GOOD NEWS YOU CAN USE!

Happy Independence Day - July 4th!!! I hope you and your family enjoy this holiday period.

Be safe.

Earlier this month on June 19th we celebrated Juneteenth which is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Velma Banks keeps the celebration alive in Harlem each year. (see page 10) June 19th has also been deemed “World Sickle Cell Day.” People of color are particularly susceptible to have the Sickle Cell disease and trait. (see page 3) Don’t wait until you are in your 60’s to start planning for your retirement. Tips are provided on page 4. If you are already over 60, perhaps you can learn something that may help you in the upcoming years.

4 Ways to Eat Affordably this Summer (Statepoint)

S

ummers tend to be jam packed with activity -- from baseball games to trips to the pool to evening strolls through the neighborhood.

Fuel your family affordably through it all with these tips from the discount experts at Dollar General.

• Start your day right: Whether it’s a granola bar, a fresh muffin or an elaborate meal of eggs, bacon and pancakes, it’s important to start every day with breakfast. Rather than stopping off each morning at a coffee shop or diner, you can make breakfast at home for far less. Stock up on break-

fast ingredients at a discount retailer and don’t forget to buy ground coffee or energy drinks to give yourself a jumpstart to the day.

• Power through with a power lunch: Keep lunch affordable by stocking up on sandwich materials for the entire week, including fresh bread and a variety of condiments, sandwich meat and cheese. If you or your family members get bored easily, mix and match these elements to keep things interesting each day. Then, add some almonds, chips or fruit snacks for a complete meal. For outdoor summer lunches, consider items that can be easily grilled.

• Make dinner time

stop shopping at Dollar General. Consider carving out a bit more time in your evening with paper products and plastic uten-

sils that will make dinner clean-up a breeze.

• Stay full with snack time: Keep kids energized between meals with snacks like cereal bars, chips, nuts and popsicles. Does your child play little league or another sport? You can ensure the entire team stays well-hydrated with sports drinks and water.

Discount retailers offer these items in bulk at very affordable prices.

For more ideas to keep your family fed for less this summer, visit DollarGeneral.com.

When it comes to affordable cooking, don’t fret. Make plans to fuel your family’s activities all summer long with savvy shopping.

The Ultimate Summer Dining Out Guide: 10 Tips for a Healthier You (Statepoint)

W

ith summer, comes BBQs, beach days and dining out with family and friends. And if you’re trying to lose weight or maintain your healthy lifestyle, a big part of being successful is having the freedom to enjoy the things you love and not feel deprived. Strike the right balance with this ultimate summer dining out guide from Mandi Knowles, dietitian for South Beach Diet.

1. Be choosy. Don’t default to your neighborhood greasy spoon just for the sake of dining out. Try a new restaurant and make it a special occasion.

2. Go online before you

gies steering clear of calorie bomb add-ons like heavy dressings and condiments.

4. Don’t show up starving. Don’t skip out on breakfast or snacks so you can splurge. Showing up overly hungry makes you likely to overindulge.

Plus, skipping meals could lead to a blood sugar crash and subsequent snacking, throwing you off track.

5. Be the portion police.

Restaurant portions are often two or three times the amount you need for any given meal. Consider sharing an entrée with a friend, saving half your meal for later, ordering from the kid’s menu or choosing a few healthy appetizers instead of a full meal.

6. Start green. Start with a side salad to sneak in a serving of veggies and prevent overdoing it once your main meal arrives. Hold the croutons and cheese and ask for the dressing on the side.

7. Have it your way.

Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. Seek out lighter preparations. Think steamed, broiled and grilled instead of breaded, battered and fried. Switch preparations, substitute ingredients, nix the butter or cream and if that’s not possible, ask your server to point you to healthier selections.

8. Make reservations.

Nothing’s worse than waiting when you’re hungry.

Before you know it, you’re seated and your desperate tummy is calling the shots.

9. Stay hydrated. According to a study published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, drinking just over two cups of water 30 minutes before

a meal helped dieters consume fewer calories and lose 44 percent more weight than those who didn’t hydrate before meals. Bring a water bottle in the car with you so you feel fuller when you arrive.

10. End with coffee. Skip dessert and enjoy a coffee, tea or espresso to give your stomach time to signal your brain that you’re full. Plus, you’re ending the meal with a pick that’s not packed with sugar, processed carbs and unhealthy fats.

With these simple strategies, you can visit all your favorite restaurants without any guilt or risk of sabotaging your healthy lifestyle.

Amplify Justice Brings Social Justice Messages to Harlem

I

to a topic the artist connects to. Over a period of time, the artist(s) and members of the community group dialogue to create a poster conveying a message about their unique social justice issue.

While some of the artists involved had conversation virtually, other artists such as Bobby C. Martin Jr., physically spent time with their partner community organization to synthesize the ideas each party brought to the table reflected in the poster. Martin and his team at Original Campions of Design worked with the young womyn at the Lower East Side Girls Club to create a poster around Girls Empowerment.

Amplify Justice is largely a volunteer effort, however the artists involved did receive a $500 stipend. Some artists generously donated the money back into the organization they worked with.

Another component of the Amplify initiative is an interpretive dance performance in response to the poster art choreographed by Kyle Marshall and produced by Harlem Stage. Marshall premiered his dance at the Museum of Arts and Design on December 3, 2017 and will bring his dance to the streets of Harlem, near the posters, in the late summer/early fall.

The idea for Amplify Justice largely cultivated out of a 2014 project developed by Engelstad and Embrey Family Foundation called “Dialogues on Race,” in which artists and designers teamed up to create billboards displayed in the Dallas, Texas area connected to race and ethnicity through the such topics as Islamophobia, Police Brutality and Mass Incarceration.

Engelstad moderated round-circle discussions

around racial justice and the billboards with local grassroots community activists, many from South Dallas, a historically African American community. “I recognize my white privilege as paramount to informing how I engage with the community,” said Engelstad. “My job was to know when to step back and listen.”

The billboard that sparked most controversy among community activists displayed the message “We are all black” and was created by artists Darryl Ratcliff and Rebecca Carter. A conversation around black identity was sparked.

“The community took issue with we are all black…They thought we are all from Africa would have been better,” said Engelstad. “There was a real expression of the depths of people’s feelings on this topic.”

Engelstad said Amplify Justice will also be organizing more opportunities for Harlem residents to respond to the posters. “This will lead us to other ideas and feed community engagement and empowerment,” she said. A tentative conversation with the artists involved is set for early fall at Revolution Books in Harlem.

For a complete list of artists and community organizations involved in Amplify Justice visit www.amplifyjustice.org. Email questions/ comments to Janeil Engelstad at janeil@mac.com and/or Mark Randall at mrandall@ worldstudioinc.com.

f you have found yourself on 125th and Malcolm X Boulevard in the past few months, you’ve probably noticed the life-sized posters in front of Whole Foods with messages such as “You don’t need a gun to feel powerful” and “Live, Love, Dream.” The eight posters are part of a project known as Amplify Justice, a public art initiative spearheaded by art activists Janeil Engelstad and Mark Randall.

Amplify Justice collaborated with the NYC Department of Transportation, which provided the five stands to display 10 posters with design and messages related to unique social justice issues.

The posters, originally displayed on Water Street in the heart of Manhattan’s Financial District, moved uptown in April and have received a positive response from local residents according to Founding Director of Make Art with Purpose Janeil Engelstad.

I’ve seen many people taking selfies and engaging with the posters,” she said, also noting the posters are sparking much needed dialogue. For example, in reaction to a poster related to transgender rights, Engelstad said a local community member commented, “We don’t have enough space for these conversations.”

Mark Randall, Creative Director of Worldstudio and Assistant Professor of Strategic Design at Parsons said a critical thought that propels Amplify Justice is “how to use design and creativity to impact social change.” The first step in the process is identifying visual artists with roots in social justice activism and teaming them up with a community organization doing social justice work related

Home Buying In Harlem

Be Prepared to Buy Now

O

FOXWORTHREALTYONLINE.COM

by Rev. Charles Butler

ver the past few weeks I have heard of some common mistakes that many prospective first-time buyers have made attempting to complete the home buying process. It is important to understand same basic do’s and don’ts of the home process to avoid making any costly mistakes.

Here are some things to consider: (1) Do not make an offer on a home until you have a pre-approval letter from an authorized lender. Know how much you can afford to spend on a monthly mortgage payment. Understand the various types of mortgage products and determine which one is most suitable for you. If you make an offer before getting a pre-approval your deposit will be in jeopardy.

(2) Sign nothing until your real estate attorney has reviewed the sales contract. Sit down with your attorney and review the contract with him/ her so you completely understand all the legal ramifications. Once both parties have signed the contract, it is a legally binding document. It can be very difficult and/or costly to get out of the agreement.

(3) Do not allow anyone to select the members of your home buying team for you.

Get referrals from your housing counselor or people you trust who have just recently completed the home buying process. Do not under any circumstances agree to use “a one stop shop” where the entire team has been pre-determined.

(4) Attend an approved

housing counseling workshop at the beginning of the process. The home buying workshop will give you tremendous insights on how to navigate through the dangerous and tricky waters of negotiating a purchase price, determining the right type of property for your specific needs, and selecting a team of professionals. You will learn industry terminology, mortgage products and available grant programs.

You will acquire the confidence needed to complete the process and to successfully become a homeowner.

If you are interested in attending the workshop or have questions regarding the home buying process, contact Rev. Dr. Charles Butler at (212) 281 4887 ext. 231or email at cbutler@hcci.org.

Riverside Park is a historical natural gem along the Manhattan coast.

Aside from being an escape into nature from the city, the park supports one of the oldest cultivated collections of American Elms, a thriving bird sanctuary, and a number of migratory woodland species. These species, as well as park users, depend on the health of the park and the Hudson River to maintain this natural haven. However, due to heavy park traffic and the flow of the river, litter and trash can present a problem to the park and river as a habitat and outdoor recreation space.

Help us protect the park and riverbanks by joining us at this cleanup!

United By Blue will provide all cleanup supplies, snacks, and water. Join us for cleanup games, prize giveaways, and a morning of enjoying and caring

for Riverside Park!

Little Rock: a masterful musical play on a riveting true story of courage, endurance and resilience.

By Maria Grazia CAVENAGHI

H

teens and their families – ‘the Little Rock Nine’ counselled and supported all along by the NAACP simply decide ‘to exercise their right to go to school’.

But in the Jim Crow south, their legitimate quest for a better education soon turns into what became nationally known as ‘The Little Rock Crises - igniting deep rooted fears and resistance to change- in a racially divided country.

On the eve of the Civil Rights movement, these nine children’s battle changed the course of racial relations in this country,

“I would like the message to be: reflect on the good progress in racial integration and education outcomes over the past 60 years -- however, don’t take it for granted, or we could find ourselves back in pre1957 conditions. The Little Rock Nine were in that

number of Civil Rights soldiers, some known, and many not, who would topple the walls of segregation (Jericho) by marching into previously forbidden classrooms that the Supreme Court said was their rightful place to be. If we’re not careful, those walls can, and

may, be rebuilt.

The fantastic nine-member cast features young and multitalented: Rebekah Brockman (The Bridge of Spies), Justin Cunningham (The Winter’s Tale) Charlie Hudson III (A Raisin in the Sun), Peter O’Connor (The Flick), Ashley Robinson (A Clockwork Orange), Damian Jermaine Thompson (English Vinglish), Stephanie Umoh (Ragtime), Anita Welch (Avenue Q), and making her New York stage debut Shanice Williams (NBC’s “The Wiz Live”).

Masterfully written and directed by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, the play takes place between September 1957 and May1958.

After the amazing opening performance, I was thrilled and honored to be able to meet two of the original Little Rockians who had flown in for the event: Mr. Green and Mrs. Elisabeth Eckford. I asked them how well the play captured their life-changing experience and what was the message they wanted the audience to bring home.

Mrs. Eckford, a revered and beautiful grandmother now, said she was very pleased with the representation given and that “We must honestly acknowledge our painful but shared past in order to have, finally, reconciliation”. Mr. Green added: ‘The play represents everything we faced that year, both the good and the bad. My message is: never give up’ I then asked Harvey Butler, lead producer, what made him embark on this10 year-long project. ’I was hesitant, at first - he said - I never saw myself getting involved with producing theater, until I read the script and realized who the story was about!

I decided to support this project because it was more than entertainment -- it was a story that would honor unwitting heroes whose sacrifice yielded multigenerational benefits -- not just in America, but in far flung places where the story of courage would reverberate to others being denied the right to quality education”.

Golfing While Black: Grandview Golf Club Asks Five Black Women to Leave the Club for Golfing Too Slow

By Sandra Thompson, Esq. (President, NAACP York County, Pa. Branch)

O

Harlem Community Newspapers | July 12. 2018

n Saturday, April 21, 2018, I woke up excited, anticipating a round of golf at Grandview Golf Club in York, Pa. I was going to play with four ladies from “Sisters in the Fairway” (SITF), a group of about 15 professional, predominantly African American women in York County, Pa., who golf.

SITF are women of various levels of expertise from beginner to advanced golfers. The group was formed in 2008 as a sisterhood of ladies who golfed with their husbands, many of whom were members of the York County Black Golfers Association.

We appreciate the challenge that golf presents and the control that golf requires. Golf lessons are required. We know and respect golf etiquette and rules.

As a single mother, I prioritized raising two children, building my business and working in the community. In 2010, when my youngest child left for college, she suggested I “get some friends.” So, as an empty-nester, I took her suggestion. I was introduced to the ladies of SITF. I began playing around 2011-2012 and found that I loved the game. SITF normally travels to different courses throughout Central Pennsylvania in each outing. Some also play in other states and in other countries, when they travel. As individuals, we occasionally played at Grandview, which was now under new ownership.

On this day, there was a slight wind and I took selfies on my way to the golf course.

All five of us appeared at our scheduled tee times. I was giv12 en permission to play as a fifth

member.

We were the only group of African American women playing. It began great, even though Grandview had an hour delay. We did not complain.

We were elated to see each other since we had not all been together since the past season.

We took selfies, as we anticipated anticipating enjoying each other’s company, the day, and golf.

We hit great drives “hitting them high and letting them fly.”

We played “ready golf.” We were excited.

Our excitement did not last.

On just the second hole, former York County Commissioner Steve Chronister was pushy and aggressive, falsely accusing us of slowing down the other players. He said he was refunding our membership, so we would leave. We reminded him that we paid and wanted to play.

Our group was in shock.

Despite the distractions, we made up time and finished the first half in about two hours as required.

But the stress was too much. Our game was affected.

We were upset—wondering whether Chronister was going to approach us again and dismayed that he wanted to refund our memberships, as though we and our money were worthless—so three women in our group left halfway through the game.

When we, the remaining two, tried to continue playing to salvage the day, five large White men, including Steve and his son, Jordan Chronister, approached us and told us to get off their property. I became tongue-tied trying to ask why they were kicking us off the

property when we had a paid membership and also paid for the day. They gave us multiple reasons, each one proving to be false.

Because we questioned why we could not enjoy our membership and play golf, the police were called. I was bewildered. We had done nothing wrong. I was also embarrassed and humiliated having been made into a spectacle as White men exited the golf restaurant area and watched the events unfold.

We waited for the police. I was fearful and apprehensive as to what would occur when police arrived. What would be the officer’s attitude?

But I did not want to leave and have charges filed against me in the mail, because Grandview gave a false statement that I had no opportunity to answer.

When police arrived, they heard my name and recognized me. The police were professional and went back and forth between Grandview Golf Club and us, advising us that Grandview wanted to refund the memberships of the entire group, even those who left early.

The officers interviewed the group behind us and concluded that we were not playing slowly

and maintained pace, even with five people. The group told the police we did not hold them up, and were pleasant to them.

It was obvious that the police were called, because of Grandview’s owners reaction to the us, and not because the group behind us had complained.

A few days after the incident, I was still anxious, because I did not know if they were going to file charges. I knew charges could be sent in the mail. It was not until the police chief issued a statement that no charges were warranted could I sigh in relief. Nevertheless, I developed headaches for a few days.

I have been an attorney in Pennsylvania for over 18 years.

I ran for judge in York County, Pa. in 2009 and 2017. I am the President of the York County, Pa., NAACP branch, Pennsylvania NAACP Legal Redress chair and former first vice president. I am also the vice chair of the York County Democratic Party. I advocate for criminal justice reform, voting rights, equal access to fair wages, employment, and quality housing and education.

But, who cares about my titles?

Everyone who pays their

fee should be allowed to play golf, if they desire, without interruption, without false accusations, without intimidation, and without the threat of police, especially when they have committed no crime or disruption.

I kept wondering whether the police were professional, because they knew me and what would have occurred had they not known me. While we waited, I texted the other three ladies who had left. I let them know that the police were called, and they became so upset they wanted to return for fear of what could happen.

With the long history of how police interact with African Americans, businesses know, or should know, that when they call the police they are inviting them to arrest the person, which could also lead to injury or death.

This situation was not as bad as the recent arrest of two Black men at a Starbucks in Philadelphia, because we were not arrested nor was it as bad as the incident involving a 25-year-old Black woman at a Waffle House in Saraland, Ala., because police did not assault us. However, it is similar to them in that businesses are us-

ing the police as their personal complaint department and as enforcers without repercussion or accountability. Police must turn away once they learn that the matter is not criminal, but civil. Law enforcement policies and practices must change. Police must enforce laws against these businesses and their owners who file false complaints.

Legislators must act to hold businesses accountable. Patrons and the community must stand up in the midst of these situations, instead of being passive observers or actively trying to concoct legitimate reasons for the mistreatment of Black patrons, when they are nonexistent. See something, say something. I commend the men who publicly spoke out for us. I am thankful for the public outcry of support.

We, as African Americans, just want to live.

Some wanted a place to meet, others wanted utensils for their meal, others wanted to exercise, and we simply wanted to golf. We demand the freedom to frequent businesses, to use services, to ask questions, and, yes, to even complain without the fear of being arrested, beaten or shot.

The irrational fears of some White people should not be our problem and should not interfere with our quality of life. We will not stand idle or remain silent while our freedoms and lives are devalued and threatened. Despite the attempted movement to take us back to a time of second-class citizenry, we will not return. We will maintain the shout, “Forward Ever, Backward Never!” for ourselves and our brethren of other races, colors, nationalities, religion and of other protected classes. Only together will we make positive change.

Black Panther” Chadwick Boseman Returns to Howard University for 2018 Commencement Address

By Lauren Poteat (NNPA Newswire Contributor)

A

Frederick recalled “how Boseman and his classmates advocated and participated in a three-day protest against the university to dismiss an initiative to transition the College of Fine Arts into the Department of Fine Arts. The protest was unsuccessful in stopping the transition,” a press release about the president’s speech said.

With Boseman by his side, Dr. Frederick, “announced a campaign to re-establish the College of Fine Arts and launch an Endowed College of Fine Arts Award,” the press release said.

Dr. Frederick encouraged the graduates to “take risks” and “learn how to be wrong.”

“It is the best way to

learn and grow,” Dr. Frederick said. “Build a culture of generous listening so that others may be emboldened to take risks, too.”

According to school officials, during the 2018 commencement convocation, Howard University awarded 2,217 degrees, including 343 master’s degrees, and 90 Ph.Ds. Boseman called Howard University “a magical place” as he recalled the day that he met Muhammad Ali, as he walked across “The Yard.”

“I remember walking across this yard on what seemed to be a random day, my head down, lost in my own world of issues like many of you do, daily. And I raise my head…Muhammad Ali is walking towards me,” Boseman said. “Time

seemed to slow down, as his eyes locked on mine.

He then raised his fist into a quintessential guard and I was game to play along with him, to act as if I was a worthy opponent. What an honor to be challenged by ‘The Greatest of AllTime.’”

Boseman continued: “I walked away floating like a butterfly. I walked away, at that moment, amused at life, amused that no one would be able to believe that story, but me. That is the magic of this place [Howard University].

“Almost anything can happen here,” Boseman said before giving the crowd the official Howard salute (“H-U! U-Know!”).

Boseman also praised the students for their drive and perseverance in orga-

nizing the longest sit-in protest at Howard University’s administration building in the school’s history. Allegations of mismanagement in the school’s financial aid office sparked the protest, which lasted nearly two weeks in April.

“Everyday that you fought for, was not for yourself, but for those that come after you,” Boseman said.

Overcome with gratitude and excitement, Howard graduate Kyla Maupin, who received her degree in French, expressed her sentiments about Boseman’s speech.

“Hearing Chadwick speak was really inspiring,” Maupin said. “I really appreciated hearing about his struggles in the

beginning of his career; that was really inspiring for me.

Maupin added that she was proud to see a fellow Bison deliver the commencement address.

Closing out the high-energy ceremony, Boseman offered one last nugget of wisdom, urging graduates to find their purpose.

“Purpose is the essential element of you,” Boseman said. “It is the reason you are on the planet at this particular time in history. Your very existence is wrapped up in the things you are here to fulfill.”

Boseman continued: “Whatever you choose for a career path, remember the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.”

Harlem Community Newspapers | July 12. 2018

fter celebrating the success of back-to-back, global box office hits, Marvel’s “Black Panther” actor Chadwick Boseman, returned to his alma mater, Howard University, to deliver the school’s 2018 commencement convocation address.

In March, Marvel’s “Black Panther” became the highest-grossing superhero movie of all-time in the United States (not adjusted for inflation), when it surpassed the $623 million mark set by “The Avengers” in 2012, according to Variety.com.

Then, Boseman reprised his “Black Panther” role for “Avengers: Infinity War,” which is currently the fifth highest grossing movie of all-time.

Championing his own personal experiences during his time studying at the prestigious, historically Black university, Boseman urged proud degree recipients, to press forward, to hold up their heads and to never fear rejection.

“I can think of no better place to be right now, after the ‘Black Panther’ and ‘Avengers’ campaigns, then to return and participate in these graduation ceremonies with you,” Boseman told the graduates. “It is a great privilege, graduates, to address you on your day, a day that will be one of the most important accomplishments of your life to date.”

4 Tips for Paying for College While Saving for Retirement (Statepoint)

S

Harlem Community Newspapers | July 12. 2018

aving for retirement and college simultaneously is a balancing act that many families face. However, experts say these goals don’t have to be in competition with each other. To manage both priorities, consider the following tips.

• Get started now: “Your greatest asset is time,” says Mark Kantrowitz, bestselling author and financial expert, who points out that every dollar you save is approximately a dollar less you’ll have to borrow, and every dollar you borrow will cost about two dollars by the time you repay the debt.

“By saving money, you literally save money.”

Make saving for both college and retirement a given with automatic monthly transfers from your bank account to your different savings plans.

• Don’t mix apples and oranges: Don’t use your retirement plan as a college savings fund. Distributions from retirement plans, even a tax-free return of contributions from a Roth IRA, count as income on financial aid application

forms.

Save for college using a 529 college savings plan, which according to savingforcollege.com, offers tax and financial aid advantages not available for other savings methods. Like a Roth IRA,

with a 529 you invest after-tax dollars, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, and qualified distributions to pay for college costs are entirely tax free. But 529 plans can be treated more favorably by financial aid formulas.

• Follow formulas: Maximize the employer match on contributions to your retirement plan. That’s free money, so take advantage of it. As a general rule, Kantrowitz recommends saving one-fifth of your income for the last fifth of your life.

As far as college is concerned, he says to use the one-third rule to split future college costs: one third from savings, one third from current income and one third from loans.

• Look at all funding sources: If scholarships, grants and federal loans in the student’s name fall short, consider private student loans or a private parent loan. For simple, personalized loan options, check out specialists in the industry, such as College Ave Student Loans. Using technology and expertise, they offer competitive rates, a wide range

of repayment options and a customer-friendly experience from application through repayment.

Financial industry veteran Joe DePaulo, CEO and co-founder of College Ave Student Loans says that keeping your child involved in college cost discussions is critical to avoid becoming the bank of Mom and Dad, and that parents can be very influential in setting up a student for longterm financial success. “As a general rule of thumb, students shouldn’t borrow more than what he or she expects to earn their first year out of school,” he says.

A college education is invaluable, and with smart strategies, parents won’t have to compromise their financial future to fund it.

How New Technology is Helping Children Cope with Cancer (Statepoint)

O

ne of the toughest aspects of managing cancer in children is communicating with young patients, say parents and healthcare experts.

“There were many times when my daughter did not want to talk or communicate her feelings,” says Joycelynn Sanchez of now 6-yearold Jiani, who at age 3, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

“She grew tired of the pokes and the questions and would become withdrawn.”

Fortunately, many parents and doctors are finding that new technology can help young patients like Jiani better communicate their feelings and

manage their condition.

For example, My Special Aflac Duck, a creation of Aflac, an insurance industry leader, and Sproutel, a research and development workshop, is an award-winning smart companion that nuzzles, quacks and dances with the lifelike movement of a real duckling. While entertaining, it’s not a toy.

It’s specifically designed to help comfort, teach and empower young patients as they go through their journey with cancer, reflecting the belief that children need more than medicine to cope with the stress and loneliness that often come with their disease.

“On average, childhood cancer treatment lasts more than 1,000 days,” says Aar-

New comforting technology can help young cancer patients communicate their feelings to parents and doctors.

on Horowitz, CEO and co-founder of Sproutel.

“We thought there must be a way to help alleviate

some of the burden.”

Using the new companion technology, children can communicate

their emotions by tapping colorful emoji cards to a sensor on the duck’s chest. Tap an emoji with a happy expression and it responds with delighted quacking. Choose the sad face and it lowers its head and sighs. Children can mirror their care routines through a compatible web-based app, including medical play and feeding and bathing their duck via augmented reality. It also dances, quacks, and nuzzles to help distract and calm them. Its exterior can even be removed, washed and sanitized.

Creation of the comforting companion is an extension of Aflac’s 22year, $122 million commitment to childhood cancer causes. Their goal is to provide this feath-

ered friend free of charge to all newly diagnosed children, nearly 16,000 each year according to the National Cancer Institute. Distribution, targeted to begin this coming winter, will be through hospitals, and the robotic duck will not be for general consumer sale.

Jiani’s treatment, which lasted three years and included various chemotherapies, as well as countless spinal taps and antibiotics, was completed in December 2017.

“There were some tough times, but through it all, she was a champion,” says Sanchez. “Knowing tough times for other children with cancer may be made a little easier with the help of technology makes me very happy.”

Friday the 13th

T

his is not the first time I am writing about the misunderstanding of Friday the 13th. After a recent conversation with a friend I relegalized that many people still considered it to be a day of misfortune and bad luck?

My good friend Lloyd Strayhorn is one of the most learned African American numerologists in the world. When I have questions about numbers I consult him.

In Ancient Kemet the number 13 was a symbol

of power. Lloyd writes “the ancients described 13 as a “symbol of power, which if wrongly used, wreaks destruction upon itself” “He who understands the number 13 will be given power and dominion”. Until very recently the wisdom and philosophical thoughts of ancient Kemet were keep secret from the masses.

The political power of religion made the study and/or practice of the knowledge and Mysticism of ancient Kemet a crime against the church.

It took 359 years for the Catholic Church on November 1, 1992 to admit that Galileo Galilei was not guilty of heresy for his belief that the earth and all other planets revolve

URBANOLOGY

by William A Rogers

around the Sun. Pope John Paul II acknowledged in a speech that “the church would rectify the wrong.”

This was a major reason only members of secret societies had access to ancient Kemet wisdom.

Galileo was influenced by Nicolaus Copernicus who was influenced by Aristarchus of Samos a Greek astrologer who studied in ancient Kemet centuries earlier during the time of Alexander.

Major figures in the development of the symbolism and philosophy of the new American government, leaders like Benjamin Franklyn, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington were members of secret societies they were either

Masons or Rosicrucian.

While being slave holders, the founding fathers built the symbolic foundation of the new government based on the number 13 using the ancient Kemetic wisdom and power attached to that number.

The number13 is used thirteen times on the United States Seal. There are 13 stars, 13 strips, 13 arrows, 13 berries and 13 letters in the words on the seal. The Kemet pyramid on the one-dollar bill has 13 blocks; the eagle on the other side is holding 13 arrows the United State started with 13 colonies, there were 13 signers of the Declaration of Independence and the corner stone of the first White House was laid

Answers to Puzzle on page 20

on the 13th of October 1792 as part of a Masonic ceremony. Thirteen was viewed as a number of power in the mystery schools of ancient Kemet it is also recognized as a number of transformation. July 4th is Independence Day 1 + 3 = 4.

The true understanding and interpretation of the death figure on the 13th Tarot card symbolically did not mean a physical death or misfortune but a death to an old way of life and way of thinking; a change for the better a time of transformation.

The founding fathers understood the symbolic power of the number 13. I hope you look at the number 13 in a different way now; especially those who expressed an anxiety coming to our Ki wellness Center located at 13 West 122nd Street.

he active components in rosemary are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic in nature. This represents a three-pronged attack against many different diseases and pathogens that could threaten the immune system or damage the integrity of the body.

The health benefits of rosemary come from the presence of vitamin A, with its free radical-antioxidant properties. Rosemary also promotes healthy skin, strengthens vision, fights infection, and gives us great protection from lung and mouth cancers.

Rosemary contains substances that are useful for stimulating the immune system, increasing circulation,

and improving digestion.

Rosemary also contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may make it useful for reducing the severity of asthma attacks. In addition, rosemary has been shown to increase the blood flow to the head and brain, improving concentration.

Rosemary has been linked to lower levels of cirrhosis and a faster healing time of the liver, which is one of the slowest organs to heal.

It also reduces plasma liver enzymes, which may cause type-2 diabetes. Carnosol prevents liver tissue distortion. It also prevents depletion of liver glycogen, the energy storage molecules.

Carnosol in rosemary balances androgen and es-

trogen hormones in the body.

It also lowers DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone, which helps improve prostate health and enhance hair growth. . . .

THE ADAMS REPORT© CELEBRATE!

By Audrey Adams

T

his week why not consider celebrating the fourth and the rest of the summer in a different way— How about declaring and reaffirming your personal independence instead, by taking this time to celebrate all of the successes in your life. Can’t think of any? Nonsense! There are a million reasons to

celebrate you. I’m talking about really appreciating who you are at whatever point you have arrived at in your life. And yes, it is hard to realize just how far you have come sometimes. Realizing that you still have quite a way to go is a plus. There are always reasons though, to find something to celebrate. Use a celebration as a reminder of a significant achievement; but what qualifies as a significant achievement in your life is up to you.

Make the decision to be determined to be the independent spirit that you are by laying claim to your right to be. So, if you are having difficulty coming up with reasons to celebrate, here’s a start

. . .

Celebrate the spirit of your ancestor’s; this country was built on their backs. Celebrate your strength in the face of adversity. Celebrate your new job or your entrepreneurial spirit.

Celebrate your sobriety.

Celebrate the purchase of home. Celebrate earning your GED. Celebrate graduating from high school. Celebrate your acceptance to college.

Celebrate graduating from college. Celebrate all the people who helped you attend school. Celebrate your good health.

Celebrate your determination to improve your health. Celebrate all the highs and lows in your life. Celebrate the possi-

bility of improving your life. Celebrate your loved ones. Celebrate your capacity to love and be loved. Celebrate your newfound ability to . . . do anything. Celebrate your intention to learn to . . . do something new.

Celebrate expanding your horizons. Celebrate the contributions you make to improve life for others. Celebrate your uniqueness.

Celebrate your attributes. Celebrate your strengths. Celebrate your resolve to overcome your weaknesses. Celebrate your talents. Celebrate your relationships.

Celebrate your friendships. Okay . . . Celebrate your weight loss. Celebrate your love of exercise. Celebrate making

the decision to love and honor yourself. Celebrate sticking to that decision.

Celebrate saving money.

Celebrate investing that money wisely. Celebrate your dreams. Celebrate your aspirations. Celebrate you. Celebrate your appreciation for all that you are. Celebrate your appreciation for all that you can become. Create and wave your flag!

Celebrate your life! This country would not be great without you. Why? Because it takes all of “you.” Celebrate your independence! Think about it. See you next week.

Game Changers: The Story of Venus and Serena Williams

by Lesa Cline-Ransome, illustrated by James E. Ransome

REVIEW by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor

T

hose are the rules.

Every game has them, and rules are mostly helpful. They make it clear how to play and who can win – although sometimes, they don’t make any sense. Sometimes, they’re downright dumb and in “Game Changers” by Lesa Cline-Ransome, illustrated by James E. Ransome, those rules are made to be grand-slammed.

Serena and Venus Williams were about a yearand-a-half apart in age but were “as close as two sisters could be.” Wherever you’d find Serena, you’d find Venus. Where Venus was, there was Serena – es-

pecially on the tennis court.

Before the sun was up most days, the Williams girls were awake and standing on the court in their Compton neighborhood, getting rid of trash and broken glass so they could practice their serves and backhands. People laughed at their father, Richard, because he believed that his youngest daughters could get themselves out of

Compton , but he held fast to the dream.

When most kids were outside playing, Venus and Serena would practice.

When they weren’t practicing with “secondhand” equipment, they ran laps and took ballet lessons.

They also had to learn to drop to the ground quickly because of gangs and gun violence in their neighborhood.

But that all paid off when, by age ten, Venus won “every single one of her sixty-three junior tournaments” and Serena was “not far behind.” At fourteen, Venus played professionally. A year later, Sere-

as everyone else, just as she still does today.

For a child – especially one who’s laser-focused on a sport or a dream – there are few books out there that are as inspirational as “Game Changers.” Just be aware of the age of said child before you give this book.

Truly, there’s no mistaking the message inside here. Author Lesa Cline-Ransome makes it clear that the Williams sisters’ determination was how they got where they are, and the afterword fills in a lot of blanks. That’s great, if you’re an adult or older child so beware: don’t let the illustrations – colorful, wonderful artwork by James E. Ransome

– fool you. See them, and you might think this is a book for smaller children but really, it’s more for bigger kids.

Even so, with the right approach, the message will sink in so let this book grow with your preschooler while your grade-schooler absorbs it now. For kids who love tennis or need a stick-to-it-iveness reminder, “Game Changers” is a great match.

na did the same thing.

Fans were astounded at the girls’ talents but some people were upset when they saw two Black girls in what had been “a nearly all-white sport.” Venus and Serena’s father had anticipated that, though: years before, he hired kids from the neighborhood to yell every nasty thing they could think of and his daughters learned to ignore them.

In 1998, the Williams sisters faced one another for the first time, but it wouldn’t be the last. It didn’t matter then that Venus won – Serena’s time would come and when it was her turn to beat her sister, Venus cheered as loud

Must-Know Health Tips for Summer Vacation (Statepoint)

M

ore than half of Americans are planning to take a vacation this summer, according to a Bankrate survey. While these excursions are meant to be fun and relaxing, road trips and long flights can lead to health risks that you know about, like jet lag, and some you may not be familiar with, such as leg swelling and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Experts advise travelers to take precautions for a healthy travel experience.

“Most people are familiar with jet lag, but even if you’re sitting in a car for a long time, you’re at risk for

other conditions like edema, which can cause painful leg swelling,” says nationally renowned natural health physician and best-selling author, Dr. Fred Pescatore.

“Luckily, there are simple steps you can take to avoid these issues.”

For a healthy, relaxing vacation, Dr. Pescatore is sharing his favorite travel tips.

Power Nap Flying or driving to a new time zone can throw off your internal clock, causing jet lag and making it harder to sleep.

“Take 15 to 20-minute power naps if you’re heading to a different time zone.

Quick naps when your body

naturally feels tired offers you some rest, but won’t leave you wide awake at bedtime,” says Dr. Pescatore.

Take Fitness Breaks Cramped up in a car or plane for long periods of time can cause swelling and fluid accumulation in the lower legs, known as edema, which is a major risk factor for developing a potentially life-threatening blood clot known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

Each year, as many as 900,000 Americans are affected by DVT, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and studies published in

Or, be someone who brakes for animals -- animal volunteer opportunities that is. Many animal sanctuaries welcome vacationing volunteers to provide extra hands. From socializing dogs to feeding horses, cer-

tain opportunities even include lodging to those giving their time.

By giving back to the places you visit, you can take the concept of the ultimate summer road trip to new heights.

Minerva Medica show that 10 percent of long-haul air passengers are at risk. Dr. Pescatore recommends taking frequent breaks to walk around and stretch in order to avoid these conditions.

lief organization dedicated to fighting domestic hunger through a network of food banks. In 2016, rally participants raised enough money to provide 1,301,969 meals to families in need, and this year’s goal is over 2 million meals. Occurring July 14 – 22 this year, MINI Takes the States will see owners kick off in either Orlando, Fla. or Portland, Ore. and converge in Colorado, passing through some of America’s

most interesting and beautiful sites and cities.

A portion of each registration fee is donated to Feeding America and participants are encouraged to start fundraising pages online and spread the word to friends and family to contribute to the cause. Each dollar raised will provide at least 10 meals to people in the U.S. struggling with hunger. To learn more, visit MINITakesTheStates.com

After traveling to your favorite park, join a volunteer crew to build or maintain a trail, increasing accessibility to America’s most beautiful natural wonders.

For some inspiration, check out these great ways Americans are rethinking vacations to include a touch of philanthropy.

Driving for Good All those miles you log on the road can be for a good cause, if you look in the right places. Check out organizations and brands hosting fun fundraising or volunteer events on the road.

Try a Natural Supplement A new peer-reviewed clinical study shows that supplementing with the natural super-antioxidant, Pycnogenol (pronounced

pic-noj-en-all), can help reduce edema and relieve jet lag symptoms during longhaul travel.

“This research is exciting news for those looking for a safe, effective healthy travel option,” Dr. Pescatore says.

Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients on the market, with decades of studies showing its benefits for a variety of health applications. It’s available in more than 700 dietary supplements, multi-vitamins and health products worldwide. For more information, visit pycnogenol. com.
