Fresh Food Box in Harlem
U
ptown Grand is announcing the Fresh Food box will be available YEAR-ROUND throughout the winter. What’s a Fresh Food Box? It’s a big bag of locally grown and seasonal vegetables and fruit from the farmers of GrowNYC/ Greenmarket Co. Each bag is just $14, and we accept cash, debit/credit and SNAP/EBT. Most folks reserve their bags one week in advance, but we also have a limited number of bags available for purchase the day-of.
Each week we also have fresh breads baked by East Harlem’s own Hot Bread Kitchen, pasture-raised eggs from Red Gate Farm, honey from Tremblay Apiaries and hot sauce from Bronx community gardens. Once a month, Cairncrest Farm visits us with their sustainably raised meat and dairy (their next visit is January 16). Want to reserve a bag for next week? - email info@uptowngrandcentral.org.

The Inauguration of Letitia James By Michelle Deal Winfield
O
n Sunday, January 6, 2019, hundreds poured into John Jay College of Criminal Justice, New York on West 59th Street to witness history. Letitia James a Brooklyn born native, former Council Member and Public Advocate was sworn-in as the 67th Attorney General of the state of New York. The ceremony was regal. Beginning with the Invocation, Reverend Calvin Butts, Imam Ahmed Dewidar and Rabbi Joseph Potasnik provided words of encouragement. Reverend Butts prayer included asking God to keep Letitia James safe and out of harms way. The audience responded by saying, “Amen.” Speakers alternated one-by-one sending well wishes
to Letitia James. They included: Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, Representative Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8), Representative Carolyn Maloney (NY – 12), and New York Senator Charles Schumer. Hon. Kathy Hochul referred to Letitia as her sister and said, “As we campaigned together, we became closer.” Chuck Schumer said, “The Attorney General, A.G. stands for aspiring Governor.” There were several artistic performances during the ceremony. The Harlem School of the Arts drew a standing ovation for their rendition of I’ll Rise Up. Evangelist Timiney Figueroa sang the National Anthem and the New York Chinese Cultural Center performed the Red Ribbon Dance.
Loretta Lynch, the 83rd Attorney General of the United States asked Letitia James to raise her hand for the swearing-in. Former President of the Manhattan Borough C. Virginia Fields held the bible during the ceremony. The citizens cheered wildly. They had just witnessed history. The first black person was now the 67th Attorney General of the state of New York. In closing, Attorney General Letitia James paid tribute to her late parents saying, “I grew up in the projects from Brooklyn. There was love. Letitia thanked everyone for their support, “I would not be here without you. As Attorney General, I am committed to protect the rights of all New Yorkers. I am eager to get to work to move our state forward,” she said.

THE ADAMS REPORT© 10 Spiritual Must-haves for 2019
S
ince this is the beginning of a New Year and resolutions are the order of the day, I thought it would be good to consider a different kind of list, of spiritual must-haves, to apply to all seasons to come. Perhaps if we all adopt some basic principals we can improve the quality
of our lives and the lives of those we come in contact with on a daily basis. Drum roll please . . . In 2019 resolve to . . . (1) Respectyourself and others. By respecting the differences that make each one of us unique, we have an opportunity to experience the rich mosaic that life has to offer. It sounds simple: Accept a person regardless of race, religion, creed, color or country of origin. (2) Feel compassionwith an open, loving heart. Hate is contagious, but so is love. It is within each of us to think and feel with love. Set aside your own interests to allow your spirit to hear unspoken pain and heartache. Respond with kindness, understanding and humility when asked to un-

derstand and comprehend the seemingly impossible. (3) Develop understanding, and be gentle with yourself and others. People’s life experiences help shape their personality. No two people share the same perspective on anything even if they experience it together. Make room for others and their experiences. (4) Begin to value time, yours and everyone else’s. Life is short, too short to waste it procrastinating. When you think about it, it takes a great deal of time to procrastinate! Why not do something instead of putting it off? Ultimately you save time because you are freeing up energy to pursue other opportunities. (5) Have a prayerful spirit. Take time each day
to meditate or to pray for the welfare of the world and its people. The universe needs your support. (6) Commit to at least one kind acteach day. How much time does it take to reach out and brighten someone’s day? To quietly acknowledge that the world doesn’t revolve around you? To realize that we all have to look beyond our own pain and circumstances to help others? To know that by taking time to be kind we are helping someone else heal? (7) Work toward inner peace. I think it was Jasmine Guy’s character, Whitley in an episode of A Different Worldthat I found particularly significant who said, “Relax, relate, release!” I found myself repeating those three words (with a chuckle, I might add), but never really practicing the intent. Well, it’s a new day! Let go of the turmoil that threatens to bog you down, and move forward in peace, knowing that a higher power has everything under control. Know it from the very center of your spirit. Even as negativity and turmoil surround you, you can wear a spiritual armor stronger than any
protection human beings can devise. (8) Release your creative energy! Do you secretly want to be an artist, but haven’t pursued it because you feel silly or that you don’t have the time or talent? Who cares! This is about exploring your interests. Following your passion could lead to a new job or hobby or become a source of self-expression and joy that flows through to other areas of your life. You will be a more joyful person. (9) Find the courage to release the child within you! This one is a tough one, because we have “grown up”, and being grown means a certain amount of seriousness is in order. Nonsense! Lighten up! I am not suggesting that you put on blinders, but that you let yourself be awed by the wonder and sheer majesty of life—and by the divine sense of humor we experience every day. (10) Exercise free choice. Choose something you feel you need in order to make a difference in your life in 2019 and go after it. Know that it’s all up to you. Nothing and nobody is dictating your path of action.
So, there you have it. Of course, if you make these ten must-haves a part of your life, the world won’t change overnight and neither will you. But I promise you that you will set the wheels of personal—and collective—change in motion. Think about it.

Herbs Are Nature’s Medicine...
By Zakiyyah
HERB TIP for the NEW YEAR t is cold and flu season. If you are seeking natural, herbal remedies, you probably already know that most herbs are not ‘tasty.’ Most are bland, many (those that are best for us) are really bitter tasting. REMEDY: mix them with honey (use a raw, natural honey) and you’ll never experience the horrible taste! For colds, to eliminate mucus congestion and coughs, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN, use equal parts of the herbs coltsfoot, yerba santa, wild cherry bark, mullein, and ¼ part echinacea. These are very
common and available at most local botanicas or herbs stores. Mix together and grind to a powder (you can use a simple coffee grinder) and mix with honey to a paste consistency. If you warm the honey it will soften and the powdered will be easy to mix in; then the honey can be by the spoonful (it will chew like peanut butter) and will be sweet so you don’t really taste the bitter herbs. Simply take by the ¼, ½ or full teaspoonful as necessary. Or add to a cup of boiling water and viola, ready-made sweetened tea! It works really well in aiding the body to reduce asthma and other

“Blended”
HARLEM COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS
REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor
O
ne plus one is two.
It’s simple: all you have to do is add or count, easy-peasy, a trick you probably learned shortly after you could talk. One plus one is two but as you grow up, you’ll notice that math can get funny and, in the case of the new book “Blended” by Sharon M. Draper, one plus one might suddenly become more. Eleven-year-old Isabella Badia Thornton has two homes. It’s not like she’s rich or anything. It’s true, though, that one house is like a mansion and
the other is really small, but the first one is her Dad’s house and the second belongs to her Mom. Isabella has a bedroom in each home because her parents got divorced when she was a little kid and it’s been a mess ever since. What she doesn’t like: the “slicing in half every seven days” thing when her parents exchange custody at the mall. Ugh. What she loves: her tall, funny, cocoa-skinned dad who bought her a baby grand because Isabella is obsessed with playing piano; and her beauti-
ful, blonde mother, who noticed Isabella’s talent back when Izzy was almost still a baby. Isabella would never choose between parents but sometimes, standing with one foot in two homes, between two races, is really, really hard. Her friends are super-understanding and her parents’ friends are cool. Her BFFs, Heather and Imani, let Isabella vent. Her Mom’s boyfriend, John Mark, has sunburned skin, tats, and a big truck and he makes Mom happy. Anastasia, Isabella’s Dad’s “lady friend” is

elegant and sweet and Isabella Darren, Anastasia’s college-age son. So it’s not like she doesn’t have people who love her, right? But when you’re eleven years old, there’s a lot to figure out. Other kids can be jerks at school, and do dumb things. Adults can do equally stupid things by making decisions without asking the kids who are impacted. Racial issues occur, even when they definitely shouldn’t. And when bad things happen to good kids, it’s nice to know who you can always count on. It can be assumed that author Sharon M. Draper was a little girl, once upon a time. Can we assume she remembers it keenly? Because in “Blend-

“Stop That Yawn!”
by Caron Levis, illustrated by LeUyen Pham
Yawn oozed down on Never Sleeping City . On the sidewalks, circus animals yawned and nodded off. The ice cream man took a snooze. The city’s baker stretched and opened his mouth wide. Gabby started to panic! “Quick!” she yelled. “Grit your teeth, seal your lips, we have to stop that –“ But it was too late. The Yawn spread all through the city, up and down the streets, into shops and opera houses and into Never Sleeping City ’s city hall. Gabby rang bells, she shouted, but the
Yawn was everywhere. Never Sleeping City was now asleep. There was just “one place left for her to turn.” There was only one thing Gabby could do. There was just one place left to go, and she would have to take Granny with her! For a book that would otherwise make an excellent bedtime story, “Stop That Yawn!” has a surprising amount of action in it. If you’re a parent who’ll be charged with reading it aloud, take that as a warning. Author Caron Levis tells a great story, but the arrival in and the ensuing
run through the fictional Never Sleeping City could serve to rouse a kid who’s a master at fighting sleep. There’s a lot to see in artwork by LeUyen Pham and while the illustrations are wonderful, they’re busy enough to add to the battle. And yet, if you use your bedtime voice, how could your child resist a tale that so charmingly winds down an active night? How could you bear to miss a bedplane, or a Vegas-like cartoon town, or a giraffe that’s sweetly collapsed in slumber? You can’t, and neither could your 4-to-8-year-old, especially if (s)he can’t sleep without a story. Read carefully, soft and quiet, and “Stop That Yawn!” is a book you’ll never get tired of. “Stop That Yawn!” by Caron Levis, illustrated by LeUyen Pham c.2018, Atheneum Books for Young Readers $17.99 / $23.99 Canada 48 pages

tired, but in the new book “Stop That Yawn!” by Caron Levis, illustrated by LeUyen Pham, you might act like you are. Gabby Wild lived with her Granny in Sleepytown. And she was tired of it! All they ever did was sleep, nap, snooze, and lay in bed. Ugh, who needs that? Gabby begged and begged Granny to take her somewhere fun, somewhere there was action and where people actually stayed up all night. Finally, Granny agreed and they packed their toothbrushes. When they finally reached Never Sleeping City , it was glorious. Nobody went to bed early. Nobody went to bed at all! Instead, they sung songs all night that weren’t lullabies, they enjoyed blinky lights, and they had ice cream whenever they wanted it. There was an opera house and dancing and music! It was so much fun! It was so exciting, until Granny looked up to the skies. The moon was quiet and peaceful. Stars were twinkling softly. And – uh oh – she yawned. As quick as a wink, the
ed,” she taps perfectly into the emotions and the figuring-it-out period that almost-teenagers endure today. In getting inside the head of a pre-teen girl, Draper presents a great young character that happens to hate drama. Still, Isabella is a typical kid with bashful boy-crazy moments and fiercegirl classmate conflicts, but her forthrightness and willingness to ask for help could be a boon for any “blended” child in similar situations. Parents might also appreciate that many of Draper’s characters are not assigned a race, which subtly puts the emphasis of much of the plot on the action rather than on the color of skin. Meant purely for young readers age 9-to-12, this middle-grade book is fun, profani-
