ANew York City Police Officer MadalinNiculae, 28, of a Queens address has beencharged with insurance fraud, perjury and othercrimes in connection with the disappearance ofhis 2010 Acura vehicle which he reported stolenand was found burning in New Jersey in August2014.

Niculae is awaiting arraignment in QueensCriminal Court on a criminal complaint charg-ing him with first- and second-degree perjury,third- degree insurance fraud, making an appar-ently sworn false statement, making a punish-able false written statement and third-degreefalsely reporting an incident.

According to Queens District AttorneyRichard A. Brown, the Jersey City Police andFire Departments responded to a vehicle fire atapproximately 11:23 p.m. on August 3, 2014, atJersey Avenue and 15th Street and determinedthat the matter was one of suspected arson in-volving a 2010 Acura TL registered to Niculae.

In an interview with a Jersey City fire offi-cial, Niculae allegedly fraudulently stated thathe had parked his vehicle near his residence atapproximately 11:30 p.m. on August 2, 2014,and that he first discovered the vehicle missingat 11:00 a.m. the following day and notified thepolice, but that he did not file a police reportuntil August 4, 2014, because he had parked hisvehicle near a fire hydrant and there was a pos-sibility that the vehicle had been towed.

In statements, depositions and reports filedwith the New York City Police Department andhis insurance carrier, GEICO, it is alleged thatNiculae provided similar fraudulent informationas to the true circumstances surrounding the dis-appearance of his vehicle and that he had beensworn under oath when giving his statement toan insurance investigator.

It is additionally alleged that when the in-surance investigator advised Niculae that shehad concerns about the case, Niculae stated thathe would consider withdrawing his insuranceclaim, which he then did do.

It is estimated that up to threemillion spectators and partici-pants will watch and follow theLabor Day Parade, or betterknown the West Indian Day Car-nival, on its route along EasternParkway in Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn-based WestIndian-American Day CarnivalAssociation (WIADCA) organ-izes the internationally recog-nized event. Its aim is topromote, develop and celebrateCaribbean culture, arts and his-tory, organize the parade.Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Bar-bados, Dominica, Saint Lucia,Jamaica, Saint Vincent,Grenada, Guyana, Suriname andBelize are among the participat-ing countries.

However, after some 48years of excitement and party-ing, the carnival continues to bemore about calypso and socamusic, a genre that originated in

Trinidad & Tobago in the late1970s. The influx of touristsfrom all over the world has ben-efited New York City on an eco-nomic level, most recognizablywith large corporations, smallbusinesses and the tourist/ser-vice industries.

Amidst the colorful cos-tume marches and crazed danc-ing in the streets, thousands ofpeople benefit from the stagingof carnival each year. In short, itis good for the community asseveral thousand small and mi-nority business operators tradetheir goods and services to busyrevelers and spectators.

However, many people whothe Carnival is purported to rep-resent are not pleased with themanagement of the operations,as it is more about promoting theculture of Trinidad and Tobago.Recently, members of theCaribbean Guyana Institute for

Democracy (CGID) have ex-pressed concerns about discrim-ination and anti-Guyanesesentiments expressed byWIADCA.

CGID President, RickfordBurke, a Guyanese, claimedWIADCAs board of directors isalmost exclusively Trinidadian

and has long been perceived asclosed to non-Trinidadians.They openly express anti-Guyanese prejudices and oppo-sition to non-Trinidadiansjoining the organization, saidBurke, adding that they have ex-pressed fears that outsiders willcome in and takeover.

WIADCA is very importantto the community. However, itwill not work if the Trinidadianscontinue to dominate the Carni-val. They should not be the onlypersons on the board. And itshould not be only aboutsoca/calypso and occasionaldancehall/reggae music.

The late Trinidad-born Car-los Lezama and his team did agood job for almost a century tonurture the organization andcarnival celebrations. However,it is time to modify the productto reflect the true culture of theCaribbean people.

Ecstatic, the feeling I experi-enced upon opening anemail from a fellow expatriatein Saudi Arabic. She forwardeda letter to me that read: Con-gratulations on your acceptanceto our Masters program.

When this expatriate cameto me for advice on the Mastersprogram in her area of interestover a year ago I was delightedto help. She applied to a fewuniversities, and was devastatedwhen she received the first re-jection letter.

I assured her that rejec-tions dont mean giving up onyour dreams. Receiving this ac-ceptance letter meant that shehad the opportunity to flourish,gain employment and escapewords that hunted and hurt herfeelings over the years. Those words were: you are stu-pid, you are already forty- youare too old to go back to school,and you are fat and ugly no manwill ever want you.

Those are all words sheheard from her husband she hadbeen married over 20 years to.Those words almost mentallydestroyed her.

I am not a psychologist, but

an educator that specializes inleadership. As an educator anda leadership expert, I know thatyou cannot move forward inany endeavor if you are crip-pled by a situation. Specificallyin this situation, it is words.Using words to hurt your char-acter, and to purposely breakyou down is called psychologi-cal abuse.

According to the NationalCoalition Against Domestic Vi-olence, psychological abuse isthe malicious and explicit non-physical acts against a child, de-pendent adult, or an intimatepartner.

This can include control-ling the victims freedom, andeffectively acting to destabilizeor isolate the victim. Variousstudies have demonstrated thatpsychological abuse can causeslong-term damage to its vic-tims mental health. To holdpower over the abused, theabuser will resort to a numberof tactics designed to hold oneemotionally captive.

Words have power and ifyou sit back and feed into them,you will not succeed. Lookingon the bright side and making

the best, even of a bad situation,allows you to gain strength andwith that strength, you can lead.Parents are considered theleader by their children.

If a parent tells his/herchild that they are worthless,dont be surprise if that childturns out to be worthless. Peo-ple respond to positive and en-

couraging words, they get moremotivated and they performbetter.

I will stop here with aquote by Diane Setterfield, theauthor of The Thirteenth Tale:There is something aboutwords. In expert hands, manip-ulated deftly, they take you pris-oner.

Wind themselves aroundyour limbs like spider silk, andwhen you are so enthralled youcannot move, they pierce yourskin, enter your blood, numbyour thoughts. Inside you theywork their magic. I say to youthe reader, make words buildyou not destroy you.

40th Precinct Sees Big Spikein Robberies

BRONX:

ASouth Bronx precinct has seen a 66percent spike in robberies since lastmonth, the commanding officer said.

The thefts have shot up in the 40thPrecinct over the past month and make upa majority of the overall 60 percent in-crease in crime that the area has seen overthe past few weeks, according to Inspec-tor Carlos Valdez, the new commandingofficer for the precinct.

Valdez cited multiple patterns thatofficers had seen during the spike.

One cluster has taken place by theWillis Avenue Bridge, where thieves havebeen stealing property from people walk-ing across from the Manhattan side, gen-erally late at night between 10 p.m. and 3a.m., he said.

Officers have a few suspects in theserobberies but are still working on firmingup their cases, according to Valdez.

"We think its kids from the MitchelHouses, but we cant identify anyoneyet," he said. "The good thing that I cantell you about that is its been kind of dor-mant recently."

Police have also been dealing with astring of robberies by 143rd Street, wheresuspects have been calling in food ordersand then robbing the people who deliverit to them.

"Even though weve made arrests,we continue to have an issue with it,"Valdez said. "So its more than one or twoindividuals."

There has been a series of gunpointand store robberies by Westchester Av-enue as well, where the suspects typicallytarget jewelry as their property of choice,according to Valdez.

Two local Metro PCS stores wererobbed at gunpoint as well, but Valdezstressed that these robberies were a city-wide problem, not one limited to the 40thPrecinct.

He attributed the spike to opportunis-tic youth crews and a few instances ofthieves running into more resistance thanthey hoped for.

leged stolen vehicle, police obtained the li-cense plate reader records for the New YorkCity highway and bridge and tunnel crossingsfor August 2-4, 2014.

UPPER EAST SIDE Local edu-cation leaders are set to oppose a plan toeliminate a special NYPD unit that re-sponds to school emergencies.

The NYPD's plan to do away withthe Schools Unit which providesbackup to area schools for emergencycases including fights and emotionallydisturbed students at the 19th Precinctand to replace it with officers who'd beassigned to geographic beats is not sittingwell with District 2's Community Educa-tion Council, who've drafted a resolution

to oppose the idea. "The Community Ed-ucation Council District 2 urges theNYPD to maintain the Schools Units atreasonably staffed levels allowing themto retain their current responsibilitiesserving schools, students and staff," theresolution states.

The NYPD's policy would reassignofficers to patrol geographic beats and ismeant to get officers to understand theneighborhoods and schools better, ratherthan have a specific group of officers re-port to all of the schools in the precinct.

The new structure has already rolledout in the the 33rd and 34th precincts inWashington Heights and Inwood and the100th and 101st precincts in Rockaway.Police sources confirmed in July that itwas to be implemented in the 19thprecinct by the start of the upcomingschool year.

WESTCHESTER

Javon Roberts, 16, was sentenced Tues-day to an indeterminate term of threeand one-third to 10 years in prison in con-nection with his July 2015 guilty plea onrape charges, announced WestchesterCounty District Attorney Janet DiFiore.

The brutal and violent acts this defen-dant perpetrated against these two victims,one an 11 year old girl, belie the couragedisplayed by these women in coming for-ward, said DiFiore in a statement. Addi-tionally, excellent detective work andforensic analysis led to this defendant beingheld accountable today for the depravedcrimes he committed.

The Mount Vernon resident pleadedguilty to: one count of Rape in the First De-gree, a class B Felony, one count ofCriminal Sexual Act in the First Degree, aclass B Felony.

According to DiFiore: On October 20,2014 between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm the de-fendant abducted a 23 year old femalewalking home from work in Mount Vernon.

Placing a knife to her throat he at-tempted to rape her but then determiningthat they were too exposed at their currentlocation, forced her to come with him to theGrimes Elementary School Building lo-cated at 58 South 10th Street.

WASHINGTON, USA:

Antigua and Barbudas ambassador to theUnited States, Sir Ronald Sanders, haswritten to the mayor of the District of Colum-bia, Muriel Brower, and several members of theUS congress calling for the removal of Antiguaand Barbuda from a list of alleged taxhavens.

Antigua and Barbuda is among 30 coun-tries, including ten Caribbean Community(CARICOM) countries, which have been listedby the DC Council as tax havens in an Actthat has been sent to the US Congress for pas-sage into law. The full list of CARICOM coun-tries is: Antigua and Barbuda; The Bahamas;Barbados; Belize; Dominica; Grenada;Montserrat; St Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia;

and St Vincent andthe Grenadines.

Sanders let-ters follows a state-ment last week byAntigua and Bar-budas prime min-ister, GastonBrowne, whovoiced his objec-tion to the listingon behalf of allCARICOM states.Browne was speak-ing as the primeminister in thequasi-Cabinet of

CARICOM heads of government responsiblefor services. In his letters, Sanders urged themembers of the House of Representatives touse their offices to facilitate the removal of An-tigua and Barbudas from what he called aflawed and injurious list.

He noted that Antigua and Barbuda hasfound be fully compliant with internationalstandards on tax matters by the Financial Ac-tion Task Force and the OECDs Global Forumon Tax Matters on which bodies the US gov-ernment is fully represented.

He also pointed out that Antigua and Bar-buda has had a tax information exchange agree-ment with the United States since February 10,2003, and that no request made by the UnitedStates has been denied.

ST. ELIZABETH, JAMAICA WI:

The familiar sights of dug-up earth that pop-ulated communities across Manchesterand St Elizabeth in the heyday of bauxite areslowly beginning to return.

When a news team visited Myersville inSt Elizabeth recently, the bauxite mine locatedthere was abuzz with activity.

A tractor toiled away at the earth, diggingup the brown-red ore that is loaded on to trucksand transported to the UC Rusal Alpart refin-ery plant at Nain in the parish.

It is from here that the signs of life return-ing to the bauxite industry in the parish aremost evident.

The plant yesterday made preparationsfor its first shipment of bauxite in seven years- a milestone on its journey to return to full op-eration by late next year.

The plant was shuttered in 2009 after adownturn in global demand for bauxite andalumina.

Julian Keane, public-relations officer atUC Rusal, said that the first portion of bauxiteexport, which started yesterday, was minedfrom Manchester and has been in storage at theplant since 2009.

"What we are exporting is monohydratebauxite. There are two types of bauxite -monohydrate and trihydrate - but based on thelicence we got, we can only export monohy-drate bauxite," he said.

Cabinet in December of last year ap-proved a submission for Rusal Alpart Jamaicato mine and export up to two million crude wettonnes of monohydrate bauxite over an 18-month period. Under the agreement, Alpartwill have access to the allocation of 30 years'bauxite reserves to meet its capacity.

The National Low Income Housing Coalition estimates thatrental properties make up at least 40% of all households af-fected by foreclosure across the country; in New York the num-ber may be as high as 56%.

Another issue for tenants in foreclosed properties is prop-erty maintenance. During the foreclosure process, it can be dif-ficult to determine who is responsible for maintenance of theproperty.

The current property owner, the tenants, the foreclosingparty (usually a bank), and the new owner of a property goingthrough foreclosure all have certain rights and obligations.

BEFORE THE FORECLOSURE ACTIONPre-Foreclosure Notice

At the start of the foreclosure action, the bank must notifyall tenants that the property is the subject of a foreclosure action.Tenants must receive this notice before any post-foreclosureeviction action may be brought in court. The bank must provideits name, address, and telephone number on all notices to ten-ants.

For buildings with fewer than five rental units, the bankmust deliver notice directly to each tenant by certified, first-classmail. For buildings with five or more rental units, the bank mayinstead post copies of the notice on the outside of each of thebuildings entrances and exits.

This is an important right. While this doesn't protect youfrom foreclosure, it does let you know what's going on, and whois involved and enables you to start planning for the future.

Tenants May Be Named in the Foreclosure ActionThe bank may name each tenant as a defendant in the fore-

closure action. In such cases, the tenant will receive a formalsummons and complaint from the county clerk. This filing gen-erally serves as a secondary notice to ensure that all tenants areaware of the foreclosure. Although named as a defendant, thetenant has no legal obligation to appear in court to defend theaction.

WHILE THE FORECLOSURE ACTION IS PENDINGContinue to pay your rent. Before ownership is transferred

to a new owner tenants remain subject to the requirements of

their lease agreements, including payment of rent to the landlord.In some cases, a receiver may be appointed to manage rentalpayments while the action is pending. If a receiver is appointed,tenants should receive proof of appointment and information onhow to submit rental payments to the receiver instead of to thelandlord.

During the pending action, the landlord is required to main-tain the property as they would in the absence of any foreclosureaction.

AFTER A SUCCESSFUL FORECLOSURE ACTIONThe foreclosing party must notify all affected tenants of the out-come of the foreclosure judgment. There is typically a lapse be-tween the final foreclosure judgment which revokes ownershipfrom the landlord and the foreclosure sale, which completesthe sale and transfer of title to a new owner. During this time,the bank has a duty to maintain the property.

AFTER A SALE AND TITLE TRANSFERAfter the foreclosure sale is complete and title is transferred toa new owner, the new owner must provide written notice to alltenants providing the new owners name and address, and ad-vising tenants of the following rights:

Tenants in Rent-Controlled & Rent Stabilized Units: Re-gardless of the outcome of a foreclosure, tenants in rent-con-trolled and rent-stabilized units maintain the same rights andobligations as they did under agreements with their previouslandlords. The only change is the party to whom they submittheir rental payments. The new owner must continue to complywith all laws and regulations that apply to units subject to rentcontrol and rent stabilization.

The only exception to the above is that a new owner canevict a tenant, in only one unit, if the owner intends to occupythat unit as his/her primary residence. In that case, the newowner must provide notice to vacate at least 90 days prior to theeffective date of eviction.

Tenants in Section 8 Housing: The rights of tenants in Sec-tion 8 housing are almost the same as for rent- controlled andrent stabilized tenants, except that the standard for eviction is"for serious or repeated violations of the terms and conditionsof the lease, for violation of applicable Federal, State, or locallaw, or for other good cause."

Kingston, Jamaica:

Jamaicas Reggae Boyz began their 2018World Cup Qualifying campaign on a los-ing note when they were stunned 3 2 byCentral American minnows Nicaragua inwhat was a massive upset at the National Sta-dium on Friday night.

The Nicaraguans silenced the partisancrowd early when Manuel Rosas converted afifth (5th) minute penalty.

Carlos Chavarria made it two nil in theeighth (8th) minute while Luis Galeano addeda third goal two minutes into the second half.

Darren Mattocks struck in the sixty ninth(69th) minute while Adrian Mariappa scoredfrom close range twelve minutes from time tocut the deficit for the Reggae Boyz.

Jamaica's head coach Winfried Schaeferwas less than pleased at the end of the contest.

"From the first minute to the ninety fourthminute (four minutes were added for stop-pages)you have to concentrate. You can notthink that I was a finalist in the Gold Cup sonow I am a big player."

Defender Kemar Lawrence also shoul-dered some of the responsibility for the team'sdemise:"I think it was a bit of stupidy and badreading of the ball by me at first, there aresmall things we've got to get right for the nextgame."

The return leg will take place next Tues-day at the Nicaragua National Stadium inManagua, with the winner on aggregate ad-vancing to the fourth round, where they willbe placed in group "B" of the semi final roundalongside the seeded Costa Rica and Panama,as well as the winner of the Haiti versusGrenada match-up.

Young people think Oliver Samuels is asold as the mountain but he is only in hissixties, says Hope Morris, an OliverSamuels fan. Oliver was an actor and co-median and heard on radio since he was ateenager so people believe that going to anOliver play is going to see their grand papabut it is not so. Oliver plays in Jamaica arevibrant and he attracts many, many youngpeople.

Dennis Titus who was in DenzelWashingtons blockbuster, The MightyQuinn, and a star in Olivers new play, Di-vorce Papers is still in his thirties, ex-plains Jean White who appeared in severalOliver shows in the 1990s.

White says, These days theater andcomedy fans dont only see Oliver Samuelswhen they go to an Oliver play, they alsosee young and brilliant stars And, thecreativity of the award winning playwright,Basil Dawkins.

Although the famed Oliver Samuelsand Barbara McCalla lead the cast in thesuspenseful comedy play, Divorce Pa-pers, Maylynne Lowe and Dennis Titusare sheer fabulous. The aging Saint Luciaand Trinidad & Tobago Nobel Laureate,Derek Walcott and the late Miss Lou of Ja-maica upon seeing the brilliant acting ofMaylynne Lowe and Dennis Titus in Di-vorce Papers may proudly proclaim, Thefuture of Caribbean theater is in goodhands.

Ms. Lowe, only in her 30s, is a gradu-ate of the American Academy of DramaticArts in NY and Emerson College inBoston.

She has appeared in Jamaicas longestrunning television soap, Royal Palm Es-tate. She is a recipient of Best Actress in aLead Role for White Witch of Rosehall.Maylynne Lowe other theater and comedyroles include After Mrs. Rochester, Up-town Bangarang, Toy Boy, Which Way IsOut and Uptown Bangarang 2.

Dennis Titus is a graduate of EdnaManley College, Jamaica. He developedhis craft further in theater, film and televi-sion in the UK and USA. A friend re-marked, the opportunity of Dennisworking alongside Denzel Washington inthe Mighty Quinn, an experience whichhelped him into a dedicated professional.Caribbean theatre critics have applaudedTitus for his magnificent roles in EmbassySaga and Dolly House.

The most popular Caribbean play of2015, Divorce Papers is slated for per-formances in the boroughs of Brooklyn,Bronx and Queens. We can only do twoweekends in New York, says playwrightBasil Dawkins since we are booked forperformances in the USVI and England inOctober thru early November.

In his 44 years living in New York City,Thomas Bailey has seen it all in termsof the evolution of Jamaican culture.

This week, Bailey is one of the 'headcook and bottle-washers' for New YorkCaribbean Carnival Week.

Revellers at last year's New YorkCaribbean Carnival Week.

He is the president of the West IndianAmerican Day Carnival Association(WIADCA) which oversees the annualfive-day spectacle which culminates onSeptember 7 with the New YorkCaribbean Carnival Parade along Brook-lyns Eastern Parkway.

According to Bailey, 'Carnival Week'is a big deal for the West Indian commu-nity in the tri-state area which also in-cludes New Jersey and Connecticut."WIADCA's year-round programmes aswell as New York Caribbean CarnivalWeek not only breathes energy into thedaily routine of many Caribbean-Ameri-cans, but also provides a solid economicstimulus to New York City during LabourDay week," he said.

The Big Apple's Labour Day celebra-tions are the most extravagant in theUnited States. It is also the most diverse,a reflection of the city's cosmopolitan de-mographics.

Carnival Week is an economic boonfor all concerned. "It is a known fact thatNYC and the borough of Brooklyn sees anincrease in tourism, commerce and visi-bility while many local businesses andvendors have the opportunity to partici-pate at New York Caribbean CarnivalWeek by vending, advertising and show-

casing their products, services," Bailey ex-plained.

Queens-based radio station Irie Jam,Caribbean Airlines, Digicel, OneCaribbean TV, and Golden Krust are someof the companies involved with CarnivalWeek this year.

Irie Jam, an influential outlet for Ja-maican culture in the tri-state area for 22years, has signed with WIADCA to helppromote the event.

Carnival Week begins on Thursdaywith Caribbean Freedom Festival, featur-ing KES the Band from Trinidad and To-bago. The following day is the annual StayIn School Concert and College Fair, withRicardo Drue, the 2015 Antigua SocaMonarch among its artistes.

On Saturday, the highlight is the an-nual Panorama Showcase, in which 11steel orchestras compete for Steel BandChampion.

Sunday's closing day is the most hec-tic. In addition to the parade, there is IrieJam Radio's 22nd Anniversary Celebra-tion at Roy Wilkins Park; and a Legendsin Caribbean Music event with the MightySparrow and David Rudder of T&T, Swal-low from Antigua and Barbados' EdwinYearwood.

With the exception of the parade andIrie Jam concert, the events will occur be-hind the Brooklyn Museum.

BEAUTY CARE

-

By Le Trinh, Esq. http://blogs.findlaw.com

Business is about maximizing profits byraising revenue and keeping costs low.But, business owners should also considerthe human costs.

New York nail salons are getting atough lesson in humanity from GovernorAndrew Cuomo. The Governor recently is-sued an emergency order calling for rulesto protect nail salon workers from wagetheft and mistreatment.

Expose on MistreatmentJust last week, The New York Times

published a report on the systemic abuseof manicurists throughout the state.

Many exploited salon workers are im-migrants or undocumented, making themeasy victims. According to the reports,some manicurists are paid as little as $1per hour. This is far below New York's cur-rent minimum wage of $5.65 per hour, andthe future rate of $7.50 per hour, for tippedservice workers.

Salon workers are also constantly sur-rounded by harsh chemicals that can causemiscarriages, birth defects, and a plethoraof other health problems.

New York's New RulesUnder these new rules, nail salon ownerswill have to:-Post signs detailing workers' rights in sixdifferent languages;-Buy insurance to cover unpaid wageclaims; and

-Properly ventilate stores and requireworkers to wear gloves; Governor Cuomohas also put together a task force of inves-tigators to inspect New York's thousandsof nail salons for wage and safety viola-tions. Salons that do not comply with thenew rules risk being shut down.

Employers in GeneralWhile it may be tempting for businessowners to keep costs down by loweringemployee pay, beware. In New York, fail-ure to pay wages according to the law is amisdemeanor for the first offense and afelony for the second offense. You can bepunished by a fine of up to $20,000 and upto one year in prison.

Wage violations in other states couldcost you even more. In Massachusetts, em-ployers must pay three times the wrongedemployee's damages, and federal law al-lows for double damages.

If you have any doubts about the com-pliance of your business practices, consultwith an experienced local business attor-ney for guidance.

Dear Divine Diva:

I'm a 23-year-old guy who, due tomoney problems, credit card bills andstudent loans, recently moved back withmy parents.

Before I moved in they made meagree to a written contract that includedno drinking, no smoking of any kind, amidnight curfew, getting a job and statingthat once I move out I can't move back inagain. I get what they're trying to do, butI feel like they are treating me like achild. I only agreed to the terms becauseI was desperate.

I have abided by all the rules, butthey still are suspicious of me breakingthe con-tract after five months under theirroof. I want to move out, but I am still un-able to do so. What can I do to make thissituation better? -- Desperate In Brooklyn

Dear Desperate: Your parents may have insisted on thestipulations of the contract because ofsomething that happened before you firstmoved out on your own. Because theyfeel strongly about drinking, smoking andthe curfew, the best advice I can offer isto obey the rules, avoid arguments andsave your money until you can earnenough to become independent again. -DD

College Bound Student Doesn't Measure Up in Parents Eyes

Dear Divine Diva:

I'm 18 years old. I play two competitivesports, maintain a 4.0 GPA, have goodfriends and will be attending the college of mydreams. Yet for some reason I cannot getalong with my parents. It seems like I can'tlive up to their standards.

We get into huge fights every day overinsignificant things. My parents continuallytell me they don't think I will handle collegevery well because I "can't get along with peo-ple." But their lack of faith just frustrates meand we get into more fights. In reality, theonly people I don't get along-with are my par-ents.

This is unsettling to me because next fallI will be far across the country from them andI feel they will be happy when Im gone.im ata loss as to what to do to control my temperand fix my relationship with my parents be-fore I leave. Your advice would be appreci-ated.

Dear Karen: It's possible that your parents may be suffer-ing from separation anxiety. You, their child,are about to leave the nest, and they may bedealing with conflicting feelings of pride inyour accomplishments and sadness that youare about to fly from the nest. It may not be alack of faith in you. Also, they may be havingsecond thoughts about how they can affordthe tuition and other college expenses beyondpossible financial aid. Sit and talk to your par-ents you'll be glad you did.

Being a young person in college can becostly with or without financial aid. Somepeople pay off their student loans until theyare in their mid 30s. In the following article ayoung man is forced to move back into hisparents home due to financial problems, buthe is getting treated as if he were a child. Readbelow for more information.

One of the most notorious outbreak ofLegionnaires was in Philadelphia in1976, when approximately 200 people at-tending a hotel convention contracted thedisease, and 34 died.

Until the source of the outbreak isfound, visitation and volunteer programsare suspended, reported the article. The dis-ease is named after a 1976 outbreak at anAmerican Legion convention in Philadel-phia that killed 34 people and made 221others sick.

The source of the bacteria hasnt beendetermined, but Drummond said the healthdepartment is confident its limited to theveterans home.

Legionnaires disease is a serious formof pneumonia that is spread fromaerosolized water that has Legionella bac-teria.

State and local health departments areasked to report cases to the CDC, manycases arent reported, including many hos-pitalizations.

The new cases increase the number ofresidents contaminated at the Quincy vet-erans home to 29. Tests were pendingTuesday for other residents.

An epidemiological team from thefederal Centers for Disease Control andPrevention in Atlanta came to Quincy onMonday to assist the state investigation.

The California Department of Correc-tions and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has beensearching for the source of the Legion-naires disease and testing all inmates thatshow any pneumonia-like symptoms.

Legionella bacteria commonly growand thrive in water systems, such as cool-ing towers, water tanks, hot tubs, fountains,and plumbing systems in large buildings.

City of Phoenix officials tell ABC15,its an internal issue with the VA and thewater going into the facility was clean.

Also in August, California officialswere determining the origin of a Legion-naires outbreak at San Quentin StatePrison that had sickened at least five in-mates and left dozens more under observa-tion.

Legionnaires was first reported all theway back in 1976, and cases have been ris-ing quite rapidly in recent years.

About 1,110 cases of Legionnairesdisease were reported in 2000 comparedwith 3,522 in 2009, an astonishing increasebased on reports from the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention.

So what does this have to do withGlobal Warming? Legionnaires comesfrom the Legionella bacteria, which infects

people through the air it is not conta-gious and cant be spread from human tohuman. This bacteria, which results inpneumonia that can kill children, the eld-erly, and people with compromised im-mune systems, likes to make its appearancein the summer and early fall, where itthrives in warm environments.

It particularly likes warm water andmay infect hot tubs, plumbing systems, orair conditioning cooling units.
