BRONX: he longtime director of a Bronx youth group has been indicted on charges she stole $112,000 from a state-administered, federally-funded grant to support after-school programs for middle school children.

Earnestine Russell, 66, of 1930 Schiefflin Ave., Bronx, who has run the Baychester Youth Council since the 1980s, was indicted on second-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal possession of stolen property. She was arraigned on July 6, before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Steven Barrett. Bail was set at $30,000 cash and an examination of surety. Russell is due back in court on August 9, 2016. According to the investigation by the Bronx District Attorney’s Office and the State Comptroller’s Office, in 2008, Russell received a federal grant, administered by the New York State Education Department, for more than $2.7 million over five years to create a 21st century community Learning center.

The State Comptroller’s Office audited Russell in 2012 and found she used $250,400 for inappropriate or undocumented expenses--including a home theater system -- and the grant was revoked. The Bronx DA’s Office began investigating and found that Russell had moved the grant money through numerous bank accounts. Russell made cash withdrawals, wrote checks to cash, to her self or to family, and made wire transfers from the accounts. When confronted with records that also showed gambling more than $150,000 during the fraud period of 2009-2011, Russell first denied betting, then explained the figures also showed winnings she bet.

Is the Mayor instructing police officer to kill unarmed African Americans?

omething is alarmingly wrong in American today when all too frequent news headlines trumpet stories of “unarmed” African Americans being harassed, injured or killed by police. In fact, the influential mappingpoliceviolence.org reported that police killed at least 102 unarmed black people in 2015, nearly two each week. The report claims that nearly 1 in 3 black people killed by police in 2015 were identified as unarmed, though the actual number is likely higher due to underreporting. It is also disturbing to learn that 37 percent of unarmed people killed by police in 2015 were black. Yet, blacks represent only 13 percent of the U.S. population. According to the data, unarmed black people were killed at 5 times the rate of unarmed whites.

With just about five months to go in 2016 and already 160 reported deaths at the hands of police, the end-of-year numbers may be staggering as unarmed blacks continue to be the target of police officers under the supreme command of a politically-elected Mayor. Many people label these disruptive and irrational police officers as simply “racially prejudiced” people who have no love for black people. But, we think the behavior of “racially prejudiced” police could be a directive -- or a poor command or instruction -- from their superior officers. As in most jurisdictions, the police and other law enforcement agencies derive authority from the local governing body that created it. For example, the New York City Council is the oversight body for the New York Police Department (NYPD).

patrick@streethype.net

The NYC mayor appoints a police commissioner as well as provides the overall policy and mission that he would like the law enforcement officers to achieve.

In other words, the Mayor is the commander-in-chief of the police force. It has never been our opinion that the mayor would be instructing the police officers to kill unarmed African Americans or to practice “racism.” But how do we explain the frequency of such callous deeds on the same set of people? The Mayor and his police commissioner should therefore be held accountable for the actions or the discriminatory behavior of the police under their command. Solving police crime against blacks requires a political solution. We should not be voting for a Democratic or Republican candidate, but a person who is willing to command a police team that respects and acknowledges that #blacklivesmatter.

ood day folks. The weekend past, produced more bloodshed and wonderment, and I am thinking that somewhere, out there, something, someone, is under siege! Which brings up the question. Are we now settling our disputes in the court of lawlessness? Did this matter of jungle justice just happen upon us? Right off the bat, this eye for an eye approach is not going to work. Folks, there is much danger lurking around the corner and as Reggae Jambassador Ini Kamoze crooned some decades ago, 'out in di street, they call it murder!' We don't want no more of that, please! And I always remind myself that if you do not stand up for something, you will fall for nothing! Now that a stand has been taken and painfully so, that all lives matter, where do we go from here? To spend time giving direction and focus to one subset of the society, however financially influential and colorful s/he/it might be, is wrong now and forever will be. I'm not a pessimist but I offer, in this space, in this forum, that the time to recalibrate the GPS of this nation, of these United States, is short. I further offer that that window of opportunity is closing, starting today in Ohio! Americans, born and naturalized, holders of ARCs, families and friends, will be out in their numbers today through Thursday,

People Are Talking...!

By Audrey Campbell www.caribzone.nyc

to make the case for Donald Trump to be the next POTUS! At an event in South Florida on the weekend, it was interesting to hear the host making an appeal to the audience to go out and vote in the local primaries, set for August 30, and then the national (presidential) elections in November. After all that was said and implied, my take away was that your vote, every vote will matter, big time! It's the sign of the times, the kind of world we are living in! Which brings me to another point of view as shared so well on the pages of the Weekly Gleaner North American - edition of July 14 - 20. It has to do with a story written by Dervan Malcolm, broadcaster turned journalist. And guess what the story is about, the hydra headed monster that is the Jamaican Diaspora! Folks, do it for you. Get a copy and read the story, which starts on the front page and jumps

to page 3, so you know it's a hot topic. And Mass Dervan did it justice, no fluff. Same so him get it, same way 'im sell it.....oops, write it! What is interesting is that Mr. Malcolm is most conversant with the subject and knows the 'players', and here, I want you to apply the street meaning to the word 'players'. From his 'power' base in capital city Killsome, DM's antenna reaches far and wide but for this piece, he was right there in Central Florida, for the end of month (June) staging of the Southeastern regional conference of the Jamaica Diaspora, where attorney Wayne Golding is the ABM. I honestly did not know that there is someone else on this planet that shares my view of a distorted, dysfunctional Diaspora. With all the treats, real and imagined, talk of defamation suits

and for me to 'tek whey mi self outta big people bizniz', you would think that I'm a troublemaker and rabble-rouser? I was otherwise engaged and could not make either conference, even though I was in New York City on June 9, only for me to hear by way of a message that the conferences that I wanted to fail, were both very successful and that I should 'eat my heart out'! Well, seet deh now, 'tory cum to bump! Another exercise in futility. Tell the folks at the Gleaner Company and Power 106 FM, that Mr. Malcolm's story was not fit for print. And wait til you si whofa and whofa name call up ina dis 'tory, then you will understand that what ails the Diaspora movement is bigger that Joan Pinnock, and was bigger than Irwine Clare, Sr; Patrick Beckford and others before them.

Queens Council Members Unveil Foreclosure Buyback Program

QUEENS: ome elected officials and several nonprofits in Queens are taking part in a new initiative aimed at helping homeowners get out of foreclosure and increasing affordable housing. Under the "Foreclosure Buyback Pilot Program," non-profits can buy back distressed mortgages from federal government entities such as Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac, giving families the opportunity to refinance with the organization and stay in their homes. If that's not possible, local non-profits or municipalities can bid on the distressed properties and then convert them into affordable housing.

After School Director Indicted For Stealing fed Money

Continued from page 1 State Comptroller DiNapoli added that Russell allegedly “took public money intended to give children a safe and nurturing place to go after school and spent it on personal trips and electronic equipment for herself. After my office found her theft, we worked closely with Bronx County District Attorney Darcel D. Clark and her staff to make certain that Ms. Russell is held accountable.” The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Markus Sztejnberg of the Economic Crimes Bureau and Jeffrey Glucksman, Chief of Trial Bureau 70, under the supervision of William Zelenka, Chief of the Economic Crimes Bureau, and Jean T. Walsh, Chief of the Investigations Division.

I. Daneek Miller

Previously, only private equity and hedge funds could purchase these properties. "They know our communities, and we want to ensure that no hedge funds had hands in these

loans, but people who would have interest that our communities are built up, would actually get their hands on these loans, and put it back out and keep people in their homes," said City Councilor Donovan Richards of Queens. Ruben Wills Councilors I. Daneek Miller, Ruben Wills, and Richards are involved in the program and say it is the first of its kind in the nation.

Since the pilot program launched earlier this month, the city has purchased 24 distressed mortgages, including six in Jamaica, Queens. Under the "Foreclosure Buyback Pilot Program," non-profits can buy back distressed mortgages from federal government entities such as Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac, giving families the opportunity to refinance with the organization and stay in their homes.

Officials say that of the foreclosures in city over the last few years, about 30 percent are in Southeast Queens. They added that since the housing bubble of 2008, Southeast Queens has become of one of the largest communities in the country where families are facing foreclosure.

First Baby Born With Zika-Related Microcephaly

he Health Department on Friday reported the first baby delivered with Zika-related microcephaly at a hospital in New York City. The baby and mother are currently in care and being monitored by physicians. The baby’s mother was infected while in an area with ongoing Zika transmission. The baby has been diagnosed with microcephaly – or a smaller than normal head – and other brain problems. Tests have determined that the baby is positive for Zika. The Health Department is working closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on this case. “Today, I am the bearer of sad news: we have confirmed New York City’s first baby born with microcephaly associated with the

microcephaly baby – a smaller than normal head Zika virus,” said Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Dr. Herminia Palacio. “The City has been preparing for this scenario for many months now, and we stand ready to help families caring for an infant with micro-

cephaly. This case is a sad reminder that Zika can have tragic consequences for pregnant women." “While not surprising, given the travel trends of our global city, this case is a strong reminder of the tragic consequences of the Zika virus. We are monitoring the baby’s health closely and connecting the family with the necessary services to take care of their child,” said New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett. “I remind all pregnant women in New York City, and those trying to get pregnant, that they should delay travel to places where there is active Zika transmission. As we see today, the consequences for the child can be devastating.”

BRONX: olice are looking for a man who allegedly shot a Bronx bar owner Friday after, according to sources, he refused to serve him alcohol. The city police department said it happened around 1 a.m. the bar El Rey de Copas, off of Allerton Avenue and White Plains Road in Allerton. Police are looking for the person in the surveillance photo above. Authorities said the 52-year-old bar owner was shot in the neck and chest.

Former Mt. Vernon Water Commish gets 15 months in bribery case

By AJ Woodson Editor-In-Chief at Black Westchester

A BRONX WOMAN AT 100:

New York City Council Member Andy King presents a NYC Council Proclamation to Ann E. Codrington of the Bronx in celebration of her 100th birthday on Saturday (July 23) at Dreiser Community Center, 177 Dreiser Loop, Co-op City, Bronx. Codrington was born on July 23, 1916 in Estate Grove Place, to parents Lillian Sutton and William Codrington, on the beautiful island of Saint Croix, USVI. She attended Diamond School until the 6th grade when she was pulled out of school and sent to work cutting cane for the Diamond Rum Distillery and helping raise her five siblings. It was challenging work and she earned .25 each day. For about 10 years, Ann worked as a nanny for several Dutch families, all while raising her own three children: Lucida, who she calls “Lue,” and Winston, better known as “Lano,” both are deceased.

MOUNT VERNON: nthony Bove, Mount Vernon’s former Board of Water Supply Commissioner was sentenced on Friday to 15 months in prison for soliciting a $10,000 bribe from an employee of the Water Department, and lying to federal law enforcement officers when Bove was interviewed during the investigation., U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara said. Forty-eight-year-old Bove of North Salem, pled guilty and admitted before U.S. District Judge Vincent L. Briccetti, who imposed today’s sentence, to one count of bribery and one count of making a false statement to law enforcement officers, Tuesday, March 22, 2016. U.S. Attorney Bharara said: “While entrusted to provide clean and safe water for the people of Mount Vernon, Anthony Bove looked out only for himself, demanding a bribe from one of his own employees for a promotion to which the employee was already entitled. For this shameful corruption, Bove has been sentenced to 15 months in prison.” According to the Information, statements made in open court, and other documents in the public record:In the spring of 2015, while serving as the Water Commissioner, Bove solicited a

ANTHONY BOVE Mount Vernon’s former Board of Water Supply Commissioner

$10,000 bribe from a Water Department employee, Anthony Della Mura (“the Employee”) in exchange for approving the Employee’s promotion within the Water Department. The Employee, who was serving in a provisional capacity as the bookkeeper of the Water Department, had passed a civil service bookkeeping examination in order to become eligible for a permanent bookkeeping position at the Water Department. After receiving the test results, the Employee completed the necessary form to apply for the permanent

bookkeeping position, and submitted it to Bove for his approval and signature, which was required for the promotion to occur. Bove did not approve the application; instead, on April 14, 2015, Bove told the Employee to meet him at Memorial Field in Mount Vernon. At Memorial Field, Bove conveyed to the Employee that he would not approve the Employee’s promotion unless the Employee gave Bove $10,000, and that the Employee could give Bove half ($5,000) up front and pay the balance later. On December 7, 2015, a Special Agent from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General (“HUD OIG”), and a Criminal Investigator from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York interviewed Bove in connection with a federal investigation into whether Bove had attempted to extort the Employee. During the interview, Bove lied to the investigating agents, stating, in sum and substance, that he had never asked for money to approve a job promotion for anyone in his department. In sentencing Bove, Judge Briccetti described Bove’s conduct as “a disgrace.” In addition to the prison sentence, Judge Briccetti ordered Bove to pay a $10,000 fine and a $200 special assessment fee. Bove also was sentenced to two years of supervised release.

Renewed call for regional sex offender registry

World Bank Recruitment Drive for Caribbean Nationals

he World Bank is seriously trying increase the Caribbean representation on its staff. Applicants must be in possession of a Caribbean Passport – and cannot be US Citizens. And such is the urgency of the need that even people who are already retired from work in the Caribbean are welcome to apply - and have been applying. If the Caribbean cannot fill its “quota” the shortfall goes to other regions of the world. WB’s health and retirement benefits are very good; and employee turnover is low. Minimum qualifications for entry level positions include a Master's degree plus 5 years of relevant professional experience. For midcareer professionals, the minimum requirements are a Master's degree plus 8 years of relevant professional experience. Shortlisted candidates may be contacted as early as August 2016 for interviews which may be conducted in Washington, D.C. or locations in Caribbean. Interviews will be conducted through September 2016. For any further inquiries, contact Caribbean Recruitment Mission. Go to www.worldbank.org/caribbean-recruitment

Multi-billion-dollar litigation begins in the Cayman Islands

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands -- The world’s spotlight is on the Cayman Islands courts with the largest trial in the history of the jurisdiction, with billions of dollars at stake, which began on Tuesday. The case, to be presided over by Chief Justice Anthony Smellie, involves worldwide allegations of fraud, forgery and conspiracy arising from a credit crisis involving a large family conglomerate in the Middle East and financial institutions in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, London, New York, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands. Borrowings from some 118 banks worldwide are central to the case. The hearing will be the actual trial, jurisdictional and other interim challenges having been argued and resolved in other hearings taking the case all the way to the UK Privy Council, the highest court of appeal for the British territory. The Cayman Islands courts have blocked out seven months for the trial, to be followed by two to three months for deliberations and writing of the judgment by the islands’ chief justice.

Costa Rican woman candidate vying for United Nations top job

NEW YORK, NY: Costa Rican woman is in the running for the position of secretary general of the United Nations. Christiana Figueres was nominated by the government of her home country in early July. As of now, there are 11 candidates to succeed Korean Ban Ki-moon, the current UN secretary general, whose tenure concludes January 1, 2017. The UN has never had a female secretary general in its 70-year history, and some argue it's time for a woman to be at the helm. However, Figueres isn’t the only woman nominated. Argentinian Susana Malcorra, Croatian politician Vesna Pusic, UNESCO director-general Irina Bokova of Bulgaria, former Moldovan

chancellor Natalia Gherman, and former New Zealand prime minister and current administrator of the UN Development Programme Helen Clark are all being considered. Economist and Christiana Figeres analyst Figueres is the daughter of José Figueres Ferrer, who served three times as president of Costa Rica. Currently, she is the executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and participated in the talks for that convention and the Kyoto Protocol.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad: ollowing claims by the prime minister of Saint Lucia Allen Chastanet that criminal deportees from the US are a burden on the Caribbean region, the Caribbean Committee against Sex Crimes (CCSC) said it is keen to work with both the Saint Lucian and US governments to enact the necessary policies to comply with international best practice, with regard to sex crimes in the Caribbean region. With regard to sex offenders, Saint Lucia, like the majority of the Caribbean region, does not have an official sex offender registry database. Ideally, a registered sex offender deported from the US to Saint Lucia would be automatically registered on a sex offender registry in St. Lucia. However, such a registry does not yet exist. Further, crucial policies that are essential by-products of sex offender registries, such as legislation to prevent sex offenders with certain inclinations from having certain jobs are also lacking. e.g. a pedophile not being able to have a job at a kindergarten, CCSC noted. To this end, CCSC has drafted a treaty, which, when enacted, would mandate that every Caribbean island has its own local sex offender registry. These local registries would then be amalgamated to create a regional registry, which would be accessible to the US government and other international stakeholders. A regional registry is necessary, CCSC said, because of the freedom of movement facilitated by the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas, which establishes the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME). If one or several Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states fail to implement sex offender registry policies, this can significantly undermine regional security by allowing sex offenders to travel to other CARICOM states undetected. This can result in further sex crimes being committed.

Understanding Social Security by

Maurice D. Maitland, Esq.

Get a special examination for your disability – What to Do?

efore a final decision is made to grant you social security or Supplemental Security Income benefits, you need to do a special medical evaluation. The Social Security Administration will pay for you to have a special exam or medical test. They will also pay for certain travel expenses related to your special medical exam. The doctors will then forward the results to the Disability Determination Services (DDS).

Should I be Scared?

There is no need to be afraid. You should take the exam and cooperate with the doctor examining you. If you cannot make the appointment, you can call ahead of time to reschedule. The doctor’s job is to exam the medical issues that you have. The doctor will not determine if you are disabled.

What If the DDS Says That I Am Not Disabled?

It is always a possibility that the DDS may determine that your impairments do not render you disabled and unable to work competitively. The Social Security Administration will communicate the unfavorable decision in writing. If you do not agree with the outcome of your application, you can file an appeal. Even though the SSA will tell you how to file an appeal, many claimants often become confused in the appeal process. There is no need to be frustrated by the complexity of an appeal. A Social Security Disability attorney can help you prepare your appeal.

Bolt accuses rival Gatlin of 'disrespect'

Usain Bolt

LONDON: sain Bolt has reignited his rivalry with fellow sprinter Justin Gatlin, accusing the American of ‘disrespect’, just two weeks before the Rio Olympics.

Brushing aside any concerns about the hamstring injury which forced him to withdraw from his country's Olympic trials earlier this month, the Jamaican sprint king ran a solid time of 19. 89sec in his first competitive 200m of this season in London on Friday. Bolt had received a medical exemption to miss the Jamaican trials -- sparking claims from Gatlin and a number of US sprinters who said he had preferential treatment that he would not receive were he American. Bolt laughed off the criticism led by Gatlin, who has served two bans for doping. "For me I felt it was a joke, I felt it was a disrespect they think I'd back out of a trials," he said.

Jamaican students get US scholarship:

Ambassador Dr Nigel Clarke, chairman of the National Youth Orchestra of Jamaica (centre), is flanked by scholarship winners (l-r) Kamoy Gordon, Ian Crossbourne, Kymani Calder, and Devoy Ellis. The students recently left the island to represent Jamaica for four weeks at the prestigious Luzerne Music Centre, Lake Luzerne in New York. The camp ends on August 13. They were among hundreds who auditioned for the camp. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet other musicians from around the world and also to exchange different cultures and feelings through music, which is our common language,” said Calder, who is a trombonist. Crossbourne echoed similar sentiments. The Luzerne Music Center (LMC) runs a summer music programme and performing arts centre where pre-college students who play strings, piano, brass, woodwind or percussion instruments live in residence at the camp, study music with members of the Philadelphia Orchestra and perform concerts for eight weeks of the summer.

Jamaica celebrates 54th anniversary of Independence

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

n February 1962, a new Constitution was approved by the Legislature and the Premier Norman Manley called General Elections. Alexander Bustamante was elected in April and became the first Prime Minister of Jamaica. On August 6, 1962, Jamaica became an Independent Nation and a member of the British Commonwealth. Jamaica becoming an Independent Nation, now meant that Britain, no longer controlled the affairs of the country. It was now the responsibility of the newly elected Prime Minister and the locally elected Cabinet. Independence also meant that a Constitution, symbols, emblems, an army, Jamaican currency and passports had to be developed for the country. As an Independent Nation, Jamaica assigns Ambassadors overseas who represent the country. They sign treaties on behalf of Jamaica and become members of various international organizations. This is important, as it gives Jamaica equal rights on various issues relating to international trade, policies and treaties.

hree men have been arrested and charged with attempted murder in connection with shooting and seriously wounding a bouncer who kicked them out of a South Hackensack NJ go-go-bar last weekend for not paying a bill, according to township police.

Stickups and an attempted robbery in Paterson

PATERSON: uthorities say four men in a black BMW committed two early morning stickups and an attempted robbery in Paterson within a 20minute period on July 23rd. Police officers from Clifton and Passaic pursued the BMW along Route 21 after the holdups early Thursday, but the men escaped in the Newark area, authorities said. The first robbery happened on Governor Street, just east of Rosa Parks Boulevard at 4:30 a.m. A man and a woman were outside a house when the BMW stopped and four men — several of them with guns — got out and

demanded money, police said. They took the man’s belongings and drove off. At about 4:40 a.m., the black BMW pulled up alongside another vehicle heading into a parking lot on Getty Avenue, near Park Street, and one of the gunmen tapped his handgun against the other vehicle’s window. The driver of the other car hit the gas and escaped into the parking lot, at which point the men in the BMW drove away, police said. At 4:49 a.m., the BMW pulled alongside a man walking near the corner of Main and Thomas streets; two men got out of the car with guns and took the man’s wallet, police said.

Beware of Dirty Salons!

By Jessica Boden, Newyou.com ind out what to look for the next time you go to a beauty salon or spa and how it can affect your health. The beauty salon or spa is supposed to be every woman’s safe haven where she can relax and unwind without worry. Yet as it turns out, and unkempt salon can lead to lice, fungal infections and other health risks. Before you commit to the chair or treatment room, look around and investi-

gate. The extra time you take to ensure your well being is well worth the effort. Is the salon tidy? • Look around. Is there hair everywhere? • Do the brushes, capes, towels, and other linens have hair or debris in them? • Are color bowls and brushes sitting around unattended? • Are the rollers dirty or dingy? • Are combs, scissors and other reusable tools on the counter instead of inside a sanitizing jar?

WWW.STREETHYPENEWSPAPER.COM

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you may want to consider your salon of choice. Investigate. • Find out if anyone has been to the salon or spa you’re planning to visit and ask about his or her experience. • Also, check with the Better Business Bureau and online forums to see if there have been any complaints. • A place with a good reputation is more likely to take pride in its facilities and keep them clean.

18 â&#x20AC;˘ STREET HYPE NEWSPAPER â&#x20AC;˘ JULY 19-31, 2016

Dear Divine Diva: have a love problem I could use your help with. I go to college, and I met an amazing girl, "Lorena," here. She's very religious, which I like about her. We have been talking, but I'm afraid to ask her out. I don't have the best morals, and I'm afraid I would corrupt her if we did go out. I don't want to make her into something she isn't. Should I let her be who she is, or take the risk of dating her and hope she'll be happy? When I think about Lorena, I realize I'd do anything for her- even change my life. Please tell me what to do. -- Wild Man In New Jersey Dear Wild Man: Feeling as you do about Lorena, I think you should take the risk and ask her out. Because you would do "anything" for her, make it your top priority not to push her into anything you know wouldn't be good for her. You wouldn't be the first "wild man" to meet someone who made him want to be a better man. I wish you luck.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Always Divine Diva

ADVICE COLUMN BY DIVINE DIVA divinestreethype@gmail.com

Sister's Demands on Her Family Get Pushback From Mom

Dear Divine Diva: y sister "Beth" has a boyfriend, "Danny." They have a 6-monthold baby girl. Neither one has a driver's

license, and they both have low-paying part-time jobs. Beth expects us to baby-sit, take her to the doctor, etc. Mom is now starting to refuse to do more than baby-sit on Sunday, because she says Beth needs to get her license and look for a better job, and it won't happen until she's "pushed to the wall." Only then will she realize she has to. I agree, but I feel Beth and Danny should pursue their dreams. It takes money to get a license, and where we live there is no public transportation. What's your take on this tug-of-war? -- Big Brother In Conneticut

Dear Big Brother: Listen to your mother. The chances of your sister and her boyfriend attaining their dreams while working at low-paying part-time jobs are not great. What they need now is help in gaining their independence. While your mother may have put it in harsh terms, she has the right idea.-Always Divine Diva

Five Tips for Your Summer Family Cookout

Family Features: re your backyard barbecues feeling humdrum? Spice up your summer cookout with fun-filled games, grilled treats and more. With these five ideas, you can turn your backyard into a summer bonanza for the entire family:

1. Add ambiance to your evening. Take your cookout into the sunset and light it up to continue your gathering into the evening. String some whimsical lights around tree branches, place along the picnic tables or wrap along the back fence. With some summer jams playing and an added glow to your space, you’ll make family memories throughout the night. 2. Cook out in style. Grill your meat and veggies in style by piecing all your favorite items together to build scrumptious kabobs. Grab some pineapple chunks, veggies and meat, and have the kids help piece together their own kabobs for the cookout.

3. Take S’mores beyond the campfire. What better way to celebrate summer than to combine smooth Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars, crunchy graham crackers and sweet marshmallows to create a delicious taste experience for the entire family? You can even make them right on the grill. Or, if you’re in the mood to try something different, whip up S’mores Dip and share your creation using the hashtag #HelloHershey. 4. Make sweet table weights. Fill mason jars with Hershey’s Kisses Milk Chocolates for an easy DIY solution to hold down the corners on your tablecloths. You can even give them away as favors for your guests to take home.

5. Bring back childhood games. Challenge the kids to an old favorite, like kickball, tag or even a water gun fight. Bring everyone outside by hosting a competition for the whole neighborhood. With all of the delicious food coming off the grill, a game is a great way to get everyone moving after dinner. For more gooey, chocolatey recipes and fun summer ideas, visit Hersheys.com.

S’mores Dip Prep time: 6 minutes; Makes: 1 cup 3 Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars (1.55 ounces) 3 tablespoons heavy cream 1/2-3/4 cup miniature marshmallows graham crackers, for serving Heat oven to 350 F. Remove wrappers from chocolate bars; break into pieces. Place chocolate pieces and heavy cream in microwave-safe and ovenproof ramekin or cassolette. Microwave 30 seconds on medium; stir. If necessary, microwave 10 seconds more and stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Cover surface of chocolate mixture with marshmallows. Heat in oven 10-12 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffed and just beginning to brown. Remove from oven; cool 5 minutes. Serve with graham cracker pieces. Note: Recipe amounts can be increased or decreased. Each chocolate bar used will require 1 tablespoon heavy cream.

Diets are made up of three main components, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Each of these components impact your body differently, and all three are needed in differing amounts to keep your body healthy. Some may have heard that too much sugar or carbohydrate can lead to weight gain. Therefore, many are trying to cut back on carbs. This is hard to do because most of the foods we consume are carb-rich. So what should we replace those carbs with?
