Pastor Gets
6 Yrs For Fraud
Abakporo was indicted along with
Latanya Pierce, 43 of Brooklyn, for swindling
an elderly woman out of her multi-million
dollar property in Harlem, that she had owned
for more than 40 years, and then deceiving a
bank into giving them a $1.8 million mort-
gage loan secured by the property.
Abakporo was arrested in Queens and
Pierce was arrested after voluntarily surren-
dering to the FBI. On July 26, 2013, both
defendants were found guilty by a federal
jury.
As alleged in the Indictment unsealed in
Manhattan federal court: Beginning in March
2006, Abakporo, a lawyer with an office in
Brooklyn and Pierce, who worked for
Abakporo, cultivated a relationship with an
elderly woman (the Victim) who owned a
residential apartment building worth millions
of dollars located at 1070 St. Nicholas
Avenue, Harlem, New York (the Property).
As part of the fraud scheme, Abakporo
and Pierce earned the Victims trust by among
other things, offering to help her manage the
Property.

L
egalization of prostitution will not protect
the exploitation of our girls. I felt com-
pelled to write this article after I was asked to
consider starting an organization that would
help young girls to stop prostituting themselves
in Jamaica.
Before starting any task, I always research
the pros and cons to decide if this is something
that would be worthy of undertaking. What I
found was distressing and I realized that as
individuals we have to play a much bigger role
to help uplift and protect our youth.
I recalled meeting a young prostitute we
will call Maria. Maria was born in Brooklyn
to Dominican parents. I met Maria in one of
Brooklyns Housing Projects while visiting a
high school friend years back when I was in my
first year of college.
Upon entering the building, I noticed I
was being watched by some guys in the lobby.
Later, while in my friends apartment, Maria
came and introduced herself to me. I later found
out from her that her Pimp sent her to inves-
tigate me.
Within the three weeks of our meeting, I
found out a lot about her. At the age of thirteen,
she was forced to lose her virginity to the
Pimps twelve year old son. After that the
Pimp had his share of her; he then started
charging money from his friends to have sex
with her. I kept going back to my friends house
because I promised Maria that I would visit.
She wanted me to tell her what college
was like, and once she even asked me to teach
her to read. Unfortunately, I could not help her
because her Pimp sent her to another loca-
tion.
According to him she was wasting time
hanging out at the apartment with us. Although
this story happened in Brooklyn, it is not dif-
ferent from other girls being prostituted in the
Caribbean.
Prostitution in the Caribbean has increased
over the years. Girls as young as twelve have
been lured into this old profession which dates
back to the 18th Century BC from Ancient
Babylon and Sumer. Some of these girls volun-
teer to sell their bodies to buy school supplies.
Many questions ran through to my mind
while doing my research, but I will focus on
two thoughts.
For one, the concern of contracting
HIV/AIDs, and secondly, what are we as a soci-
ety doing to get them off the streets. In case you
missed this information, on August 2012 a
reporter for the Washington Times covered a
story that focused on the legalizing of prostitu-
tion.
Pro-prostitution groups claim that the
AIDS epidemic can be prevented if prostitution
is legalized.
The group was backed by the United
Nations saying that selling sex should be legal.
I am not sure how the legalization of pros-
titution will protect the sexual exploitation of
little girls. In my opinion, legalizing prostitu-
tion may give predators more ammunition to
hurt these girls.
As for my second thought on what we as
society will do to prevent young girls from
turning to prostitution or be prostituted, I will
leave that question for you the reader to think
about a solution and play your part as these
young girls could be your children.

O
n June 15, 2014 we will be celebrat-
ing another Father's Day to honor
fathers and celebrating fatherhood, pater-
nal bonds, and the influence of fathers in
society.
The US is among several countries
that celebrate Fathers Day on the third
Sunday of June, though it is also celebrat-
ed widely on other days. Father's Day was
created to complement Mother's Day, a
celebration that honors mothers and moth-
erhood.
However in comparison to Mother's
Day, not many people celebrate or appear
to be excited about Fathers Day. The
absence of fathers in most families is
among the major issues contributing to a
lack of interest in Fathers Day.
A significant number of fathers are
missing from the family and have not been
involved in their childrens life.
In fact, women are not only more like-
ly to be the primary caregivers in most
families, as increasingly, they are the only
breadwinners, too.
Four in 10 American households with
children under age 18 now include a moth-
er who is either the sole or primary earner
for her family, according to a Pew
Research Center analysis of Census and
polling data. This share-the highest on
record, has quadrupled since 1960.
The shift reflects evolving family
dynamics in which the fathers are increas-
ingly missing from the home.
The female-headed households is not
good for the family as these women have
been facing gender discrimination with
respect to education, earnings, rights, and
economic opportunities.
As revealed in several studies, female-
headed households are being exposed to
poverty and other cases of hardship. The
family is also more pruned to social and
psychological challenges that could lead to
indiscipline and other behavioral prob-
lems.
It is extremely difficult for any single
parent to raise children, therefore the
ongoing absence of men from the family is
not helping our community.
We understand the social and econom-
ic challenges being faced by some of our
men, but it would appear that others are
just irresponsible, selfish and careless.
Those men we can do without.
As we celebrate Fathers Day, we
should salute and encourage the real men
that continue to protect and care for their
family with unconditional love and com-
passion.

BROOKLYN:
A
Brooklyn man has been named in a
five-count indictment charging him
with second-degree murder and other
charges in connection with a stabbing spree
that left a 6-year-old boy dead and his 7-
year-old friend seriously injured.
The defendant has been identified as
Daniel St. Hubert, 27, of 658 Jamaica
Avenue in Brooklyn.
He faces up to 50 years to life in prison
if convicted. No court date has yet been set
for the defendants Brooklyn Supreme Court
arraignment on the indictment.
According to the investigation, on June
1, 2014, at approximately 5:40 p.m., at the
Boulevard Houses located at 845 Schenck
Avenue in the East New York section of
Brooklyn, Prince Joshua Avitto, 6, and
Mikayla Capers, 7, entered the building as,
as did the defendant, who then allegedly
attacked the children in an elevator, stabbing
each of them multiple times, before fleeing
the scene.
According to Kings County District
Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson, Mikayla
Capers, who had been stabbed multiple
times and was bleeding managed to exit the
building shortly after the defendant. Police
responded to the scene and recovered a
bloody knife, which later tested positive for
the defendants DNA. Prince Joshua Avitto
was found on the floor of the elevator with
multiple stab wounds about his body. He
was pronounced dead upon arrival at
Brookdale Hospital. Mikayla Capers was
treated for abdominal bleeding and a lacer-
ated spleen.
The case was investigated by New York
City Police Department detectives assigned
to the 75th Precinct Detective Squad and the
Brooklyn North Homicide Squad.

This included collecting rent from its
tenants on her behalf. However, instead of
providing the Victim with the renters
money, Abakporo and Pierce pocketed it.
Abakporo and Pierce then convinced
the Victim to sell her property to them for
$3.1 million. While they contracted to buy
the property for that amount, at the closing,
they presented the Victim with multiple
fake and fraudulent checks to make it
appear as if they had paid the contracted
sale amount, when in fact they had not.
Moreover, after the Victims attorney
had left the closing, Abakporo and Pierce
fraudulently induced her to return all of the
checks to them by representing that they
would safeguard her money and give her a
private mortgage in the Property, which
they explained would include monthly
payments made to her based on the money
she had effectively loaned them.
As part of the scheme, Abakporo and
Pierce signed and provided the Victim with
a written agreement representing that she
had loaned them approximately $1.9 mil-
lion and in return held a private mort-
gage in the Property.
Unbeknownst to the Victim,
Abakporo and Pierce never recorded the
private mortgage and subsequently sub-
mitted a fraudulent application to
Washington Mutual Bank seeking a $1.8
mortgage loan secured by the Property.
Abakporo and Pierce never disclosed to
the bank that the Victim already held a pri-
vate mortgage on the Property.
Instead, Abakporo and Pierce falsely
represented to the bank that they had pur-
chased the Property for $3.1 million and
owned it free and clear. Based on those,
and other, fraudulent representations,
Abakporo and Pierce obtained a $1.8 mil-
lion mortgage loan from the bank, which
they failed to repay.
As a result of the alleged fraud, the
defendants obtained substantially all of the
Victims assets, and $1.8 million in fraud-
ulently obtained mortgage proceeds. The
Property went into default.

Guilty to Fraud
BROOKLYN:
J
ason Stevens, 41, of 68 Jay Street, in
Brooklyn and his corporation, Fulton
Ferry Market, Inc., pleaded guilty recent-
ly to one count of second-degree grand
larceny and four counts of criminal tax
fraud before Acting Brooklyn Supreme
Court Justice Matthew A. Sciarrino, Jr.,
who is expected to sentence the defendant
to 3 1/3 to 10 years in prison on July 21,
2014.
Kings County District Attorney
Kenneth P. Thompson said that, between
2009 and 2012, the defendants Stevens
and Fulton Ferry Market operated
reBar, a restaurant located at 147 Front
Street, in DUMBO, Brooklyn, and col-
lected approximately $200,000 in sales
tax from customers that they failed to
remit to the New York State Department
of Taxation and Finance. They also evad-
ed $1.2 million in sales tax by failing to
collect it for goods and services rendered.
District Attorney Thompson said,
When consumers pay sales tax they
expect those funds to go into the public
treasury. The state is dependent upon the
collection of taxes to operate its govern-
ment. Greedy business owners who ille-
gally pocket sales tax or fail to charge tax
in exchange for a cash deal are in fact
cheating all New Yorkers.

S
everal days after he was mugged and
shot Donnell Getfield, 24, a father
who had just attended an awards ceremo-
ny at his daughters Brooklyn elementary
school, is recovering from the injuries sus-
tained during the robbery.
His father and prominent Jamaican-
born entrepreneur/CEO of Dale Furniture
Store in the Bronx, Dale Getfield, told
Street Hype that his son who was admitted
to the Brookdale Hospital is responding
well to medications.
Donnell was walking with his grand-
mother on June 12 around 11 a.m. near PS
233 on Avenue B in Canarsie when a thief
approached, police sources said. Donnell
threw a couple of punches at the thug, who
then pulled out a gun and shot him in the
torso, the sources said.
He collapsed to the ground and the
robber snatched his gold chain from
around Getfields neck and jumped into a
nearby car.
Police officers were later posted out-
side the school, as the gunman is still at-
large.
Getfield expressed his appreciation to
the medical staff at the hospital and the
hundreds of family members, friends and
customers for their words of encourage-
ment and prayers. We are all very happy
that Donnell is still alive, but I would like
an end to the violence in our community
as at the end of the day nobody benefits
from such viscous attack on each other,
he appeals.

Mistrial For Smith
Corruption Case?
WHITE PLAINS:
T
he corruption trial of three New York
politicians will likely end in a mistrial
unless enough jurors are willing to serve a
month or so longer than they expected, a
federal judge said Monday.
If the jurors can't stick with the case, it
will probably mean a whole new trial for
state Sen. Malcolm Smith, former New
York City Councilman Daniel Halloran and
former Queens Republican leader Vincent
Tabone.
They're accused of scheming to bribe
Republican party leaders so Smith, a
Democrat, could run for the GOP line in the
New York City mayoral race.
The case ran into trouble last week
when a witness disclosed the existence of
more than 90 hours of secret recordings
involving a government informant, includ-
ing 28 hours in Yiddish. The prosecution
had not shared the recordings on the
grounds they weren't relevant to the case,
but defense lawyers differed and Judge
Kenneth Karas ordered full disclosure.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (JIS) -- Jamaicas
Cabinet has approved a revision of the
Dangerous Drugs Act for the decriminalisa-
tion of ganja (marijuana) for medicinal, reli-
gious, and private/personal use.
The proposed changes will facilitate
ganja being used for therapeutic purposes, as
prescribed by a registered practitioner, or for
scientific research conducted by an accredited
tertiary institution or otherwise approved by
the Scientific Research Council (SRC).
The changes will also enable the use of
ganja in religious engagements by stakehold-
ers, such as Rastafarians.
Details on the latest development were
outlined by Minister of Justice, Senator Mark
Golding, during a media briefing on
Thursday.
Additionally, the changes will make the
possession of small quantities, amounting to
two ounces (0.057 kilogrammes) or less, a
non-arrestable but ticketable infraction,
attracting a fine payable outside of the court,
but not resulting in the possessor attaining a
criminal record.
Meanwhile, a Bill to amend the Criminal
Records (Rehabilitation of Offenders) Act
that will result in the expunging of existing
criminal records for possession of small quan-
tities of, or smoking of ganja, is to be tabled in
Parliament shortly by the justice minister.
Golding indicated that the proposed
changes have been under consideration for
some time. However, he pointed out that the
necessary internal consultations and con-
sequential refinements had to be undertaken
before the submission was made to Cabinet in
April, for consideration.
He emphasized that proposed changes to
the law are not intended to promote or give a
stamp of approval to the use of ganja for
recreational purposes.
The objective is to provide a more
enlightened approach to dealing with pos-
session of small quantities and smokingThe
proposed changes represent an approach
which will (redound) to the benefit of the per-
sons concerned and the society as a whole,
and reduce the burden on the court system,
the minister said.
Golding noted that the current
approach to ganja criminalisation places a
significant burden on Jamaicas over-
stretched court system, and has contributed
to current case backlogs in the Resident
Magistrates Courts. He contended that the
treatment of minor offences as ticketable
offences should ease the pressure on the court
system.
The minister advised, however, that the
existing provisions of the law, which make
ganja possession an offence, remain
unchanged until Parliament approves the pro-
posed amendments
Therefore, our citizens are obliged to
abide by the rule of law, as it (currently)
stands, he emphasized.

aribbean countries benefitted from an
increase in remittances last year accord-
ing to figures released by the Multilateral
Investment Fund (MIF).
The MIF, a member of the Inter-
American Development Bank (IDB), said
that in 2013, remittances to Central America
and the Caribbean increased over the previ-
ous year while remittance flows to South
America and Mexico declined, resulting in
flat growth for the region as a whole.
In its report titled : Remittances to Latin
America and the Caribbean in 2013: Still
below Pre-Crisis Levels, the MIF said that
last year the region received a total of
US$61.3 billion sent by migrants to their
countries of origin.
Remittance fows to Latin America and
the Caribbean remain an important source of
income for millions of poor and vulnerable
families, said MIF General Manager Nancy
Lee.
Remittance recipients need more
access to financial tools that will help them
use remittances to save and make invest-
ments for their future in areas like education,
housing, and starting and growing business-
es.
The report notes that, as this sector has
evolved, there is an increasingly wide variety
of services available to remittance senders,
allowing them to make transfers using bank
accounts and debit and credit cards.
However, in many countries in the
region, cash withdrawals are still the prevail-
ing option for receiving remittances, show-
ing that financial institutions have business
opportunities to offer payment and savings
products tailored to customers needs and
preferences.
The United States is the source of about
three-quarters of remittances to the region,
followed by Spain.

T

on Monday.
It said Lagarde and her delegation will

She will also participate in a number of

Director of the IMF underscores the Funds
support for Jamaicas Economic Reform
Programme, and signals its commitment to
assisting the wider Caribbean, according to
the statement from the Finance Ministry.
In May, an IMF review mission to
Jamaica concluded that the countrys overall
economic performance under the programme
remains strong; economic outlook is improv-
ing, crisis risks have receded, growth has
picked up, net exports are stronger, inflation
has been brought under control, and reserves
are starting to recover.
In May last year, Jamaica entered into a
four year US$948.1 million Extended Fund
Facility (EFF) agreement with the IMF.

Cuban ballet dancers defect to the US:
A group of dancers who defected over the weekend from the National Ballet of
Cuba appeared at a press conference in Miami last week and said they planned
to pursue careers in the United States. The six dancers had been performing in
Puerto Rico before abandoning the tour on Sunday and flying to Florida. A sev-
enth dancer defected but stayed behind with friends in Puerto Rico. Speaking at
the press conference, the six dancers, all under the age of 25, said they had dis-
cussed the idea of defecting with family and friends for some time. Cuban exiles
are granted special immigration privileges, as well as financial benefits to help
them get on their feet in the United States, under the Cuban Adjustment Act.
Sundays defection marked the second major defection of Cuban ballet dancers
in the United States in a little over a year.

The Commission
which sets the guidelines
for sentences imposed on
federal criminal defen-
dantsapproved a propos-
al in April to lower, by two
levels, the base offense
associated with various
drug quantities involved in
drug trafficking crimes.
Next month, the
Commission will vote on
whether the change, which
is estimated to reduce the
average sentence by 23
months, should be applied
retroactively to individuals
who are already in prison.
The department is pro-
posing that the
Commission make the
revised guidelines retroac-
tive for individuals who
lack significant criminal
histories and whose offens-
es did not include aggra-
vating factors, such as the
possession of a dangerous
weapon or the use of vio-
lence. This approach is
consistent with the depart-
ments overall criminal jus-
tice reform efforts, which
seek to reserve the harshest
penalties for the most seri-
ous criminals who pose the
greatest threat to public
safety.
Under the depart-
ments proposal, if your
offense was nonviolent, did
not involve a weapon, and
you do not have a signifi-
cant criminal history, then
you would be eligible to
apply for a reduced sen-
tence in accordance with
the new rules approved by
the Commission in April,
Holder said. Not everyone
in prison for a drug-related
offense would be eligible.
Nor would everyone who
is eligible be guaranteed a
reduced sentence. But this
proposal strikes the best
balance between protecting
public safety and address-
ing the overcrowding of
our prison system that has
been exacerbated by
unnecessarily long sen-
tences.
The departments
position in favor of apply-
ing the revised guidelines
retrospectively in some
cases was conveyed
Tuesday during a formal
hearing of the
Commission. Sally Yates,
the U.S. Attorney for the
Northern District of
Georgia, and Bureau of
Prisons Director Charles
Samuels testified on behalf
of the department.
Under the plan supported
by the department, Yates
added, retroactivity would
be available to a class of
non-violent offenders who
have limited criminal his-
tory and did not possess or
use a weapon, and thus will
apply only to the category
of drug offender who war-
rants a less severe sentence
and who also poses the
least risk of reoffending.

Asafa could be
back in action
F
ORMER World record holder Asafa
Powell could return to competitive
track and field earlier than previously
thought, and, according to information,
he could be free to run as early as next
week.
It is understood that the global
governing body for the sport, the
International Association of Athletics
Federations (IAAF) and the World
Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have
arrived at an agreement to lessen
Powell's 18-month ban to 11 months,
which would make him eligible imme-
diately.
It is also understood, however, that
he was expected to have competed at a
meet in the United States on Friday, but
the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission's
(JADCO)- required signing off on the
agreement did not happen. The reason
for JADCO's not signing the agreement
was not clear.
San Antonio Spurs
Wins 5th NBA
Championship
T
he San Antonio Spurs exacted
revenge over Miami Heat on
Sunday, dominating the outgoing cham-
pions in the way they dominated the
series, wrapping up their 5th NBA title
with a professional 104-87 victory in
game-5 of the finals, winning the series
and the title 4-1.
The Spurs remembered their tough
4-3 NBA finals loss to the Heat last year,
with Ray Allen's 3-pointer which tied
and turned the match in game-6 going
down in folklore. The Spurs were ticks
away from the title, when the Heat's Ray
Allen tied the match with a 3-pointer
from the right corner, and went on to win
game-6 in over-time and then wrap up
the series in game-7.
After the Spurs won the Western
Conference Championships, their all-star
power forward, Tim Duncan, who dou-
bles as a centre, said "we remember what
happened last year (2013) and we will
take care of business this time."

Jamaican triple
jumper arrested
for shoplifting
ARKANSAS:
J
amaican-born triple jumper Clive
Pullen was yesterday arrested and
charged for shoplifting in the United
States, according to a report from
Northwest Arkansas News (NWA).
Pullen was arrested at the Wal-Mart
Supercenter on Martin Luther King
Boulevard in Fayetteville, Arkansas after
he was reportedly caught and detained for
stealing fish and clothes, the arrest report
stated.
The former Kingston College jumper
and national representative was booked
into the Washington County jail at 1:17 am
on Thursday but by 3:27 am he was
released on a $565 bond, NWA said.
Pullen is currently a freshman triple

Eugune, Oregon, where several Arkansas
athletes are this week

Group Five of the Caribbean Football
Union (CFU) qualifiers.
The 24-member squad had a two-
week preparation camp in Florida before
departing for Santo Domingo and team
physician Dr Ephraim Ingram believes
players are in tip-top shape.
"The players are, generally speak-
ing, in very good condition," he told the
Jamaica Observer moments after the bulk
of the squad arrived at the team hotel.
"There is nothing of major concern at the
moment. The only thing of concern is
fatigue due to the travel, but they should
be resting tonight and by tomorrow all
will be well."
The team doctor stressed the impor-
tance of proper fluid intake.

10 Jamaica Avenue in Queens, and on
Sunday June 22 at 6:30 pm at The

University, 1 University Plaza , Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn.

ning Jamaican actor, vocalist and produc-
er Andrew Clarke- to celebrate and pre-
serve Jamaican and Caribbean culture
through the performance of the regions
folk music.
And as a celebration befitting this

dents, who lift their voices in song during
times good and bad.
Founder and Artistic/Musical

what amazed that five years have passed
from the beginnings of Braata to what he
now calls the most significant and
inspired Braata production we have done
to date.

CELEBRATING FATHERS DAY
F
ather's Day is a beautiful festival that
acknowledges and appreciates the
important role played by a father in raising
the child and consequently building a
stronger society.
Though fathers have been revered at all
times by civilizations across the globe iron-
ically what was missing until the last centu-
ry was the official recognition of the signif-
icance of fathers in ones life.
Father's Day story is the tale of realiza-
tion of the need for a Father's Day festival
primarily by Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd
of Washington.
The story narrates Sonora's unflagging
struggle to officially set a day to honor all
fathers. Thanks to Sonora, today Fathers
Day is celebrated in a large number of coun-
tries around the world.
Father's Day has become a hugely pop-
ular festival. World over people thank their
father and pay tribute to them. Most com-
monly children gift Father's Day cards and
flowers to their father.
Neckties are a popular gift on the occa-
sion of Father's Day. Due to the tradition of
giving gifts, cards makers, florists and gift
sellers campaign for Father's Day Festival
in a big way and cash in on the sentiments
of the people.

J
ust as I know how my son Jordan is grate-
ful for my part in his life, I also recognize
that there are many children out there who
have lacked such a figure.
As we celebrate Fathers Day, it is cru-
cial that we recognize how responsible
fatherhood serves our society. Along with
our mothers, grandparents and other figures
that serve in a parental role, fathers are pil-
lars that set examples for our young peo-
pleespecially our young menon how to
carry themselves and to treat others.
Fathers encourage their children in
their academic pursuits and their social
development. They help them when trouble
arises, be it a dispute with a sibling or a
homework assignment. They guide their
children to be become good citizens and
thoughtful human beings, to stay on the
right path.
"In the wake of the recent tragedies in
East New York, as well as the increase in
shootings citywide, we are continually
reminded of the significance of responsible
families and communities to move forward.
I wish all of our fathers a happy Fathers
Day and ask them to commit to their chil-
dren, for their betterment and the betterment
of our shared future."

CARE
MATTERS

TOGIA AND PAULINE,

H
ealthy hair is important to your
overall appearance. Yet women
and men continue to abuse and dam-
age their hair everyday.
Blow-drying, braids, leaving your
weaves in for to long, curling irons
and especially home relaxer kits suf-
fering your poor and helpless head of
hair to more damage. Here are a few
things that you can do to minimize
the damages.
Eliminate split ends by having reg-
ular trims, regular trims will also help
your relaxer to last longer.
Use a leave-in conditioner before a
blow-dry, curling iron or electric
rollers.
Get a deep treatment a least every
two weeks.
Use a conditioner after you sham-
poo to eliminate tangles, but be cau-
tious, too much conditioner tends to
make hair look dull and limp sacrific-
ing its fullness and body
After a perm, relaxer or color serv-
ice ask your hairstylist for recom-
mendations on deep treatment. Not
all deep treatments work equally for
all types of hair.
Consult with your stylist for condi-
tioning treatments for your particular
hair type.
The requirements for oily hair dif-
fers from those of dry and severely
damaged hair. Conditioning is essen-
tial for healthy, beautiful hair.
Keeping your hair beautiful, healthy
and shiny requires time and effort.
New Beginnings Salon has a num-
ber of hair care products for hair
maintenance between salon visits.

O
ne man's search for love from
cesspool to sushiland.
Written/Performed by Stefhen Bryan
and Directed by Jared Scheib.
Doodoo Boy is staged on
Saturdays @ 3:00., June 14 - July 13
at the SoHo Playhouse, 15 Vandam
Street, New York, NY 10013.
Doodu Boy is the harrowing, but
hilarious autobiographical story of
Stefhen Bryan's struggle across three
continents to find unconditional love
in the face of an absent father and
overzealous mother.
The story begins with his fright-
ening childhood in a Jamaican ghetto
on a church commune, where he fall
into the neighborhood cesspool and
earns his nickname: Doodu Boy.

T
he father of Paterson NJ Mayor elect
Joey Torres died on Monday May
26th, according to family members. Juan
Torres was 95. The mayor-elect went to
visit his father at St. Josephs Regional
Medical Center on election night, May 13,
shortly after learning that he had recap-
tured the mayors seat.
In addition to Mayor Torres, he is sur-
vived by seven of his eight children, John
Torres of Camuy, PR.; Gladys Torres of
Hawthorne; Gerardo Freddie Torres of
Paterson; Samuel Torres of North
Haledon; Mar in Jimenez from Paterson;
and Ida Jimenez of Paterson, NJ. He is
also survived by 27 grandchildren, 21
great-grandchildren and three great-great-
grandchildren.
Among the mourners at the funeral were
councilman Anthony Davis Councilman
William Mc Koy, Ken Morris and Nellie
Pou, NJ State senator for the 35th district.
Paterson Police were out in full force
including city workers families and friend.
Christie for Torress
Inauguration
PATERSON:
G
overnor Christie has agreed to come
to Paterson to administer the oath of
office when Mayor-elect Joey Torres is
inaugurated on July 1.
Torres had invited the sitting gover-
nors to swear him in at his two previous
inaugurations, but Christie would be the
first one to do the honors.
Jane Williams-Warren, the city clerk,
confirmed that Christie has accepted
Torres invitation to swear him in, but
Christies press staff did not respond to
emails seeking confirmation of the gov-
ernors plans.
To me, the message here is biparti-
san support, said Torres. Its the only
way we can get anything done.
Man Arrested for
Real Estate Fraud
NEW JERSEY:
R
andy Poulson, 42, Woolwich
Township, New Jersey, the owner and
operator of Equity Capital Investments
LLC, is charged with allegedly scamming
distressed homeowners into giving him
their houses and then soliciting fake real
estate investments from private investors,
secured by those same properties, that net-
ted him more than $3 million in illicit prof-
its.
The defendant was arrested by special
agents of the Philadelphia FBI. Poulson
was arrested on a complaint charging him
with mail fraud, which alleges the business
he operated was actually a multi-million-
dollar Ponzi scheme. Poulson is scheduled
for an initial appearance and bail hearing
before U.S. Magistrate Judge Anne Marie
Donio in Camden federal court.
According to the complaint, Poulson
engaged in a two-pronged scheme. First, he
promised to pay the mortgages of dis-
tressed homeowners facing foreclosure if
they sold their homes to himfor no other
compensation. Using this method, Poulson
obtained the deeds to more than 25 dis-
tressed homeowners residences, causing
them to vacate the homes so renters could
move in. Poulson then stopped making the
monthly mortgage payments, causing those
mortgages to go into foreclosure without
the distressed homeowners knowledge.
PATERSON:
C
ouncilman-elect Alex Mendez man-
aged to get more votes than any other
candidate in the eight-person race even
though campaign finance reports show he
was outspent by four of his rivals.
Mendez collected $15,000 in campaign
donations, according to reports he filed last
week with the state Election Law
Enforcement Commission.
The two other winners in the contest
for three seats incumbent Kenneth
Morris and Maritza Davila raised four
times as much money as Mendez did, with
Morris getting more than $66,000 and
Davila more than $64,000, according to
reports filed so far.

WOMAN SEEKING MAN
W
omen love to be
cater to, but many
do not return the favor of
taking care of their man.
A relationship is not
a one sided affair, it takes
two to tango so treat your
man the same way you
expect him to treat you.
Here are a few things you
can do to ensure your
man is been catered to.
Cook for your man:
It is said the way to a
mans heart is through his
stomach. Make sure his
dinner is waiting for him
when he gets home from
work; men love a good
home cook meal. Give
him breakfast in bed
every now and then,
sometimes its the simple
things in life that really
matters.
Invite your man out:
Gone are the days when
its the man who has to
take you out.
Invite him to the
movies or out for a drink,
even a walk in the park
holding hands can be
entertaining.
Now ladies, you are
the one taking him out, it
then mean you are the
one paying, yes! We can
do that too. He will sure-
ly feel loved and appreci-
ated.
Entertain your man:
Do something different
for you man at least once
a month. Like, turn off all
the lights in the house
and light the candles run
him a bath and join him
with a bottle of wine or
his favorite drink.
Give him a massage
and pamper him, after all
of that Im sure it will
lead to a pleasurable
night for both of you.
Until next time live,
love, laugh.

Cater To Your Man
Dear Divine Diva:
B
efore we met, my girlfriend got large
breast implants. I think they're a terri-
ble turn-off, but I don't know how to tell
her. Should I try to overlook this because I
love her, or can I tell her the truth about
why our love life is sometimes not so hot?
I have known her long enough that the
next step is marriage -- or nothing.
She walks around the house bare-
chested and obviously thinks I find her
breasts a big turn-on. I have faked it for
five years. What should I do?
-Not That Excited In Brooklyn
Dear Not That Excited:
Your letter is a lesson about the danger of
"faking it." Level with your girlfriend, but
without using the words "terrible" and
"turn-off." Tell her you love her, but while
many men find large breasts to be a turn-
on, you actually prefer smaller ones -- to
the degree that it sometimes affects your
sexual performance.
Explain that if she thinks her breasts
are what have kept you interested, it's not
the case. At some point, one or more of her
implants may need to be replaced, and she
might opt for smaller ones.

Dear Divine Diva:
I
'm 18 years old. I play two competitive
sports, maintain a 4.0 GPA, have good
friends and will be attending the college of
my dreams. Yet for some reason I cannot
get along with my parents.
It seems like I can't live up to their
standards. We get into huge fights every
day over insignificant things. My parents
continually tell me they don't think I will
handle college very well because I "can't
get along with people." But their lack of
faith just frustrates me and we get into
more fights.
In reality, the only people I don't get
along with are my parents. This is unset-
tling to me because next fall I will be
across the country from them and I feel
they will be happy that I'm gone.
I'm at a loss as to what to do to con-
trol my temper and fix my relationship
with my parents before I leave. Your
advice would be appreciated.
Karen From The Bronx
Dear Karen:
It's possible that your parents may be suf-
fering from separation anxiety. You, their
child, are about to leave the nest, and they
may be dealing with conflicting feelings
of pride in your accomplishments and sad-
ness that you are about to fly from the
nest. It may not be a lack of faith in you.
Also, they may be having second
thoughts about how they can afford the
tuition and other college expenses beyond
possible financial aid. Sit and talk to your
parents youll be glad did.

My Wife's Large

College Bound Student Doesnt
Measure Up in Parents Eyes
ARIES (March 21-April
19): Your dreams may have
something important to tell
you as Neptune rewinds and
a Full Moon in Sagittarius
whips up emotions. Stay alert
for reveries that could pro-
vide guidance. Be careful
with spending on Thursday,
and consider carrying some
spare cash in case of a poten-
tial credit card mishap.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20): Venus in your sign tends
toward passion, especially as
it links with Pluto. If a rela-
tionship seems to have
stalled recently, this blend of
energies might wake it up
and give it a new lease on
life. However, when it comes
to shopping, go easy on
Thursday.
GEMINI (May 21-June
20): As Neptune enters its
retrograde phase in your
career sector, you could get
an insight into a situation
that's been bothering you for
some time. Clarity may
dawn, helping you to make
an informed decision.
Relationships get a boost as
the Full Moon in Sagittarius
brings lively dynamism to
your love life.
CANCER (June 21-July
22): With the Sun in your
spiritual sector, try to make
time to relax and reflect
every day. Adopting a regular
meditative habit could give
you a fresh perspective on
problems and greater confi-
dence in dealing with them.
Meanwhile, a Full Moon on
Thursday could encourage
you to indulge your sweet
tooth.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Romance may be your num-
ber one preoccupation this
week, as Neptune rewinds in
your sensitive Eighth House.
Dreams of a loved one could
wrap you in delicious fan-
tasies in the days ahead.
Also, a Full Moon in your
love affair sector might
encourage you to take the
plunge.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Someone's agenda may grow
clearer, but think carefully
before you decide what to do
about it. Thursday's Full
Moon can be excellent for a
party or other celebration at
home. And the good news is
that you can carry the fun
over to Friday for more siz-
zling entertainment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Tension may develop this
week, particularly if you find
it hard to see eye to eye with
someone. You may have
good reason to be annoyed
with this person, but this isn't
the time to ruffle feathers,
particularly over the week-
end. The Full Moon in your
communication sector on
Thursday could encourage
you to say more than you
intend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23- Nov.
21): Neptune rewinds in your
creative and romance sector
on Monday, which might
help you come to grips with a
budding liaison. If you've
been getting mixed signals, it
might be not only due to
Mercury retrograde but also
to someone being undecided
about their feelings.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-
Dec. 21): You may feel full
of life and energy during the
Full Moon in your sign on
Thursday. Try to avoid blunt-
ness and hurting someone's
feelings, as that could be one
consequence of this Moon
phase. On the other hand, it
could coincide with a desire
to have fun, go on an adven-
ture, and live life to the max.
Try not to mix money and
friendship, especially over
the weekend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19): A focus on lifestyle
options encourages you to
think about your daily habits.
This might be a good time to
ditch those that aren't work-
ing for you and focus on
adopting new measures that
can help you achieve the suc-
cess and fitness you want and
deserve.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Your energy seems pret-
ty good, though you might
have a tendency to
overindulge. You may enjoy
researching diet and exercise
options, and reading the lat-
est information on achieving
optimum health. Meanwhile,
a Full Moon on Thursday is
perfect for celebrations, par-
ties, and all kinds of get-
togethers. Although things
could get very boisterous, it
will likely be a lot of fun.
PISCES (Feb. 19- March
20): Home and family
affairs, along with leisure,
pleasure, and other delights,
can give this week a positive
boost. Spending time with
loved ones you enjoy hang-
ing out with may be all you
need to feel content.
However, a Full Moon in
your career sector could
bring an opportunity to your
attention.

T
he juicy, tropical flavor of mangos are
enjoyed by many, but there are other
benefits of eating the fruit beyond its fla-
vor. In fact, June is National Fresh Fruits
and Vegetables month, and according to
Mango.org, June is also National Mango
Month. All the more reason to hone in on
this healthy fruit!
Aside from the delicious taste, man-
gos are full of health benefits.
1) May prevent certain cancers.
Discoveries have found that mangos con-
tain a large amount of polyphenols, which
play a role in fighting free radicals and
protecting against cell damage, which
could lead to cancer (1). Specifically, it's
been found that many of its compounds
have the ability to combat breast and colon
cancer cells. Furthermore, mangos have
high levels of flavonoids like beta-
carotene and alpha-carotene, which help
protect against oral cavity and lung can-
cers (2).
2) Help eye and skin health. Mangos
have a high vitamin A content, which is
good for helping to keep bones, skin and
eyes healthy. Eating one cup of mangos
provides the body with approximately 35
percent of the vitamin A needed for opti-
mal functioning (3).
3) Help reduce blood pressure. Because
this fruit has good potassium levels, yet is
low in sodium, it's considered ideal for
those looking to lower blood pressure (2).
4) Boost brain health. Improve mood and
overall brain ability with mangos. They
have large amounts of the vitamin B-6 as
well as glutamine acid which helps to
improve neurotransmitter function, so the
brain remains healthy while also benefit-
ing from improved memory and concen-
tration (4).
5) Better heart health. According to the
Institute of Medicine, women should have
25 g of fiber daily, at a minimum (3). One
cup of mango as more than 2.5 g of dietary
fiber, and eating it along with other fiber-
rich foods contribute toward meeting that
goal. As with all high fiber diets, heart dis-
ease risks are lessened.
Mango fun facts
It's also interesting to note that there's
more to the mango that what's ingested.
Many fun facts abound when it comes to
this fruit including legend that says
Buddha used to meditate under a mango
tree, are thought to be a gesture of friend-
ship in India, and that they're related to
pistachios (5).

Mangos are brimming with health and fun history!
Alcohol is metabolized differently than other
foods and beverages. Under normal condi-
tions, your body gets its energy from the calo-
ries in carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which
are slowly digested and absorbed within the
gastrointestinal system. However, this diges-
tive process changes when alcohol is present.
When you drink alcohol, it gets immediate
attention (because it is viewed by the body as
a toxin) and needs no digestion.
On an empty stomach, the alcohol molecules
diffuse through the stomach wall quickly and
can reach the brain and liver in minutes. This
process is slower when you have food in your
stomach, but as soon as that food enters the
small intestine, the alcohol grabs first priority
and is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream.
As the alcohol reaches the liver for process-
ing, the liver places all of its attention on the
alcohol. If you drink very slowly, all the alco-
hol is collected by the liver and processed
immediatelyavoiding all other body sys-
tems. If you drink more quickly, the liver can-
not keep up with the processing needs and the
alcohol continues to circulate in the body until
the liver is available to process it.
When the body is focused on processing
alcohol, it is not able to properly break down
foods containing carbohydrates and fat.
Therefore, these calories are converted into
body fat and are carried away for permanent
storage on your body.
Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning that it causes
water loss and dehydration. Along with this
water loss you lose important minerals, such
as magnesium, potassium, calcium and zinc.
These minerals are vital to the maintenance of
fluid balance, chemical reactions, and muscle
contraction and relaxation.
Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram and
offers NO nutritional value. It only adds
empty calories to your diet. Why not spend
your calorie budget on something healthier?
Alcohol affects your body in other negative
ways. Drinking may help induce sleep, but the
sleep you get isn't very deep. As a result, you
get less rest, which can trigger you to eat more
calories the next day.

How To Become A Millionaire Entrepreneur
1. Follow the money. In today's econom-
ic environment you cannot save your way to
millionaire status. The first step is to focus on
increasing your income in increments and
repeating that. My income was $3,000 a
month and nine years later it was $20,000 a
month. Start following the money and it will
force you to control revenue and see opportu-
nities.
2. Don't show offshow up! I didn't
buy my first luxury watch or car until my busi-
nesses and investments were producing multi-
ple secure flows of income. I was still driving
a Toyota Camry when I had become a mil-
lionaire. Be known for your work ethic, not
the trinkets that you buy.
3. Save to invest, don't save to save.
The only reason to save money is to invest it.
Put your saved money into secured, sacred
(untouchable) accounts. Never use these
accounts for anything, not even an emergency.
This will force you to continue to follow step
one (increase income). To this day, at least
twice a year, I am broke because I always
invest my surpluses into ventures I cannot
access.
4. Avoid debt that doesn't pay you.
Make it a rule that you never use debt that
won't make you money. I borrowed money for
a car only because I knew it could increase my
income. Rich people use debt to leverage
investments and grow cash flows.
Poor people use debt to buy things that make
rich people richer.
5. Treat money like a jealous lover.
Millions wish for financial freedom, but only
those that make it a priority have millions. To
get rich and stay rich you will have to make it
a priority. Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore
it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave
you for someone who makes it a priority.
6. Money doesn't sleep. Money doesn't
know about clocks, schedules or holidays, and
you shouldn't either. Money loves people that
have a great work ethic. When I was 26 years
old, I was in retail and the store I worked at
closed at 7 p.m. Most times you could find me
there at 11 p.m. making an extra sale. Never
try to be the smartest or luckiest person just
make sure you outwork everyone.
7. Poor makes no sense. I have been
poor, and it sucks. I have had just enough and
that sucks almost as bad. Eliminate any and all
ideas that being poor is somehow OK. Bill
Gates has said, "If you're born poor, it's not
your mistake. But if you die poor, it is your
mistake."
8. Get a millionaire mentor. Most of us
were brought up middle class or poor and then
hold ourselves to the limits and ideas of that
group. I have been studying millionaires to
duplicate what they did. Get your own person-
al millionaire mentor and study them. Most
rich people are extremely generous with their
knowledge and their resources.
9. Get your money to do the heavy lift-
ing. Investing is the Holy Grail in becoming a
millionaire and you should make more money
off your investments than your work. If you
don't have surplus money you won't make
investments. The second company I started
required a $50,000 investment. That company
has paid me back that $50,000 every month
for the last 10 years. My third investment was
in real estate, where I started with $350,000, a
large part of my net worth at the time. I still
own that property today and it continues to
provide me with income. Investing is the only
reason to do the other steps, and your money
must work for you and do your heavy lifting.
10. Shoot for $10 million, not $1 mil-
lion. The single biggest financial mistake I've
made was not thinking big enough. I encour-
age you to go for more than a million. There is
no shortage of money on this planet, only a
shortage of people thinking big enough.
