f you've visited Lux Night Club, Tavern on the Lake or Level in New York and you were impressed by the style and quality then you'll have to visit Shipwreck, the next venture for young entrepreneur Ronnie Kishore. Shipwreck is a new restaurant opening in the building popularly known for D' Caribbean Hut. From the beginning of April, for as long as I've lived in Orlando, if you stopped by Caribbean Hut you could easily drop in on a band launching for Orlando Carnival or at Christmas time, you'd be sure to find Parang party in session or coming up. It's been a popular party venue for the Caribbean Community for years and certainly a place to stop in to find out the latest about Carnival or when a fete coming up. Tucked in the back of the Magic Mall Plaza at 2141 W. Colonial Drive, between Tampa & John Young Parkway. On Saturday, you'll witness the transformation to Shipwreck Roti Shop Restaurant & Bar. We've been promised that we will be blown away by the decor of the building. Stop by for free appetizers and a Happy Hour that runs from noon to 5pm for the Grand Opening.

The federal members of FEMA have written a letter to Governor Scott explaining the consequences if he goes forward with signing the House Bill 503. “One consequence is that flood insurance may not be sold or renewed within the community.

Our governor has the potential to destroy the housing market for the State of Florida, if he signs the House Bill 503. As a homeowner with flood insurance, I am hoping that he listens to the members of FEMA and he does not sign the House Bill 503.

ImmigrationTALK

U.S. Supreme Court Reject Retroactive Application of Immigration Laws to Conviction before 1996 By Attorney Gail S. Seeram, 1-877-GAIL-LAW www.GailLaw.com

n March 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court issued an important decision, Vartelas v. Holder, No. 10-1211, rejecting the retroactive application of a provision of an immigration law passed by Congress in 1996 that has prevented many lawful permanent residents (LPRs) from returning to the United States after a trip abroad. Citing the “deeply rooted presumption” against applying new laws retroactively, the Court ruled 6-3 that LPRs who temporarily leave the country cannot be denied readmission on account of criminal convictions that occurred before the law took effect. The Justice Department argued that LPRs with certain criminal convictions may be barred from re-entering the United States any time they leave the country-even if the law in effect at the time of their guilty pleas did not make them eligible for deportation or ineligible for reentry to the United States. The Supreme Court properly rejected this argument, noting that the government’s interpretation effectively prevented such LPRs from ever leaving the country.

U.S. Supreme Court decision concludes that a returning lawful permanent resident cannot be placed in removal proceedings for a conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude that was committed before the 1996 IIRIRA laws. Temporary Status Granted for Syrians in U.S. On March 23, 2012, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano announced her intent to designate the Syrian Arab Republic for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eighteen months. On Thursday, March 29th, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that eligible Syrian nationals (and persons without nationality who last habitually resided in Syria) in the United States may begin the application process for TPS. According to the L.A. Times, “more than 10,000 people have died in the yearlong conflict, including civilians, armed dissidents and security forces, according to U.N. and Syrian government figures.”

The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country’s nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. The Secretary may designate a country for TPS due to the following temporary conditions in the country: ongoing armed conflict (such as civil war), an environmental disaster (such as earthquake or hurricane), and other extraordiIn summary, before Congress enacted the Illegal Immigration nary and temporary conditions.

Gone but not forgotten Junior Pouchet

rlando and the steelband fraternity bid farewell to founding member of the Silver Stars Steel Orchestra Junior Edgar Francis Pouchet. Among the band’s highlights was winning the title of masquerade Band of the Year in 1963 with Gulliver’s Travels, the only steel-band ever to earn that distinction. Pouchet passed away on March 24 in his sleep at his home in Orlando, Florida, USA. He was 75 years old. President of Pan Trinbago Keith Diaz spoke at the funeral, saying Pouchet served the steelband movement well for decades and at the highest levels. Diaz said he found out recently that Pouchet would do arrangements for steelbands free of charge. "I have had the good fortune to communicate with several leaders who have testimony that Junior Pouchet had done musical arrangements for their bands free of charge. In fact, it seems that Junior always felt compelled to give of his talents and skill so that less fortunate bands could progress," said Diaz. Diaz said the steelband movement and the nation, by extension, have lost a great man who has thankfully left a great legacy. Junior Pouchet is popularly known in Orlando as the man who took steel pan to Disney, Silver Stars started with them in 1971 when Disney opened - now more than 30 years later they are still there.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month

Polycarpe to mark the month with a Walk-a-Thon to raise awareness

olycarpe a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization which helps with mental health awareness outreach in Caribbean Communities has organized a walk-a-thon to raise awareness within the Caribbean community about mental health issues. Their mission is to promote mental health awareness throughout the Caribbean Community by outreach and research of current trends in treatment in order to refer clients to available services. This year, Polycarpe is celebrating over ten years of working to provide educational awareness and to remove that strong stigma put on those with a mental illness. According to representatives “Often times, during what is known as a “crisis”, the victims of mental illness find themselves in an involuntary mental health hospitalization known as a Baker Act or even worse they are incarcerated for their actions. In children, delayed diagnoses have been found to affect academic performance.” Specifically, the organization provides educational assistance to Caribbean Communities by providing funding for research & training for those affected by mental illness or those agencies that service those affected who are descendants of the Caribbean basin. Penny B. Delerme, Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Polycarpe President, states: “We are extremely motivated by the overwhelming support thus far of the WalkA-Thon and our community awareness campaign. It is through these partnerships that we can collectively affect change for the families in this region and fight stigma by eliminating the taboo of discussion of mental health amongst those of Caribbean descent. The effort to have May 5, 2012, officially recognized at the local level succeeded on March 21, 2012, when Mayor Teresa Jacobs of Orange County, FL declared that Saturday as “Caribbean Mental Health Awareness Day.” The Walk-A-Thon will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon with participant registration beginning at 8am. The Walk will be held at Blue Jacket Park on the Glenridge Middle (Track/ Field), 2501 General Reese Ave , Winter Park , FL 32789. For more information on the event or sponsorship opportunities, contact Polycarpe, Inc. at contact@polycarpe.org or visit: www.polycarpe.org.

— Marley, continued from page 1 — commonly referred to as 4/20 - is a bonus for Marley Fans and those who know the symbolism behind the date. Kevin McDonald, the Oscar-winning Director of The Last King of Scotland, has put together an "authorised" portrait of Bob Marley, with extensive input from Marley's family and close associates. The two hour, 24minute film will be accompanied with a disc that contains concert footage of four songs previously unseen, a 20-

minute interview with Bunny Wailer, an interview with Stephen Marley that did not make it into the film and 20 minutes of people all around the world speaking about Marley and his music. The two hour, 24-minute film will be accompanied with a disc that contains concert footage of four songs previously unseen, a 20-minute interview with Bunny Wailer, an interview with Stephen Marley that did not make it into the film and

20 minutes of people all around the world speaking about Marley and his music. The film sticks closely to the story of Bob Marley's rise as reggae's first international superstar with a detailed overview of Marley's life and times, from the hillside Jamaican shack where he grew up to the snowy Bavarian clinic where he spent his last weeks in a fruitless attempt to cure the cancer that killed him in 1981, aged 36. The first third of the movie is the most revelatory, with photo-

graphs of a young and cleancut Marley hacking his way through the Jamaican charts with the first, ska-influenced, incarnation of the Wailers: hits like Simmer Down and their warbling version of Teenager in Love which put them on the map in the mid-60s. Macdonald, however, offers more than a straight music biog; he grapples at length with Marley's philosophical and religious convictions, as well as his precarious place above the fray of Jamaica's post-colonial political antagonism. The film opens with a sequence inside an African slave embarkation point (dramatically named "the door of no return") and returns time and again to the knotted loyalties of Jamaican politics and Marley's attempt – through conversion to Rastafarianism – to convey a global Black Power message in his music.

Health care reform By Corrine Brown, Member of Congress

ealth care reform was in the news this week as the U.S. Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of the “insurance mandate” in the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) While the mandate targets people who can afford to buy insurance, but choose not to, I don’t know too many people like that. Do you? What’s far more important to far more people are all the other benefits the law brings. Even without the mandate, under Obamacare: • 87 million people now have access to free preventative services through private insurance and Medicare. • Over 5 million seniors and people with disabilities on Medicare have saved more than $3.1 billion on prescription drugs. • About 400,000 small businesses have claimed a tax credit for up to 35% of their health insurance premiums. • 18 million children can no longer be denied coverage because they have pre-existing conditions. • Over 2.5 million young adults without insurance can now stay on their parents’ plans. This is just the beginning. When the law is fully implemented, 30 million people will have insurance they could not afford previously and everyone will have more secure health care than ever before. Learn more at http://www.healthcare.gov. So, when you hear people bashing Obamacare, ask yourself who has taken actions that show they care about your health. Obamacare means President Obama cares and I care and no matter what the Court decides, we will keep fighting for better health care for all Americans.

ach month, Caribbean American Passport (CAP) magazine allocates a page to the Greater Haitian American Chamber of Commerce (GHACC) as part of its community partnership program.

One of which is a “Direct Flight Survey” being con-

ducted to assess the need for a direct flight from Orlando to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. If you ever had to travel to Haiti from Orlando or know someone who has, you may be aware of all the hassle you must go through. Most people usually have to drive to the Fort-Lauderdale or Miami Airport to catch a flight. There have been many reports of accidents and even lost of lives in that journey. We hope that if enough people participate in the survey that we may be able to persuade one of the Airlines of the current need for such a direct flight. If you or someone you know travels to Haiti even once every few years, we ask to you go to our web site www.GHACC.org and click on the link to participate in this survey. Another ongoing project is our online Business directory. It is a collection of all Creole and Haitian owned businesses in our community. We need your help in order to make this a thorough and complete list. Go to our Web Site and click on the “Directory” and look for where it says “click Here to enlist your business”. This link will take you to a short form that will collect information about you and your business. Once you hit submit we will receive and post that information on our Web Site. Our goal, ultimately, is to print this directory and have it available everywhere. Also, we have a couple of events we would like to make sure you are aware of. In last month’s issue of CAP, we informed you about the Citizenship and Voter Registration Drives taking place on May 12th from 11 am to 2 pm at the Magic Mall Plaza. We will be providing the application and information to help you through the process of becoming an American Citizen. Because this is an election year, we hope to see everyone, who is eligible, register to vote so that we may make our voices known. Secondly, GHACC will be hosting a Business After-Hour Mixer taking place on April 25th at the Majestic located on John Young and Colonial drive from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm. This is a free event (for those who register at www.GHACC.org and a great opportunity to mix and mingle with other local business professionals.

BRYAN AND GARY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING A PUBLIC FORUM FOR SOME OF THE MOST PROV OCATIVE AND VO THOUGHT PROVOKING TOPICS THAT DEAL WITH EVERYDAY LIFE. TODAY THEY’RE ASKING THE QUESTION: IS IT EVER O.K TO INVITE A THIRD PARTY INTO YOUR BED? GARY: Bryan, we recently received a letter from one of our listeners/readers and the letter goes like this:

PIMP you out to her friend just like that.

Dear Bryan and Gary,

BRYAN: Awww My Friend, this wouldn’t be just some woman. This is your wife and the bible says that your body is hers and hers yours.

I listen to you guys all the time and I hope you can help me. My husband and I have had our share of problems with cheating. He stepped out of the relationship once before and I took him back. Since then things have been great and I would like to keep it that way. GARY: Please do not bring Recently my mother has taken ill and my assistance for the next 6 the BIBLE into this, because months is needed. She has always been there for me and my kids and this is not supported in there. she has NEVER asked me for ANYTHING in return. So as a matter of Further more, are you telling obligation, I have to go to her side. Now, Because I know I will have to me that if the roles were rego soon, I mentioned to my BEST FRIEND of 13years that I was conversed, you would do the same cerned about leaving my husband unattended and she jokingly asked Bryan for her? if I would like for her to fill in while I was gone. She laughed, but I thought about it very seriously. I wanted to do something, and I trust my friend completely, so I asked her if she could assist with my wifely BRYAN: YUH MAD, YUH CRAZY? duties while I was gone and without hesitation, she agreed. That just tells me she is truly a friend. Guys, I love my husband very much and GARY: EXACTLY, so why would you accept that from her? it is my job to make sure he is taken care of, but do you think that this BRYAN: Look man, I think you are missing the point. First of decision will back fire on me? all, not because I wouldn’t do it, doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with this woman wanting to preserve her reSigned....A Good Woman lationship. Second of all, any woman that is willing to make BRYAN: WOW, she is a GOOD that sacrifice for me would just make me love them more. How could you say NO to such a selfless act? I would tell her to tell WOMAN indeed. the friend to come on. GARY: What would you do in a situation like this Mr. B? GARY: LOL, Next thing you know the friend is driving this girl’s car, trying on her clothes, and getting too comfortBRYAN: You mean, if I was her able in her bed. LOL. Bwoy, every time I think I know you, you surprise the hell out of me. And the funny thing is, your husband? argument isn’t completely HOG-WASH as usual, so I guess whatever floats her boat. GARY: Yeah!

Gary WOULDN’T IT? GARY:

BRYAN: Well seeing as how she went through all that trouble for me, it would seem ungrateful if I didn’t oblige her.

BRYAN: Exactly, if this works for them, then who are we to criticize? As to the question, “Whether or not this would backfire on her?” Only time will tell. It could as well as it might not, but I’m curious to find out what our readers think. Is it ever O.K. to invite a 3rd party into your bed????

HA HA HA, I’m sure you would.

BRYAN: I hate disappointing women Gary, But what would you do? GARY: Well first of all I would probably have to get her head examined, because only a MAD WOMAN would suggest something like that. Then I would kindly let her know that I am not a piece a meat that she can just pass around to any and everybody. BRYAN: Yuh see Gary this is where you and I have to disagree. Do you have any idea as to the thought and consideration that would have to go into a decision like this? The kind of sacrifice that a woman would have to be willing to make to ensure that her MAN would be happy? That kind of LOVE should not be taken lightly my friend. That LEVEL of COMITTMENT to a relationship should not be looked down on. If anything, it should be praised and admired. GARY: Bryan Quit the Crap? This is me you’re talking to. There is no way you are going to let some woman

Millenium Eye Care center MEET & GREET MIXER MARCH 29, 2012

Nothing is more precious than your sight!

By Dr. Lauretta Justin

“Nothing is more precious than your sight!” If you lose a tooth it can be replaced, but your eye is different a story. You only have one pair—so take good care on it. “Your vision processes 36,000 bits of information per hour. It is also responsible for 85% of what you know. We believe that your success begins with clear vision.” Therefore, we recommend annual eye for children and adult. We live in a visual society; as a result, we depend primarily on our sight to be productive. Vision impairments and abnormalities can severely impede our success and activities of daily living. This in no way implies that the visually impaired are not successful individuals. In fact, there are many blind and visually impaired individuals who are very successful. However, most would probably agree that there is nothing more precious than sight. As a result, choosing the right eye care provider is essential for good eye health.

It is a pleasure to introduce to the Metro Orlando area, Dr. Lauretta Seide-Justin. She is the founder and the owner of Millennium Eye Center, Inc., the only black owned and operated eyecare center in Orlando, Florida. Dr. Justin received her Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree from the prestigious New England College of Optometry, Boston, Massachusetts . She graduated with clinical honors. Dr. Justin is Board Certified to practice Optometry by the State of Florida Department of Health. She has a vast knowledge of optometric theories and methods, and specializes in primary care optometry. She routinely treats eye diseases such as Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Allergies and Dry Eye conditions. Dr. Justin is an active member of the American Optometric Association, the Florida Optometric Association and the Central Florida Society of Optometrists. She is member of the Vision Source Network of Premier Optometrists. She is the epitome of integrity and professionalism. She is blazing a trail for others to follow by becoming the first black female to own a private optometric practice in Metro West Orlando.

Life Worth Living Pharmacy and Nirvana Health Services announce joint venture agreement as Life Worth Living Pharmacy prepares to launch Life Worth Living Health Center

roviding more focus on patient care and not simply prescriptions, Life Worth Living Health Center is evolving from a compounder and supplier of medicines toward that of a provider of total patient care. Life Worth Living Pharmacy and Nirvana Health Services announced today that they have entered into a joint venture agreement. The purpose of this partnership is to help both companies to better serve the central Florida community by providing patients with greater health care options and comprehensive wellness programs. It also better positions the two companies to meet the needs of the rapidly changing healthcare industry. More healthcare services are projected to be provided in the home or at alternate sites of administration, which is in line with Life Worth Living Pharmacy’s patient service model for its infusion and pharmacy business. According to Elizabeth Ayotunde, Vice President of Life Worth Living Pharmacy, “the favorable demographic trends including aging of the U.S. population, which is driving the demand for at home care, and the need for cost containment and to reduce hospital re-admission rates, all favor growth in the Infusion/ Home Health industry. To that end we are proud to offer our

patients and caregivers a new level of support and choice with this joint venture agreement”. Life Worth Living Pharmacy is based in Metro West and is a full service pharmacy that also offers compounding services. The Life Worth Living Health Center will offer a health studio, healthy eating, full service spa, cooking classes and other health and wellness related services. Leo Mendez, President and CEO of Nirvana Health Services in a statement said that “the outstanding Nirvana Health Services reputation developed over the last nineteen years, combined with the health management products and services offered by Life Worth Living pharmacy will provide a complete healthcare menu for our patients and customers. In addition, both companies will enjoy economies of scale as they continue to increase market share and expand service areas”. Nirvana Health Services has been providing specialty nursing, in-home therapy and home health aide services since 1994. The Medicare certified home health agency covers a seven-county area, including Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia counties with offices in Winter Park and Leesburg. Nirvana Health Services employs registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, medical social workers and home health aides to provide care in the patient’s home.
