Some ideas for a better 2016 E ED DI IT TO OR RI IA AL L York City, just not as robust as it was in the previous two years.

While we have experienced some challenges during 2016, several New York City small businesses have been reporting improved performances in sales and operations.

Restaurants, beauty salons, nightclubs, supermarkets and other retail outlets are reporting moderate, but encouraging signs of progress.

We are also very proud of the performance of Street Hype during the past year as our advertising and circulation continue to grow in keeping with the demand for the paper.

The support of our advertisers and readers has been tremendous. We will continue to carry the toughest news on legal and political matters. We reflected and highlighted the news and views of ordinary people.

However, there is always room for improvement as we seek to grow our business and to take care of ourselves.

ith only a few weeks to go before 2016 comes to an end, we are evaluating the past while making plans for another 12-months.

This is indeed a period of self-evaluation, reflections and the making our New Year’s resolutions.

The economy of New York City continues to be the largest regional economy in the United States. The financial, insurance, health care, and real estate industries form the basis of New York's economy.

The economic outlook for job seekers in New York has been lackluster at best for the past few years.

In terms of job growth, New York City has outperformed the United States and the rest of New York State, as well as its neighbors Connecticut and New Jersey, in recovering from the Great Recession of 2008. It may not seem that way as job growth has slowed lately, but 2016 has seen positive job growth in New

This is the time to dump those customers and friends who are always negative and never contribute anything to make your life or your business better.

On-the-other-hand, we are looking forward to Donald Trump’s presidency. In his victory speech he promised to focus on economic growth when he is sworn in next January. "We have a great economic plan," he said.

However, economists generally have feared that Trump's spending stimulus and tax cuts would increase the national debt by $5 trillion or more.

They also believe his fiery rhetoric about currency manipulation and tariffs could spark a trade war.

We are however, optimistic and hope that President Trump will provide the best environment for business to grow.

On a final note, in keeping with the “New Year's resolutions,” let us focus on a few issues that would require our personal attention and discipline.

For example, manage your weight, stop smoking, eat right and exercise frequently.

These could be among the most important steps to a happier and healthier you in 2017!

We wish all our readers, advertisers and friends a merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Mount Vernon implements its winter snow removal plan

Broadcaster T Pat Bailey Died

The late Ellen “Pat” Bailey and her husband Gil of the “Gil and Pat Bailey Show” New York’s longest running Jamaican radio program. Pat died on December 12, 2016 at age 77.

R

By Sharon Gordon Contributing Writer enowned radio co-producer and talk show host, Ellen “Pat” Bailey of New York’s longest running Jamaican radio program, the “Gil and Pat Bailey Show” died peacefully at home in Long Island, New York, on Monday, December 12th, 2016 at age 77.

Her death came after suffering from a stroke on December 5, 2015 while broadcasting her popular “Let’s Hear It” segment on WPAT, 930AM. Bailey, was an icon in the Caribbean media community where she and her husband, the “Godfather of Reggae” Gil Bailey, entertained millions in the US and around the world for over 46 years.

In recounting his first radio broadcast on WHBI in 1970, Gil remembers Pat giving him his first punch line, “My name is Gil Bailey, the hit maker from Jamaica. I am tall and handsome and full of fame!”

He credits her for being “the tower of strength behind the show’s success” and for “its reach and longevity.” He said, "Words cannot express how heart broken he is as they have been inseparable since 1968."

Many within the Caribbean community are in mourning for their beloved Pat, whose voice and charisma will be greatly missed from the airwaves. Pat was passionate about promoting local business who supported the Gil and Pat Bailey Show and was a true ambassador of Jamaican culture and folklore.

Since its inception, the Gil and Pat Bailey show, has been the launching pad for the careers of many reggae, dancehall,

calypso, soca and gospel artists.

The same can be said about the careers of many Jamaican Diaspora media personalities and producers including Janice Julian, whose distinguished voice is synonymous with the weekly news; Sharon Gordon, journalist; co-founder and chair, Coalition to Preserve Reggae; DJ Roy and Irwine Clare of Irie Jam Media; Nathaniel "Twin Thumb" Baker of Twin Thumb Promotions; Noel “Dancemaster” Stevens; Sharon Goldbourne long time program director and co-host and many others throughout the years.

Over the year the enterprising Pat Bailey was known for her many business ventures including, The Gil and Pat Bailey Record Store in the Bronx which eventually moved to Brooklyn; her pioneering efforts as an independent juke box and arcade game distributor; JoJo Shipping and her favorite, Yaad and Farrin Jamaican Grocery Store, as well as managing the properties they owned. Pat along with her husband were avid promoters of reggae and gospel shows and numerous boat rides.

She is survived by her husband Gil, 5 children, 2 step children, grand and great grand children and other relatives and friends.

The viewing and funeral service for Pat Bailey will be on Thursday, December 22nd from 5pm to 9pm at New Jerusalem Worship Center, 122-05 Smith Street, New York, 11434. Burial will be on Friday, December 23rd, at 10am.

Flowers should be sent to J. Foster Phillips Funeral Home 179-24 Linden Blvd., Jamaica, New York, 11434.

Mount Vernon snow removal truck

he City of Mount Vernon is putting in place its winter snow plan including significant steps the city must take to improve operations and supplement equipment in preparation for a blizzard when one arrives.

According to Mayor Richard Thomas, “We are actively investigating the acquisition of a snow melter and have ordered GPS trackers to be placed on the plows so we, and you, can monitor your government at work.”

The Mayor says the Department of Public Works needs new equipment and investments in technology to supplement the operations. “It concerns me that my colleagues in government don't share this view,” he adds.

Last month, Comptroller Maureen Walker and City Council President Marcus Griffith voted no on the proposed budget that would have boosted DPW's operations.

Instead, they said the plan that they offered for the city was "adequate."

Thomas further explains that “the city cannot respond efficiently to a snowstorm when equipment is broken and parts are unavailable due to the age of the trucks. You can't get to the streets fast enough when the department is understaffed and one employee has to do the work of three or four.”

The Mayor promises to continue to work hard, “to do more with less, and give the people of Mount Vernon our best efforts.”

NY hedge fund Founder, 6 others arrested in Federal fraud case ---------------------------

T

NEW YORK NY: he founder of the hedge fund that invested pension money for former Correction Officers' Benevolent Association president Norman Seabrook and six others were arrested in a federal fraud indictment to be unsealed Monday.

Platinum Partners, which specializes in exotic investments such as loans to struggling companies, was linked to about $1 billion in fraud by federal prosecutors.

A fund founder, Mark Nordlicht, was arrested, along with David Levy, the cochief investment officer, and Uri Landesman, a former president of the firm's signature fund.

U.S. Attorney Robert Capers will hold an 11:30 a.m. news conference in Lower Manhattan to discuss the arrests.

Brooklyn businessman Jona Rechnitz was previously accused of referring Seabrook to Platinum Partners to invest $20 million of the union's money.

Another one of Platinum's founders, Murray Huberfeld, was previously charged in the Seabrook probe.

Seabrook stepped down as head of the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association in June when he was arrested on charges of steering the union's pension money to Platinum Partners in 2014.

QUEENS: uis Rodriguez, 45, of Freeport, Long Island, a former volleyball coach at Richmond Hill High School and attendance teacher has been convicted of attempted use of a child in a sexual performance and other charges for engaging in sexually explicit communications with a fifteen-year- old member of the volleyball team from October 2014, through November 2014.

Following an eight-day trial before Queens Supreme Court Justice Ira Margulis, a jury on Dec 12 also found the defendant guilty of attempted use of a child in a sexual performance, first-degree disseminating indecent material to minors and endangering the welfare of a child. Rodriguez was remanded into custody following the conviction. He is scheduled to be sentenced on January 12, 2017, at which time he faces up to seven years in prison.

BRONX: high-ranking Bronx cop has been relieved of his duties over allegations he engaged in unwanted sexual behavior with a female subordinate inside his office.

US Attorney to Investigate College of New Rochelle's Financial Crisis

NEW ROCHELLE: he U.S. Attorney’s office will be investigating the financial troubles of the College of New Rochelle.

That information was revealed by college officials in a meeting Thursday with faculty and staff, according to a local newsapaper.

The college’s interim president, Dorothy Escribano, said information and annual budgets supplied to board members was fabricated by the prior controller.

President Judith Huntington stepped down in October as the financial crisis was unfolding. A month later preliminary inquiries into the finances found that around $20 million in payroll taxes were not paid for eight quarters, starting in 2014.

College officials have said that significant cost-cutting will be required to keep the doors of the institution open.

An anonymous donation of $5 million was announced Wednesday. An additional $1.5 million has been collected through the institution’s “We Are CNR” fundraising campaign. a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara would not deny or confirm an investigation was taking place.

Obama Makes US–Caribbean Strategic Engagement Act Law

W Congresswoman Clarke Calls on Obama to Pardon Marcus Garvey

C

Brooklyn: ongresswoman Yvette D. Clarke recently released the following statement on a letter she and seventeen other members of the House of Representatives sent to President Obama calling on him to pardon civil rights leader Marcus Garvey.

“Marcus Garvey, born in Saint Ann's Bay, Jamaica, has inspired generations of leaders, from the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to President Nelson Mandela. His efforts to organize the African Diaspora across nations in support of freedom and self-determination were critical to the movements for independence in Africa and the Caribbean and to the Civil Rights Movement here in the United States. When Marcus Garvey formed the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, most of the nations of the Caribbean were colonies of the British Empire, and African Americans in the United States – nearly forty years after the end of the Civil War – were effectively denied their human rights. Marcus Garvey offered to his people a different vision for the future and, even as we continue to work toward his dream, he would have been proud to witness our achievements.

“Despite that legacy, however, Marcus Garvey has never been fully exonerated from racially-motivated charges of mail fraud.

Recognizing that prosecutors and the government mishandled the case, President Calvin Coolidge commuted the sentence at the earliest possible opportunity. We believe that Marcus Garvey meets the criteria for a posthumous pardon, based on his efforts to secure the rights of people of African descent and the utter lack of merit to the charges on which he was convicted. We ask therefore that President Obama work with the Department of Justice to secure a pardon for this man of accomplishment and high distinction.”

By NAN Contributor/News Americas ith a simple stroke of his pen, U.S. President Barack Obama last week, December 16, 2016, made the United States– Caribbean Strategic Engagement Act of 2016 law.

The bill was among several the President made law Friday ahead of Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.

The United States-Caribbean Strategic Engagement Act (H.R. 4939) law, calls for an increase engagement of the US with the governments of the Caribbean region, the Caribbean Diaspora community in the United States and the private sector and civil society in both the United States and the Caribbean.

It also calls for The Department of State shall submit to Congress a multi-year strategy for U.S. engagement with the Caribbean region that: • identifies State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) efforts to prioritize U.S. policy towards the Caribbean region; • boadens State Department and USAID outreach to the Caribbean Diaspora community in the United States to promote their involvement in Caribbean economic development and citizen security; • outlines an approach to partner with Caribbean governments to improve citizen security, reduce illicit drug trafficking, strengthen the rule of law, and improve the effectiveness of the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI);

Deportation of Haitians from US resumed

President Barack Obama • encourages efforts of the region to implement regional and national strategies that improve Caribbean energy security; • improves diplomatic engagement with Caribbean governments; and assists Caribbean countries in diversifying their economies, reducing free trade and investment barriers, and supporting the training and employment of persons in marginalized communities.

The law also urges The State Department shall annually brief the appropriate congressional committees on efforts to implement such strategy and calls for the President to report within one year and biennially thereafter for four years on progress made in implement-

Several CARICOM countries failing to honour skills certificates

F

GEORGETOWN, Guyana: or those who had thought that any Guyanese citizen with an officially issued Caribbean Community (CARICOM) skills certificate can just roll into any CARICOM country and seek employment after showing the document to authorities will certainly have to think again.

This is because several CARICOM countries are technically refusing to honour the intent of the certificate by demanding that, notwithstanding the document, an application for a work permit must be made and the supporting qualifying evidence must be presented, regardless of the presumably verified particulars of a certificate holder’s credentials that are already established on that document.

According to immigration officials in a handful of CARICOM countries including Barbados, Grenada and The Bahamas among others, Guyanese nationals would not be able to take up employment in their respective territory unless they go through the already established work permit application process.

For them, possession of the CARICOM skills certificate will not make much of a difference for any skilled category of employment, except for some areas such as short term entertainment related jobs, brief journalism assignments, or short term cultural projects.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti: he deportation of Haitians to their home country from the US has been resumed, despite the post-Hurricane Matthew recovery situation and the more recent floods in Haiti.

Inspector Gary Desrosiers, deputy spokesman of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) in charge of welcoming the deportees on their return to Haiti, confirmed the resumption of such flights. The first flight arrived last Thursday in Port-au-Prince with 30 Haitians on board and another flight arrived on Tuesday of this week with 40 other deportees.

Desrosiers said the Haitians were subject to removal proceedings after illegally entering the US and subsequently jailed, HaitiLibre reported.

Pierre Espérance, the executive director of the National Network for the Defence of Human Rights (RNDDH), noted, "These are not deported criminals, but people who went to Brazil and crossed from Mexico to San Diego, California."

Describing the resumption of these deportations as unacceptable, he added, "…the US Government did not show solidarity with Haiti… the country is in an extremely complicated situation. You have a hurricane, continuous floods, elections coming and the public treasury bankrupt... this is not the time to start repatriating people."

JAAA defends abstention at IAAF Congress

T

Kingston, Jamaica WI: he Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) has once again defended its refusal to back Sebastian Coe's proposed constitutional changes at the IAAF's Special Congress in Monte Carlo on December 3.

The reforms, called "time for change" and aimed at changing how the IAAF operates following a major corruption scandal, were overwhelmingly passed at the congress two weeks ago, after members voted 182-10 in favour.

The JAAA in a press release issued late Friday night, reiterated what its president Dr Warren Blake told RJR Sports a week ago that they chose not to vote because they were presented en masse as 15 proposals under one umbrella, which would be introduced at the start of 2017 and 2019.

The local governing body said "this in itself was unprecedented", adding that they knew of no other time in the 104-year history of the IAAF that federations had to vote for a series of proposals as a unit.

Jamaica and Ukraine were among the countries who either voted against the proposals or abstained.

Particular concerns to the JAAA was the decision to alter the composition of the IAAF ruling council to reflect gender balance and the proposal to remove the current age limit of 70 years old, which was only agreed in the 2015 constitution, without any discussion.

The JAAA also claimed that the IAAF council’s executive board would be drastically changed without full discussion among member federations.

Man charged with murder in T death of Tyson Gay’s daughter

A

LOS ANGELES, United States: man was indicted this week on a charge of wanton murder in the October death of US Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay’s daughter Trinity, police in Lexington, Kentucky, said last week.

Trinity Gay, 15, died in the early hours of October 16 after she was caught in the crossfire of a shoot-out between individuals in two cars in a restaurant parking lot in Lexington.

A grand jury indicted Chazarae M Taylor of one count of wanton murder and four counts of wanton endangerment “for his role in creating the environment that ultimately led to the death of 15-year-old Trinity Gay”, police said in a statement.

Taylor’s 19-year-old son D’markeo C Taylor was indicted on one count of wanton endangerment, and 20-year-old Lamonte Williams was indicted on four counts of wanton endangerment.

All three had been identified and charged by police investigating the case, as was 21year-old Dvonta Middlebrooks.

The grand jury’s indictment of Chazarae Taylor was the first homicide charge in the case.

Trinity Gay was a sophomore sprint star at Lafayette High School, where her father once ran. She was a fourth-generation sprinter who placed fourth in last year’s Girls’ 100m state final.

By NAN ET Editor/News Americas hree bands, two singers and a duo have all been nominated for the 2017 Reggae Grammy of the year. Here are the six who will be competing for the top honors on Feb. 12, 2017: J Boog has American Samoan roots. He was born Jerry Afemata in Long Beach, California but raised in Compton, California. His father serves as chief of the family village in Alao, Samoa.

Afemata was the youngest of eight other siblings – seven brothers and a sister. He got the nickname “Boog” from his brothers, in reference to his inability while young to sit still.

He has been on the reggae scene since 2007 when he released his first solo album ‘Hear Me Roar’ which peaked on Billboard’s Top Reggae Albums chart at #8. His music is considered reggae tinged with R&B, ska and lover’s rock. Since then he has released four other albums including Rose Petals, for which he earned the Grammy nomination.

Pele, Demar and Anthony Watson met while studying music at Kingston’s Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, under the tutelage of Ibo Cooper, former keyboardist with Third World. They joined forces with veteran guitarist Courtland “Gizmo” White and formed Inside Out in 2002 before changing their name to Raging Fyah in 2006.

Ziggy Marley

ziggy-marleyZiggy Marley, the eldest son of Bob Marley and Rita Marley, is no stranger to the Grammy’s. He has won seven already and is looking for his eighth with the selftitled album ‘Ziggy Marley.’ The album was released on May 20th through Tuff Gong Worldwide. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Ziggy, the new self-titled album marks his first release in 2 years, following 2014’s critically acclaimed Fly Rasta, which took home the 2015 GRAMMY award for Best Reggae Album. He also has a cook book out and just released a new dry herb vaporizer.

SOJA

sojaThe Virgina-based reggae band SOJA (Soldiers Of Jah Army) have also earned another Grammy nominee this year for ‘Soja Live in Virginia.’

The group was formed in 1997 and their music is currently produced under ATO Records. The eight-member band is made up of: Jacob Hemphill (lead vocals, guitar) Bobby Lee Jefferson (bass, vocals) Patrick O’Shea (keyboards) Ryan “Bird” Berty (drums) Ken Brownell (percussion) Hellman Escorcia (saxophone) Rafael Rodriguez (trumpet) Trevor Young (guitar, vocals) Rebelution rebelutionThe California band Rebelution is also competing for a Reggae Grammy for ‘Falling Into Place.’ The band has released 6 albums to date. The current members of Rebelution are: Eric Rachmany, Rory Carey, Marley D. Williams, and Wesley Finley. Each attended and graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Making a Difference through the Arts

CARMEN FARIÑA

NYC Schools Chancellor he arts can have an incredible impact on our kids’ lives, which is why when I became Chancellor, one of my goals was to ensure that every child in our City, regardless of their zip code or home language, has the opportunity to learn about and pursue the arts in a meaningful way.

As a matter of fact, this week, we released our Annual Arts Report, which shows the incredible progress we’ve made in providing dance, music, theatre, and visual arts teachers and programs across our City’s schools.

Having access to a quality arts education and a committed arts teacher is critical to our students’ success, which is why I am excited to announce that we have the most licensed arts teachers in 11 years and have substantially increased arts programming for English Language Learners and Students with Disabilities. Instrumental to this effort is the Arts Matter program, an initiative that partners nearby schools – mostly located in highneeds communities – to share one or two fulltime arts teachers.

This program provides ongoing professional development and one-on-one discipline-specific mentoring by experienced teachers as well as arts materials. This initiative stems from the administration’s additional $23 million annual investment in arts education.

As a result, New York City now has a record number of full-time certified arts teachers, a total of 2,757 in all pre-K-12 schools. Moreover, spending in the arts increased to $399 million in the 2015-16 school year from $367 million in the year

prior. Investments in the arts will improve academic outcomes for tens of thousands of our students. Also, the arts play a pivotal role in deepening the understanding and appreciation of other cultures and customs.

High-quality arts education teaches our students important skills and aligns to what

I am proud to see our City making great strides in expanding access to the arts as part of our commitment to equity and excellence for all students. These investments will continue to provide hands-on learning that will teach our kids camaraderie, how to revise, edit, rehearse, and think critically— all skills that will help them thrive in school and in life.

Support Children this Holiday Season

HOLIDAY • CHRISTMAS FEATURE

T

Family Features: he holidays are all about spreading generosity and kindness, so when searching for the perfect presents for everyone on your holiday shopping list, look for gifts that also benefit children in need around the world.

Gifts That Give Back From jewelry to accessories, home decor and children's toys, handcrafted products from UNICEF Market not only provide children with basic necessities such as lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water, emergency relief and more, but also support artists from Asia, Africa and Latin America. For the first time, UNICEF Market shoppers are invited to curate online gift collections for a chance to win a Smithsonian Journeys 10-day trip for two to Peru. Learn more at smithsonianjourneys.org.

Some lifesaving items can be purchased in honor of a loved one and go directly to help children in need in developing countries. Some examples of UNICEF Inspired Gifts include: * Therapeutic Food: A "miracle food," this peanut-based paste provides quick, lifesaving nourishment to 15 malnourished children for five days. * Measles Vaccinations: Measles is still a leading global cause of vaccine-preventable death and disability in children. For $30, this gift will provide vaccines for 80 children.

Additionally, the UNICEF Kid Power Band gives kids the power to get active and save lives. With the world's first wearable-forgood, kids go on missions to learn about new cultures and earn points.

Give the Gift of Donations

HOLIDAY • CHRISTMAS FEATURE

W

Family Features: ith the season of giving in full swing, try turning your attention away from gift giving in the traditional sense and instead focus on a whole different kind of giving.

Charitable giving comes in many forms, and there are numerous causes in nearly every community that accept donations of more than just money. In addition to giving back to those in need during one of the most critical times of the year, by donating time, money or material items you may reap positive benefits of your own, such as feeling better about yourself, instilling generosity and a sense of giving in your children or family members, or finding a cause that truly inspires you.

Give Money Vivid red kettles and the tinkling of jingle bells are icons of the holiday season. The kettles, which are found outside retail locations throughout communities nationwide and are staffed by both volunteer and paid bell ringers, are part of The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign, one of the country's oldest and largest charitable campaigns. Donations to The Salvation Army stay in the local community where the donation is made, and you can feel extra good about how your money is used within the organization; 82 cents of every dollar is used to support social services that fight hunger, provide shelter and ensure Christmas assistance for families in 5,000 communities nationwide.

Give Time During the holiday season and all year long, non-profit organizations thrive on the contributions of volunteers. If you have a special skill or service, check to see if the organization you favor could benefit from your expertise. Many other agencies offer ongoing training so you can easily learn what you need to know to contribute. Remember that the holiday season brings a spike in volunteering each year, so making a pledge to continue giving your time after the holidays have passed is truly the gift that keeps on giving.

Give Food Hunger is a problem that numerous nonprofit groups work to answer year-round, but the holiday season is a time when that need is pronounced. Giving non-perishable food items or donating money toward an organization that supplies food to those in need are important gestures. A hearty holiday meal is a special blessing for families of all sizes and circumstances, and a relatively meager donation can make a big difference for numerous families in need.

Five Simple Ways to Attract New Clients to Your Salon

Courtesy of .hji.co.uk uper-salon owner and author Hellen Ward offers her top tips on attracting and retaining clients.

Hellen says: “All too often, salon owners expect their team to attract new clients to their column, but don’t provide them with the strategies to do it. It’s down to the salon owner to create a bespoke marketing plan and promotional calendar to attract new clients. After this, the team come into play, growing, nurturing and developing the opportunity offered to them.

First, the salon owner needs to establish what type of new clients he/she is aiming for.

1. Define a new client Don’t forget a regular salon client who hasn’t experienced a service before is still generating new business to the salon, so upselling and link-selling are key. Figure out which of your salon’s existing services your customers aren’t having and create a treat-

ment plan and in-depth consultation to advise and recommend services they haven’t experienced before. If they’re loyal to you now, they’ll only become more loyal.

2. Tie-up with like-minded brands Every salon has the opportunity to tap into their area’s local businesses to offer a joint promotional activity. Don’t be tempted to discount en masse, but if you are near a large local employer offer incentives to its staff to visit on selected days with selected offers.

3. Present added-value introductory offers Rather than discounting to attract business try offering an incentive which adds value and targets a service area that needs building – for example, complimentary conditioning treatment with every pre-booked colour. Get your supplier to help with the cost where offers are product-related. Use window promotional material and in-salon marketing to help promote the service.

4. Get involved in local activities Bridal fayres, charity fundraisers, fêtes, recruitment evenings, school careers days, fashion shows – all of these enable you to spread the word and target specific clients who may be interested. Blanket discounting like Groupon usually just attracts the wrong types so ensure you do something discreet and bespoke that is delivered personally; perhaps email to addresses you’ve collected based on an expressed interest. This way you will preserve your publicised brand pricing.

5. Incentivise loyal clients to spread the word It may sound a bit archaic but recommend-a-friend schemes do work if they are positioned correctly. Maybe use some modern marketing terms to make it sound a little less ‘done to death’. Ensure both parties benefit and it’s promoted in-house and by the entire team.

Thief Steals Car With Kids Inside When Mom

PATERSON, NY carjacker allegedly stole a mother's keys as she walked into a New Jersey Wendy's Friday morning, then hopped into her car and drove off with her three children inside as she clung from the steering wheel in a desperate effort to save them, authorities said.

The woman was getting out of her car at the fast food restaurant in Paterson between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. when the carjacker jumped into the vehicle that also had three children -- ages 2, 4 and 5 -- inside, police say.

Police said the mother grabbed onto the steering wheel as the thief began to drive off and was dragged a short distance before the thief got away.

Police were called to the scene, and officers followed the car into neighboring Hawthorne. Officers said the carjacker ditched the car along with the children.

A few minutes later, the man was seen stealing an idling Acura MDX at a 7-Eleven.

Police later tracked down the vehicle at the Garden State Plaza mall and took the man into custody, officers said.

The owner of the Acura, Miguel Lora,

said that he left his car running because he was only going into the convenience store for a few minutes and it was cold outside. He said when he went back out, he was surprised to see his car missing. He looked around before

"I learned my lesson," Lora said, referencing leaving his car running and unattended.

It's not clear what charges the man will face. The children were physically unharmed in the ordeal and were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital to be reunited with their mother, who was being treated there for minor injuries.

Teen longs for a baby to fill her broken heart

18 • STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER • DEC 19-31, 2016 Dear Divine Diva: I am a girl who has had my heart broken for the first time. I know I should get over this boy, but I can't stop thinking about him. My mom loved him. We hung out every weekend for six months.

I thought I might have been pregnant.

I'm not -- but I want to be. I know I'm not ready to be a mom, but I want someone to love me and depend on me. I need someone who won't leave me. I know my baby wouldn't. Should I become a mom? How do I get over my boyfriend? Do I stop talk-

ing to him and just be his friend? Divine tell me the right way. -- Lovesick In The Bronx.

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

Dear Lovesick: Becoming a mother is not the way out of your heartache. Any young woman considering having a child must ask herself how she can provide financially and emotionally for that child. Most teenaged girls who become pregnant do not complete their high school education, and it has a negative impact on their ability to provide for themselves and their children.

The right way to work through this breakup is to talk to your mother or another trusted adult about your feelings. Stop try-

ing to maintain contact with your former boyfriend. To continue will only prolong your pain. Dedicate yourself to achieving the most you can for yourself in sports and academics. It will give you less time to brood, and the more you achieve the more sought-after you will become.

It won't happen overnight. It will take time, concentration and dedication. If you take my advice you will come out of this disappointment a much happier person.

But having a baby is not the answer.

-Always, Divine Diva

huge red flag. Some men who fear intimacy will cheat to feel like they still have power over their sex life, and some men cheat simply because they want someone “young and new”… Which leads to my next sign.

mony, ChristianMingle, or even Match. You updated your profile to proudly show you met a guy you love… and he didn’t update his profile. That could be a sign he’s still looking for someone else.

7. He Follows A *Lot* Of Sexy Women On Social Media Have you noticed him “liking” a lot of sexy pictures on his Facebook? What about who he watches on Instagram? If they’re mostly hot young women, you can probably guess what’s on his mind.

10. He Needs “His Privacy” You thought he was comfortable with you knowing more about him and being close to him, and suddenly he starts needing more and more time by himself. What could he even be doing with all of that time alone? That might be a sign he’s cheating on you.

Signs Your Man Might Be Cheating On You! Please send your questions and comments to: divinestreethype@gmail.com

1. He Is Using His Phone A Lot More (And Not For You) If he suddenly starts texting more often, but he still takes forever to reply to you… that may be a sign that he’s cheating. It doesn’t mean he is definitely cheating on you. He could just be having an important conversation…

2. He Suddenly Cares About His Hygiene You’ve known him long enough to know how he typically cares for himself. If he takes a sudden interest in how he looks, his physical health, and even starts showering more, who is he trying to impress? (Was he trying to impress you or someone else?)

3. He Goes Out More Whether he’s going out “with friends” or has something come up with family, this could be a red flag that he’s really seeing someone else.

6. He’s Selfish If your man is self-indulgent and puts himself before everything, never compromising with you, he could be the kind of guy to cheat, as infidelity is a selfish act on it’s own.

4. He Keeps Working Late Sudden work emergency? Big project that he didn’t tell you about in advance? If he starts working overtime and is hours on sporadic days of the week working late, he might not actually be working…

5. He Avoids Getting Close To You If you notice that your guy suddenly avoids intimacy with you (or stops entirely), that’s a

8. He Didn’t Update His Dating Profile (Even If You Started Dating Him) Maybe you met on Plenty of Fish, or eHar-

9. He Lashes Out At You If your guy starts arguments with you, especially if it’s over something simple, he could be looking for an excuse to get away from you and towards someone else…

If you have a gut instinct your guy is cheating on you, then that signals to me that you’re missing one crucial ingredient to a healthy, loving relationship: trust.

Brooklyn President Coping with type 2 diabetes

J

Courtesy of Erin Billups, NY1 ust six months ago Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams was diagnosed with type two diabetes. Since then he's transformed his life - mainly through diet - in an effort to cure himself of the chronic disease.

Through his own research and consultations with doctors, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams changed his lifestyle within a month of learning he had type two diabetes.

Evidence of the change is everywhere in his office. There's not a morsel of processed food in sight. Tables are now food prep stations - he cooks on a windowsill.

"Eighty percent of the food I eat I cook myself. I eat no oil at all. I eat no meat at all," Adams says.

He's now vegan and exercising more. He answers calls on a stationary bike and checks email on a makeshift standing desk, while using a Stairmaster.

"We can no longer exist separately, where, I'm gonna do my job but I don't have time to take care of my health. No, we'll make time," Adams says.

He's lost 30 pounds and he no longer needs medication.

Yet, reversing his diabetes was not an option initially presented to him by doctors.

"My recovery is an indictment on our healthcare system. The sole goal should have been, Eric we're going to get that reversed.

Not Eric we're going to give you the prescription that you need that you can take the rest of your life," Adams says.

Adams admits he has resources at his disposal that many do not but he says there are things that can be done.

An estimated $175 billion is spent annually in the U.S. on healthcare for diabetics.

Some of that, he says, should go toward helping diabetics to change their behavior.

"Why are we doing what we're doing?

Why am I drinking that Coca-Cola when I know it's killing me?" Adams says.

Adams is now declaring war against diabetes, through programs to improve the health of his community and through his mother - his next project.

"I want people to see her with her cane.

Her southern lifestyle of enjoying her fried chicken and cooking her pies and cakes. I want them to see how even she can transform her life," Adams says.

Highlighting the opportunities and challenges of local business

Family Features: t may seem that anyone with the guts to run their own small business should be able to master marketing with ease. And yet marketing strikes many small business owners with dread.

The small business sector could be stronger yet, if its representatives didn’t feel intimidated by the essential discipline of marketing, said Marcus Lemonis, entrepreneur and host of CNBC’s “The Profit.” Yet nearly 40 percent of respondents in The UPS Store’s survey agreed or strongly agreed that they feel “overwhelmed” by the challenge.

“Any business owner who can make a strong, persuasive pitch for the funding of their business can probably do the same for the products or services of that business,” Lemonis said.

To help small businesses transfer the skill of selling to funders to selling to customers, Lemonis offers the following tips: • Know your target customer. Just as you played to the interests and likings of your funders, you can do the same with potential customers through strategic marketing.

• Recognize that the keys to success for any small business are people, process and product. Those funding your business will want to know you have those three in order. If you do, your customers will be more confident in your business, too.

• Understand that people are the cornerstone of your business. Find the right people to make sure they’re marketing and selling your brand the way you would.

Mother and daughter getting sample image: Photo courtesy of Getty Images • Be vulnerable, be honest and communicate. This stands true for every aspect of your business, including developing the next steps of your marketing strategy. If you share your business or your brand’s story with a genuine approach, your success will increase.

These are things most small business owners can do. Yet there are also marketing processes and skills that many small business owners aren’t familiar with and need help from others to acquire.

Among those who can provide help are The UPS Store’s 4,500 locations across the nation. These stores are independently owned and operated, so store owners understand the challenge firsthand. Part of their mission is to help local startups, entrepreneurs and small businesses solve their problems, including marketing, printing, shipping and mailboxes.

“I encourage small business owners to find new ways to break down the marketing barrier and learn marketing processes that will attract new customers and grow their business,” Lemonis said.

Roughhouse connects with new single

DAWSON ROMOTIONS

“how was your day?”

alented musician, percussionist, producer and recording artist, Roughhouse continues to spread his message of peace, hopefulness and joy with his new single “How was your day?”

Roughhouse shares that his inspiration for this particular single came out of the simple observation of people greeting each other and not really engaging beyond the basic pleasantries.

Roughhouse hopes "How was your day?” will inspire everyone to spend some more time connecting with each other.

He released his first acoustic album in 2015 entitled “Take a look” followed by a personal reggae album “Peace and Inspiration” Roughhouse was born into a musical home in the parish of Manchester as his father Keith Powell Senior played guitar for legends like Bunny Wailer, Dennis Brown and We The People Band.

His father taught him to play the bass and he learned on his own the guitar. Working on Jamaica's North Coast as resident bassist and entertainment manager at Club Caribbean, a chance encounter found him in Germany in 2000 working with Sierra-Leon singer, Patrice. From then on, Roughhouse established himself as a musician, producer and later, recording artist. He has however maintained his strong connection to Jamaica and has over the years performed and recorded with artists such as Tarrus Riley, Ken Boothe, President Brown, Andru Donalds, Junior Kelly, Kyenie and he shares credit of his lat-
