According to the Census Bureau

report, poverty rates were the highest forsingle mothers, increasing from 40.4 per-

cent (2011) to 43 percent (2012). Of the

citys ethnic groups, Latinos had the high-

est poverty rate at 29.8 percent. For those

without a high school diploma, the pover-

ty rate was 32.6 percent compared to 7.3

percent for those with a four-year college

degree.

Of course, for the average person,

these are abstract numbers that dontbegin to tell the full story of poverty in

our city. Thats one reason why the

Community Service Society conducts an

annual survey of the citys low-income

population to put these statistics in some

perspective.Continued on page 4

Understanding You

Of single-mother and poverty

What I am looking for is not out there; it is

in me. (Hellen Keller)

Good leaders understand themselves. Asa leader, you need to know your capa-bilities. What can you do? What are yourstrengths? What are your weaknesses? Willyour weaknesses hinder your ability to be agood leader? Or will your strengths help youto excel beyond your potential?

I once meet lady by the name of Betty,an entrepreneur who wanted advice on keep-ing her small bakery business afloat. Shecontacted me after meeting me at a network-ing event in Queens, New York. Betty invit-ed me to her shop, which she shared with adeli. When I met Betty at her bakery, shewas one of the nicest people you can meet;she smiled a lot and wanted you to feel com-fortable.

After greeting me, she offered me cakeand tea and told me her story. Betty is a reg-istered nurse who decided to be an entrepre-neur. After being in business for over a yearwithout profiting, she wanted to know whatshe was doing wrong. I quickly recognizedBettys setback.

Betty was a good baker and had excel-lent customer service, but she was not goodat marketing and lacked a key skill to anysuccessful businessthe ability to sell.

The process and integrative approachesto the definition of leadership suggest thatindividuals can learn the skills and abilitiesnecessary for a leader. The first step indeveloping skills and abilities is to under-stand you. The importance of self-knowl-edge for leadership may seem obvious.

Nonetheless, many leaders do not havesufficient knowledge about their behaviorsand the way they interact with others.Personal preferences for certain types ofbehaviors can also result in leaders using thesame leadership style and methods regard-less of the situation. Increasing self-knowl-edge and self-understanding can improve

your ability to interact with others, which isfundamental to effective leadership.

Self-understanding is related to emo-tional intelligence, which suggest that peo-ple have different abilities to manage them-selves and their relationships with others.

To manage yourself, you must have arelatively high degree of self-awareness,which includes knowledge about yourself,

such as your personal preferences and reac-tions to different situations. You also have tobe aware of how you interact with others,particularly in stressful situations where youmay be emotionally upset. Self-understand-ing can be improved by reflection and objec-tive analysis of your strengths and weak-nesses.

Dr NevaSpeaks

[email protected] _________________________________________Dr. Neva H. Alexander is an experiencededucator with international experience.

We are very concern about the increas-ing level of poverty in New York Citywhich remains high at 21.2 percent or 1.7million New Yorkers living below the offi-

cial federal poverty line of $23,314 for afamily of four.

We are also distressed to learn thatpoverty rates were the highest for singlemothers, increasing from 40.4 percent(2011) to 43 percent (2012), according to theCensus Bureau.

Other studies revealed that one in fourchildren in the United States is being raisedby a single parent a percentage that has

been on the rise and is higher than otherdeveloped countries. In the case of AfricanAmerican community, 72 percent of Blackchildren are raised in a single-parent house-

hold headed by a female.Economically and emotionally, the

challenges are more difficult for females as

they struggle to satisfy the needs of todays

children. Children who grow up in a single-

mother household have more problems thanchildren who grow up in two-parent house-holds.

The problem is not so much the lack ofa father as it is the lack of a second parent.

Children in single-parent homes arethree times more likely to drop out of

school.In general, a single mother cannot

spend a lot of time helping children with

homework, is less likely to discipline con-sistently and has less control, factors thatcould lead to lower academic success.

Furthermore, without income from a

spouse, single mothers are likely to haveincome problems, making life harder fortheir children. When unemployment figures

run high, the burden on single mothers isgreat.

The unemployment rate for single

mothers was almost double that of marriedwomen in most states.

We are now experiencing a cultural

shift toward greater acceptance of single-parent child rearing, a situation which is not

benefiting the African American communi-ties. As Christians, we should therefore pro-

mote the "conjugal" family which includes ahusband, a wife and the children.

At the City, State and Federal levels, we

need to put in place more policies to helpsupport families, including childcare andnational paid maternity leave, which arecommonplace in other countries.

Several studies have shown that educa-tion is the most reliable institution to takepeople out of poverty. Perhaps a good edu-

cation should be the starting point for all sin-gle mothers if they want to achieve prosper-ity and satisfy the needs of their children.

Brooklyn

Couple Defraud

ImmigrantsBROOKLYN:Kings County District AttorneyCharles J. Hynes on September27 announced the guilty pleas of

Patrick Panettieri, 63, and his wife,

Joanne Panettieri, 59, who admitted

defrauding Asian immigrant families

out of thousands of dollars each in

tuition fees paid for their children to

attend schools for English as a

Second Language.

The defendants plead guilty to

the felony charge of Scheme to

Defraud in the First Degree, the top

count of the indictment and PetitLarceny. The defendants must make

full restitution of the stolen money,

which includes tuition and back-pay

owed to teachers, totaling over

$50,000, or face 1 1/3-4 years in

prison. The next scheduled court date

is November 26 in AP 1 at Brooklyn

Supreme Court at 320 Jay Street. If

restitution is made, the felony charges

will be vacated.

Between January 2012 and

August 2013, the defendants ran the

Chinatown Outreach Ministry

Schools out of three locations in

Sunset Park. About 100 Chinese pre-kindergarten and elementary school-

aged children attended the schools for

English as a Second Language class-

es. Many of the parents had paid

tuition in advance for the Fall 2013

and Spring 2014 semesters.

On August 13, the parents and

children arrived to find the doors

locked and the schools shut down.

The couple was arrested August 30,

in Syracuse, NY.

Continued on page 4

In our most recent survey for 2013 we found

that more New Yorkers are reporting a rise in

hardships, particularly in the areas of housing

and food. For example, among poor NewYorkers, the number of people skipping

meals because there was not enough money

to buy food increased from 21 to 27 percent;

there was also an increase in the number of

poor New Yorkers falling behind on their rentor mortgage payments up from 24 percent

to 31 percent.

And 38 percent of low-income, working

women report cuts in wages, tips or hours, up

from 28 percent a year ago.Taken together, the latest poverty rates

and our Unheard Third findings suggest that

the income gap between the citys well-off

and working poor remains alarmingly wide.

Perhaps the best illustration of the jar-

ring income polarization defining our city

was reported in Forbes magazine. According

to Forbes, Mayor Michael Bloombergs net

worth increased by $6 billion last year.

Thats a billion dollars more than the collec-

tive incomes of the citys 1.7 million people

living below the federal poverty line.

The point here is not to disparage the

mayor, or for that matter the rest of the citys

top ten percent for economic gains realized

since the recession. But we cant ignore thefact that poverty remains high, and has not

gone down to its pre-recession levels (18.5

percent). If the situation is to improve, thecitys government, business leaders and the

voting public must take a proactive approach.

Raising wages and providing benefits

such as paid sick days to low-wage workers;

providing job training so workers can

advance into mid-skill jobs; bolstering pro-grams that help young people get their first

job experience; and investing in better

schools in the citys most impoverished

neighborhoods are just a few ways the city

can reverse the trends that are leaving more

than a million New Yorkers barely scraping

by, while a relative few continue to only get

richer.

Single MothersFacing Poverty

Family DemandingAnswers from DAHynes, Ray Kelly

Brooklyn:

Two months after Kyam Livingstondied in custody at Brooklyn CentralBookings, her family renewed their call

for justice to demand answers from

Brooklyn District Attorney Charles

Hynes and Police Commissioner Ray

Kelly.

A crowd of community leaders,

elected officials and Livingston familymembers chanted No Justice! No

Peace! while holding photos of the 37-

year-old mother, who died in police cus-

tody. Her family and supporters

demanded that the names of the NYPD

officer responsible be publicly released

so that they are held accountable.

When the police shoot and kill

someone, we always hear about what

happened to the officers. Usually they

are suspended or put on desk duty, said

Anita Neal, Kyam Livingstons mother.

NEW YORK --

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman

recently announced recently that 19companies had agreed to cease their prac-tice of writing fake online reviews for busi-nesses and to pay more than $350,000 inpenalties. "Operation Clean Turf," a year-long undercover investigation into the repu-tation management industry, the manipula-tion of consumer-review websites, and thepractice of astroturfing, found that compa-nies had flooded the Internet with fake con-sumer reviews on websites such as Yelp,Google Local, and CitySearch.

In the course of the investigation, theAttorney General's office found that many

of these companies used techniques to hidetheir identities, such as creating fake onlineprofiles on consumer review websites and

paying freelance writers from as far away asthe Philippines, Bangladesh and EasternEurope for $1 to $10 per review. By pro-ducing fake reviews, these companies vio-lated multiple state laws against false adver-tising and engaged in illegal and deceptivebusiness practices.

Undercover Investigation of "Search

Engine Optimization" Companies

In recent years, the reputation manage-ment industry has exploded as businesseshave become increasingly concerned abouttheir online reputations. So-called searchengine optimization ("SEO") companiesroutinely offer online reputation manage-

ment as part of their services.Posing as the owner of a yogurt shop in

Brooklyn, representatives from AttorneyGeneral Schneiderman's office called theleading SEO companies in New York torequest assistance in combating negativereviews on consumer-review websites.During these calls, representatives fromsome of these companies offered to writefake reviews of the yogurt shop and postthem on consumer-review websites such asYelp.com, Google Local andCitysearch.com, as part of their reputationmanagement services.

The investigation revealed that SEOcompanies were using advanced IP spoof-ing techniques to hide their identities, aswell as setting up hundreds of bogus onlineprofiles on consumer review websites topost the reviews. The investigation foundthat many consumer-review websites haveimplemented filters to detect and filter ordelete fake reviews, with Yelp's being themost aggressive.

"More than 100 million visitors come

to Yelp each month, making it critical thatYelp protect the integrity of its content,"

said Aaron Schur, Yelp's Senior LitigationCounsel. "We take many steps to do this,

including the use of automated filteringsoftware, leveraging our vast user commu-nity for tips about suspicious content,undercover sting operations, legal action,and cooperation with law enforcement. Weapplaud NY Attorney GeneralSchneiderman for his willingness to tacklethe issue of illegal fake reviews head on,and for his success in shutting down theseoperators. We look forward to continuing tocooperate with the New York AttorneyGeneral's office and any other interestedlaw enforcement office or regulator to pro-tect consumers and business owners fromefforts to mislead."

Besides using their own employees towrite and post the reviews, the companies

hired freelance writers from as far away asthe Philippines, Bangladesh and EasternEurope for $1 to $10 per review. One SEOcompany required that freelancers have anestablished Yelp account, more than 3months old, with more than 15 reviews (atleast half unfiltered), and 10 Yelp "friends,"as an attempt to avoid Yelp's advancedreview filter.

Attorney General Schneiderman'soffice also discovered solicitations on sitessuch as Craigslist.com, Freelancer.com andoDesk.com to hire people to write fakereviews.

Mount Vernon:

Three Mount Vernon menon Tuesday (September24) were charged with

Narcotics and Tax Law vio-

lations after Mount Vernon

Police Department Narcotics

officers raided a grocery

store and private residence.

A three month investi-

gation of the Habib Deli, 19

W. Prospect Avenue led

investigators to obtain a

search warrant for the store,

an adjacent vacant store and

the owners residence.

On Thursday morningmembers of the Narcotics

Unit executed the search

warrants, recovering over

two-hundred-fifty packs of

cigarettes that did not con-

tain the proper tax stamp, a

quantity of Khat, a middle

eastern drug, and over forty-

thousand dollars in U.S. cur-

rency.

The store is owned by

Murad Hamood Musleh Al-

Abli and his brother Dheya

Hamood Musleh Al-Abli of

102 W. 1st Street.

Both were charged with

2nd Degree Criminal

Possession of a Controlled

Kingston, Jamaica:

Acall is being made by Jamaican

opposition Senator, RobertMontague for the Jamaican government

to extend its reach as it relates to the

enforcement of maintenance orders to

delinquent parents who live outside of

Jamaica.

In the Jamaican Senate on Friday

(September 27), Montague was

responding to questions he asked about

the general enforcement of maintenance

orders.

Senator Montague further stated that

just as how the government uses its

resources to assist with the fighting of

the lotto scam, the government must do

the same, for poor mothers left to strug-

gle with their children, while in manycases the fathers are overseas working

and sending remittance to others.

The government must understand

that a mother does not go to court

because she has nothing else to do, she

goes because she has no other option, to

keep her child alive. The government

therefore use every recourse to assist the

mothers, he said.

During his discourse with Mark

Golding, Jamaican Justice Minister, it

was revealed that Jamaica had arrange-

ments with only three States in the

United States - Maryland, New Jersey

and Florida. As it relates to Canada,

Jamaica has such reciprocal arrange-

ments with only 5 provinces.

It was noted that in many other areas

where there are large Jamaican popula-

tions there is no agreement for mainte-

nance orders to be served. In response,

Golding said steps are being made to

remedy this.

JERMAINE HUE DR CARLTON FRASER

ST JOHNS, Antigua -- Two former West

Indies players have been added to the coach-

ing staff of West Indies teams.

Ezra Moseley, the fast bowling all-round-

er from Barbados, will join the West Indies

Womens team as an Assistant Coach while

Robert Samuels, the opening batsman and for-

mer Jamaica captain, will join the West Indies

Under-19 team as Assistant Coach.

The West Indies Women are in Jamaica

preparing for the three-match series against

New Zealand at Sabina Park and the Windies

Under-19s are in Guyana in camp, as they get

ready to face Bangladesh in a seven-match

rubber.

Samuels, 42, has worked coaching at the

Under-19 level for over a decade. Earlier this

year he was at the helm as Jamaica won both

the WICB Under-19 four-day and one-day

tournaments. Since retiring Moseley, 55, was

a Barbados selector and worked for several

years with the Barbados Womens team.

Roddy Estwick, long-standing coach of

the Under-19s, welcomed Samuels to the

team. It is great to have Robert on board. He

was a successful Jamaica batsman and captain

and has worked with the Jamaica Under-19s

for a few years now, Estwick said.

Sherwin Campbell, has been in charge of

the Womens programme since 2008.

Brooklyn:

Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music(CPR) has announced that Street

Hype Newspaper will sponsor the CPR

Showcase scheduled for the 9th annual

staging of the family friendly and ever

popular Reggae Culture Salute (RCS) on

Saturday, November 2nd at Nazareth

Patrick Maitland, publisher of Street

says, "What CPR is doing is absolutely

necessary; they are providing a platform

for these artist to expose their talents to the

world and I am proud to be associated

with the organization as a sponsor of the

CPR artist showcase for Reggae Culture

Salute 2013."

During the CPR artist showcase,

members of the CPR artist caucus show-

case their talents and bring awareness to

their craft. This year's showcase, backed

by "Widayyah", includes Brooklyn based

songbird, Michibella, a talented singer and

songwriter who writes about every day

happenings. In "Money Crisis", she speaks

to the challenges of every day people,

when she sings, 'every one is in a money

crisis'. Currently working on her debut

album, Michibella says, she is "ready to

take the stage at Reggae Culture Salute

2013." DJ Yanks, an avid deejay who

operates mostly as a Dancehall artist

promises to bring a conscious set to thestage at RCS 2013. Ras Osagyefo is a poet

whose fire brand style of delivering

insightful prose has made him very popu-

lar on the poetry slam circuit. For Reggae

Culture Salute, he will perform a special

tribute in honor of the 83rd anniversary of

the Coronation of His Imperial Majesty

Emperor Haile Selassie I and Empress

Mennen. Connecticut based, singer, song-

writer, Don Minott is no stranger to the

New York tri-state reggae circuit. Known

for his potently conscious lyrics and

endearing stage presence, Don is also per-

forms regularly on music festivals in

Europe. His music is best described as

social commentary and his album, "Speak

for the Poor" with heartfelt tracks like

"Hypocrites" and the title track, "Speakfor the Poor" is a must have.

CPR is a global movement of reggae

lovers and excitement is building for

German Rastafarian, Uwe Banton whowill make his way to New York for the

first time to perform at Reggae Culture

Salute 2013. Already a household name on

the European reggae circuit, having per-

formed at most if not all of the reggae fes-

tivals there, Uwe is constantly spreading

the message of Rastafari and one love with

his deeply spiritual songs examining the

socio-political phenomena of our times.

Songs like "Work", in collaboration with

Mikey General remains ever popular and

"Thought I'd Let You Know" is a powerful

ode to the ladies. It's been a long time

coming and Uwe is excited to be heading

to New York.

ETANA, "The Strong One" returns to

headline Reggae Culture Salute 2013

while reggae prodigy, singer, songwriter,

producer and founder of the Big Ship

label, Freddie McGregor will make a spe-

cial appearance as he receives CPR's high-

est honor, the Pinnacle Award for his more

than fifty years as a pioneer on the

Jamaican music scene.

Reggae Culture Salute has become

the preeminent roots reggae event in the

New York tri-state area. The family event

attracts a diverse intergenerational audi-

ence of reggae lovers who come each year

to celebrate roots reggae music in an

authentic community vibe. Sponsors for

PUSH-STARTFoundation to

Save Lives!By Aubrey Campbell

The PUSH-START Foun-dation (PSF) presentedits inaugural gala dinner onSaturday, September 7, at

Bruno's on the Boulevard, in

Queens, New York.

The awards dinner

billed as a fundraiser tosave lives, was staged under

the distinguished patronage

of Jamaica's Consul General

to New York, Herman G.

LaMont.

For the past three years,the organization, headed by

its founder, Beverly Nichols

and a support network in the

USA, have been givingthought to a glaring deficien-

cy in the healthcare needs of

persons in the parish of

Clarendon, Jamaica.

People are dying andtherefore it touches the core

of my conscience to act. A

group of us toured the

Kingston Public HospitalDialysis Center in February

of this year and we were told

that 90 persons were on the

waiting list for service and

that most of the personswere from the parish of

Clarendon, noted PSF

founder Nichols in an impas-

sioned appeal to the gather-

ing of friends and support-ers.

Anyone who knows

me know how much I love

Jamaica and how passionate

I am about making a differ-ence in the lives of the

underserved. It is because of

this love and passion that I

continue to do what I can for

my fellow Jamaicans.PSF is partnering with

donors to establish a state-

of-the-art Dialysis Centre at

the May Pen Hospital to

serve the people of centralJamaica.

The Foundation will

make contributions towards

its construction and under-

write the cost for patientswho are unable to afford the

use of the facility.

Jamaican Member of

Parliament, Mike Henry,praised the effort of the

foundation and pledged to

do what he can to support

the mission. He said that he

was fully aware that gettinga first world healthcare facil-

ity set up in Jamaica wouldnot be easy but that, with

unity of purpose and

resourcefulness of the foun-dation, May Pen stands

ready to rise to the challenge

of the day.

He urged the audience

not to give up on Jamaica,but to keep hope alive and to

always keep Jamaica in the

forefront, as it was still

among the greatest nations

in the world.Other speakers included

Consul General of Jamaica

to New York, Herman G.

LaMont, who offered his

blessings for the project andRichard Phidd, who narrated

a slide presentation on the

current status of the project

and the different types of

dialysis treatments beingcontemplated.

sented with the outstanding

service award by CaronChung, Executive Director,

American Friends of

Jamaica.

HarmonizingCultural Diversity

Our first question should be what isculture? Culture is the characteristicof a group where the rules and beliefs are

shared by the group; it is not invented by

an individual, but is passed down from

one generation to the next.

Cultural rules do not influence ones

behavior, but they influence people to

behave similarly in ways that help them

understand each other. Culture is learned

therefore it can be learned well by some

people in the group and not so well by

others within the same group.

What each child learns depends on

the cultural rules of the people who pro-

vide care for him or her. For example by

understanding your cultural rules you

know how to greet a person. Cultural

rules shape food preferences, lifestyles

and celebrations, etc.

The concept of cultural sensitivity

and cultural empowerment is new to early

care and early education. However, we

need to embrace the concept. A major

task of every society is to prepare their

children to take their place in the world as

adults.

When a child is born it is the respon-

sibility of the family to prepare that childfor her place in the world. Our world is

not that simple as before. Our life style is

different, and the early years are not

influenced solely by families anymore.

Children are entering care at a younger

age, care givers, especially those of

infants and toddlers share the responsibil-

ity with parents of transmitting culture.

Caregivers must provide care that is

culturally harmonized with the families

that they serve. You do not have to know

all the details of the childrens culture

that you serve. However, you should

begin by learning more about your own

culture.

Keep in mind that each family is a

culture in itself and each family member

is a unique individual. Avoid stereotyp-

ing cultures from the same region; an

example: I am from Jamaica and when I

meet people they usually ask do you

smoke weed also? People usually base

their opinions from stereo types.

It is very important for you to get

your information from more than one

source this way your perspective of a

given culture will be broad. Our society

is changing rapidly therefore most of the

infants/toddlers that we care for will be

culturally different from their care givers.

It is important that we begin to under-

stand people who are different from us.

Strategy #1: Clean Your ComputersWindows Registry

The biggest cause of slow, sluggish PC per-

formance is errors and problems within its

Windows registry. Adware, spyware and

other threats usually target the registry, dam-

aging or misplacing important files within it.

When it comes to PC cleaning, a dailyWindows registry cleaning should be at the

top of your list of priorities. However, this

should never be done manually there are

too many opportunities for major errors that

could seriously damage your PCs operating

system. Instead, invest in a high-quality

Windows registry cleanup program and con-

figure it to run once per day you wont

believe the difference that it makes.

Strategy #2: Remove Unneeded FilesEvery time you log on to the Internet or oth-

erwise use your computer, temporary files

are generated. They are usually only needed

once; however, they dont disappear on their

own. Instead, they accumulate over time

until they are cluttering up your computers

file system and affecting its performance.

While its possible to remove these files one-

by-one, its much easier and quicker to use a

PC cleaning tool thats designed for the pur-

pose.

Strategy #3: Remove UnneededPrograms

Like many people, you probably download

and try out many different programs each

month. How many of them do you actually

end up using on a regular basis? Chances

are, not very many of them. By getting into

the habit of uninstalling unused and unneed-

ed programs, you can keep your computers

file system a lot less cluttered. In turn, your

PCs performance will improve dramatical-

ly. You can optimize your computer in this

way by using its Add/Remove Programs fea-

ture. Its location varies by operating system,

but you should be able to find it somewherein the Control Panel.

Strategy #4: Empty the Recycle BinWhen you click delete on a file or a pro-

gram, it doesnt go away for good not

immediately, anyway. Instead, it sits in a

kind of purgatory in your computers

Recycle Bin. As things pile up in the

Recycle Bin, your computer can start

exhibiting some very annoying problems. If

sluggish startups and frequent crashes are

occurring with increasing frequency and

your computers recycle bin is very full go

ahead and empty it. From then on, get into

the habit of doing so about one time per

week.

Strategy #5: Perform a Disk

DefragmentationWindows isnt very efficient when it comes

to storing files. It actually splits them up,

depositing them into whatever spaces are

available. The more spaced apart the pieces

of a file are, the harder your computer has to

work to make them run. The Windows disk

defragmentation system tune-up utility

works to piece all of those files back togeth-

er again. The process is a long one, though,

and only needs to be done about four times

per year.

ARIES (Mar. 21 Apr.19): You need to take part in

something new and cool,

and your energy ensures

that you either choose or

stumble upon the perfect

activity. Share it with

friends or keep it to your-

self.TAURUS (Apr. 20 May

20): Shopping is ill-advised

today, at least for you. It'snot that you're going to

make a dumb deal, just that

the material world isn't real-

ly the place you need to

focus your energy on for

now.GEMINI (May 21 Jun.

20): Listen to your people

today, they know better. At

least one of them has the

perfect advice for you, so if

folks start to disagree, try toget them to hash it out

amongst themselves.

CANCER (Jun. 21 Jul.

22): Your suspicions are

aroused by someone who

claims to be more than you

think they really are or

could be, for that matter.

Hold your tongue and wait

for them to slip up. Time

will tell.LEO (Jul. 23 Aug. 22):

Your learning process never

ends, and you should find

that people are more

engaged with new ideas

today. It's a great time to

tackle a new topic or hit on

your next big thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 Sept.

22): Your colleagues at

work or at school are mak-

ing life difficult, but there's

nothing to be done about it.Just plaster a smile on your

face and get through the day

things get better soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 Oct.22): Your energy needs

to be focused on one person

or maybe one team, if

you've got multiple compet-

ing priorities. Try to make a

show of it, but there's no

need to go overboard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 Nov.21): A small skirmish could

kindle a much larger battle

and if so, expect the situa-tion to get pretty ugly. You

may have to moderate, but

that can be tough if you are

also a key player.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22

Dec.21): You're having somuch fun today that it feels

like life i s a game. You may

as well treat it as such as

long as you aren't hurting

anyone in the process. If

they take it seriously, soshould you a little.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22

Jan. 19): You take your

responsibilities very seri-

ously and right now, that's

for the best. You've got to

step up and ensure that

whatever must be done gets

done quickly and efficient-

ly.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20

Feb. 18): You are noticingseveral strange patterns

underlying people's behav-

ior, so make sure that you

keep watching until you

thoroughly understand

them. This info comes in

handy really soon.

PISCES (Feb. 19 Mar.

20): Your head's in the

clouds again, but it feels

comfortable up there. You

may not get a lot done atwork or at home, but you

should feel more relaxed by

the end of the day. Someone

may wonder why.

STRATEGIES FOR

PORTION CONTROLTry measuring out recommended servings of your favorite foods.

Use measuring cups and spoons so that you will become aware of what is

considered a reasonable portion.

Avoid eating directly from a container or bag. Serve yourself

appropriate portions in a bowl or on a plate.

Use smaller bowls, plates and glasses. You will notice that you will fill your dish

with less food and eat less.

Eat slowly and enjoy your food. Try to eat sitting down at a table, not standing up or in

front of the television.

Stop eating when you are satisfied, NOT full. Save the rest for your next meal!

Restaurants often serve portions that are much larger than reasonable for one

person to eat. Ask to wrap up half of the meal, try ordering an appetizer as a meal

or share one entree between two people.

October is Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth. Would you want to do a storyon what your readers can do to help in the

fight against this dreadful disease?

Golden Krust takes time out every year

to heighten awareness about the cause by

donating a portion of the sale on Chicken

patties to the American Cancer Society. We

also participate in the Making Strides

Against Breast Cancer Walk held at

Orchard Beach each year.

On October 1st we will kick off the

activities by offering free mammograms at

our 1381 E. GunHill Road location.

Please help us spread the word to your

network. Registration is required by Friday

Sept. 27th. If you wish to cover the story

that would be more than welcomed. I will

also supply you with pictures of the event.

This could be a great human interest

story for you, with tons of information

available at the American Cancer Societys

website. So many women within the demo-

graphic which we both market to are affect-

ed by the disease, as well as their friends

and loved ones. Lets all do our part to

assist this great cause.

There are a couple of options available interms of starting a party entertainingservice. You can work as an agency, repre-

senting entertainers for parties.

Or, if you have the skills, you can be an

entertainer yourself. The different types of

entertainers for children's parties include

clowns, magicians, trained pet shows,

singers and skit plays. You can also gear

your act to adults and offer your services for

corporate events as a magician or karaokedeejay.

This is a relatively low-investment busi-

ness to start and operate, and the profit

potential is very good. Tthe average rate for

party entertainers is $50 per hour, with a

minimum charge for 1-1/2 hours including

travel.

An agency representing entertainers for

parties or being an entertainer yourself is a

good home based business that allows for

flexible hours, good income potential and

loads of fun.

The MarketYour customers are parents who are giving

their children parties, and businesses who

are planning anniversary, holiday or summer

events for their employees.

While you can advertise in the Yellow

Pages and send fliers to local businesses,

your best marketing tool will be word-of-

mouth. Be sure to bring brochures or busi-

ness cards to every gig you get.

Needed EquipmentYour area of expertise will dictate the tools

of your trade. You will also need reliable

transportation.

By Dave RodneyIn what is being described as a rare reggae

music industry move, a New York-based

reggae artist, Leighton Miller, has moved

into the number one video slot on CVM

TV's Hit List in Jamaica.

Leighton Miller, who is based in Long

Island and whose musical roots started in

his church in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, glid-

ed into the number one slot over the week-

end with his haunting and melodic love

song 'Silly of Me'. The video for the song

was shot last year but it was only at the

start of the summer that the song started to

attract the attention of radio and video pro-

grammers. The song's momentum kept

building and over the weekend, it movedinto the number one slot.

"I am a very happy man right now and

I want to say thanks to God and to all those

who have supported me over a very long

period of hard work to make this break-

through possible", Miller told Street Hype.

"It is never an easy road for artists

who are based overseas to make this kind

of impact in Jamaica and only very few

have done it", a music industry source con-

firmed.

Miller has just returned from Jamaica

where he was shooting his next video

release, 'Queen of the Road', scheduled to

be released in early October.
