annual festival commemorat-ing the birth of Jesus Christ, observed gen-erally on December 25 as a religious andcultural celebration among billions of peo-ple around the world.

A feast central to the Christian liturgi-cal year, it closes the Advent season and ini-tiates the twelve days of Christmastide,which ends after the twelfth night.

Christmas is a public holiday in manyof the world's nations, is celebrated cultural-ly by a large number of former or non-Christian people, and is an integral part ofthe Christmas and holiday season.

The traditional meal for WesternEuropean families is turkey or ham withcranberry sauce. Families from EasternEuropean origins favour turkey with trim-mings, keilbasi (a Polish sausage), cabbagedishes, and soups; and some Italian familiesprefer lasagne!

Some Americans use pop-corn thread-ed on string to help decorate their ChristmasTree!

New York, NY --

The carbon pollution fromapproximately nine coalplants could be eliminated inNew York if wind power sup-plied 30 percent of the nationselectricity needs, according to anew analysis by EnvironmentNew York. The analysis comesjust as Congress considerswhether to renew tax creditscritical to wind development.

Wind power can replacethe dirty energy sources of thepast and the pollution thatcomes with them, said HeatherLeibowitz, director ofEnvironment New York. Butwe need to act now to ensure aclean energy future.

Continued, rapid develop-ment of wind energy wouldallow the renewable resource tosupply 30 percent of thenations electricity by 2030,providing more than enoughcarbon reductions to meet theU.S. Environmental ProtectionAgencys proposed CleanPower Plan.

This report helps validateour effort to fight for the CleanPower Plan and support thedevelopment of wind power inNew York State, saidAssemblywoman MichelleSchimel.

Wind power projects inareas such as Upstate andWestern New York already pro-

duced enough energy in 2013 topower 326,380 homes. Theanalysis predicts that offshorewind will expand significantlyin New York over the next 15years, producing enough powerfor 5,350,226 million homes.

The report, More Wind,Less Warming, comes just twoweeks before the Long IslandPower Authority (LIPA) makesa decision on a proposal sub-mitted by the companyDeepwater Wind for an off-shore wind farm 30 miles fromMontauk Point.

This is a tremendousopportunity to generate cleanand renewable energy.

Wind Energy Could Reduce Pollution

LIFE STYLE

Dear Divine Diva:

My ex-husband likes to call to ask mefor advice. Our most recent con-verse-tion was in regard to his girlfriendand her sexual past, which he knew aboutbefore they started dating.

He now disapproves of her historyand he began calling her unpleasantnames. He tells me he deserves better butintends to stay with her until he gets bored.Hearing this sort of talk gives me a stromache and heart burn. I feel terrible for thewoman.

I want to be a friend to my ex, but I'mnot sure I can handle the stress it causes.He has had a hard life, and I didn't make it

any easier by divorcing him. Is the onlysolution not to take his calls, like myfriends tell me? I'm not sure I can do thatwithout major guilt.

-Sandra, The Bronx

Dear Sandra:I'll offer another option: The next timeyour ex starts asking you for relationshipadvice, tell him you don't like hearing theway he talks about his girlfriend.

Explain that it makes you so uncom-fortable that you prefer to avoid the topicof his love life. If he respects your wishes,continue taking his calls.

If not, because you find them upset-ting, refuse them. And please, stop feelingguilty about the divorce. From yourdescription of your former husband, he is auser, and you're lucky to be rid of him.

Although you couldruninto opposition to yourideas,it's smarter to slowdown your for-ward move-ment rather than stop-pingprogress altogether.VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept.22):Listen to your intuitiontodayinstead of taking yourcues fromfriends or trustedprofessionals.They might notsee things the wayyou do andtheir well-meaningadvicecould lead you astray.Bewilling to sacrifice yourfeelingsof connection to oth-ers.
