Tea TimeTea TimeTea TimeTea TimeTea TimeThis past Saturday was Tea Time for the Jamaican American

Association. All that was missing was the crumpets, but thesewere quite aptly replaced by assorted Jamaican goodies.

The association held its third annual fund-raising tea at the MarksStreet Senior Center to raise funds for disaster relief. The eventwas well attended and supported by organization members andguests. The entertainment provided included dancing by the Car-ibbean Cuties, an all-girl group performing to Jamaican and Car-ibbean rhythms.

Also entertaining was the popular Leo James, who has been play-ing the steel drums for the past fifty-five years, and M.C. Jesse Run-ner. Highlighting the entertainment portion of the program was afashion show by Divinely Adorned Fashion, showcasing what de-signer Marcela described as “resort wear”, which included gownsand other items suitable for cruising.

Hats off to Mrs. Hyacinth Bulgin, who won the best hat competi-tion, sponsored by the Caribbean Passport.

I always leave this column as the last thing I write before Isend the paper to print. Most of the time, I have no ideawhat the column will be about, I wait and when inspira-

tion hits - I write. This month’s column proved to be very hardto write...I have been struggling with the vision of the paper in

light of the recent arrest of one of our Caribbean restauarantowners...do I run a story on it...do I not. Isn’t this supposed tobe about the Caribbean Community here in Central Florida soshouldn’t we print the good and the bad?

From the beginning, I set out to produce a News Magazine tocelebrate the diversity and beauty of the Caribbean Culturehere in Central Florida. I have marveled at the many wonder-ful things that Caribbean people are doing here to pass on theculture to the next generation and I’ve always wished that morepeople could know that there are amazing people working veryhard to promote Caribbean Culture here. This paper was mychance to do that! But, I still couldn’t get past the thought ofshould I air his side of the story...is that what we should pro-vide to Caribbean people in this area - a chance to have theirvoice heard?

In the midst of this turmoil, I went to a luncheon for the Jamai-can Ambassador to the United States, Her Excellency Audrey P.Marks and ConsulGeneral, SandraGrant Griffithshosted by the Carib-bean Bar Associa-tion and the Jamai-can American Asso-ciation of CentralFlorida. Ambassa-dor Marks is the firstfemale Jamaicanambassador to theUnited States and avery admirable oneas well. In her re-marks at the lun-cheon, AmbassadorMarks stressed thatpart of her mission was to focus on increasing trade and invest-ments but also to promote the historically strong ties betweenJamaica and the United States especially with the many Jamai-cans living in the United States, noting sterling contributions tothe building of “this great country, the United States of America,”by generations of immigrants from Jamaica, famously begin-ning with one of the early Jamaican immigrants, John BrownRusswurm, one of the first black graduates of a U.S. college.

The Ambassador said that we needed to celebrate the achieve-ments of the Jamaicans who have done well in this country,citing retired General Colin L. Powell, a former U.S. Chief of Staffand Secretary of State who is the son of Jamaican immigrants.She went on to say that most of the time we hear about our

people who have done badly but rarely about the ones that aredoctors, lawyers and making a great contribution to America.

After listening to Ambassa-dor Marks, I was reminded,that the reason I started thisNews Magazine was to cel-ebrate the achievements ofCaribbean People in Cen-tral Florida. We don’t getthe Orlando Sentinel to fea-ture us when we promoteour culture, we don’t haveWesh News coming to cel-ebrate our achivementsand so I leave the negativ-ity to them...if those are the

only times we see Caribbean people featured in their news thenwe will work to showcase the beautiful, diverse, striving peoplewe are, in our News Sources, so that our children can be proudof who we are as a Caribbean People. Enjoy this month’sissue...The Grenada Association’s Gala to raise funds for theirkidney fund, the festival of Phagwah in all it’s glorious color,the Kerosene Lamp Foundation’s Gala to raise funds for improv-ing Caribbean Children’s lives through sports and education,Gail Seeram’s scholarship recipient - smart, talented Amandaand so much more of who we are as Caribbean American Peopleliving in Central Florida.

Our new governor in the State ofFlorida is very controversial

when it comes to making a decision.As I continue to study the nature ofpolitics, I have learned that a goodpolitician must master the science offlip flopping. Good politicians learn toalways give themselves wiggle roomif they have to change their opinion.

Politicians know that when you nego-tiate your position, they will only geta portion of what they are asking for.

They can ask for the sun, moon, and stars, and they are satisfiedwith just the stars, because they did not expect to get everything.

Even though, there is more oxycodone and other adductive pain-killers distributed illegally in Florida than all other states in thecountry, Governor Scott has opposed the funding of a pill-milldatabase. Ninety-eight of the one-hundred leading dispensersof these drugs nationally are doctors who reside in Florida.

Scott has opposed the database that would track prescriptiontrends and allow law enforcement to see which clinics are dis-pensing too many prescriptions. It is important to rememberthat Governor Scott is also the founder of Solantic, a chainthat dispenses prescriptions. Again there appears to be a con-flict of interest when the governor makes decisions.

The funding for the database would not have cost the taxpayersof Florida a penny, because OxyContin maker, Purdue Pharmaoffered Scott a $1 million grant to pay for the database. Manydoctors and politicians understand that there is a crisis with

addictive painkillers in Florida, because of the loosely regulatedclinics. Maybe our governor is against the prescription database,because it could identify Solantic as one of the problem clinics.

Florida State Attorney General Pam Bondi supports the data-base, and acknowledged that she and the governor have a dif-ference of opinion on this particular matter. Pam Bondistates,”Right now you can walk in and get a prescription for1000 or more OxyContin tablets and that’s ridiculous. No le-gitimate doctor wants to do that and legitimate pain manage-ment clinics need to be protected. They are getting hurt by thesedrug dealers wearing white coats.”

Last week the governor held a news conference where he out-lined his plan to combat prescription drug abuse. At the con-ference he refused to discuss the database controversy, but heannounced the launch of a statewide “Drug Strike Force.”

The force will be composed of the Florida Department of LawEnforcement, the Florida Highway Patrol, the Division of In-surance Fraud, sheriff’s departments, community police forces,the Department of Health and the Agency for Health CareAdministration. Governor Scott has directed the FDLE to use$800,000 in unspent grant money to help pay for overtimeand other cost associated with the effort.

It is good that Governor Scott is taking the initiative to begin tobattle and confront the prescription drug crisis in Florida. Butthe “Drug Strike Force” also needs a database to support thedifferent law enforcement officers.

It is time to stop playing politics in Florida with the governor.Florida needs a database to monitor the clinics and doctors whodispense prescription drugs. It is terrible and appalling that ourstate leads the country in distribution of illegal prescription drugs.

How about shooting all illegal immigrants? That’s Kan-sas State Rep. Virgil Peck’s solution to the hot buttonissue of illegal immigration.

Republican law maker Peck put his pecker, sorry his foot, in hismouth last month over a solution to illegal immigration in whatcan only be called a shocking case of publicly stirring up murder.

During a committee meeting on Monday, March14th, on how to deal with controlling the wild hogpopulation, Peck stated: “If shooting these immi-grating feral hogs works, maybe we have found a(solution) to our illegal immigration problem.”

So where is the national outrage over this com-ment? Very little has happened to date exceptfor a call from Somos Republicans, a nationalwatchdog group and a Hispanic Republicangrassroots organization for Peck to be removedas chairman of the Transportation and PublicSafety Budget Committee.

Peck’s comment, however, has not been takenseriously enough to obtain any legal ramifica-tions. Yet should anyone scream terror or dis-cuss terrorism, that person would quickly be hauled off to jailand possibly thrown there for the rest of their life.

But Peck, who represents Tyro, Kansas is walking around freeas a bird, after an about face turn of events in which he apolo-gized via a statement on the House floor on Tuesday, March15th and said his statements were “unfortunate.”

Republican Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback also quickly steppedin to save face by rebuking Peck Tuesday. “This isn’t the way to

A Lawmaker’s Solution to IllegalA Lawmaker’s Solution to IllegalA Lawmaker’s Solution to IllegalA Lawmaker’s Solution to IllegalA Lawmaker’s Solution to IllegalImmigration? - Murder!Immigration? - Murder!Immigration? - Murder!Immigration? - Murder!Immigration? - Murder!

Virgil Peck

handle it or deal with it. I think it’s completely inappropriate,”Brownback said during a news conference. “This is no way todiscuss the issue.”

But is that enough? Why should we accept such diatribe asfree speech when there are obvious ramifications and facts thatprove that such hateful, despicable remarks trigger such actsas Shawna Forde of Arizona’s murdering of a Mexican immi-grant and his nine-year-old daughter and the leads to the risein hate crimes against immigrants across this country?

The fact is that hate speech is rising in this countryalong with the number of hate groups who are arm-ing themselves and such rhetoric by the likes of Pecktrigger already loose cannons to explode. The South-ern Poverty Law Center counted 1,002 active hategroups in the United States in 2010. That number sur-passed 1,000 for the first time and the anti-govern-ment “Patriot” movement expanded dramatically forthe second straight year as the radical right showedcontinued explosive growth in 2010. Such groups aredefined as those whose activities include marches, ral-lies, speeches, meetings, leafleting or publishing.

That’s right - speeches such as Peck’s remarks! It iswhy immigrant voters and advocates should bemore outraged at this remark and now allow Peck

to get away by simply saying “sorry.” Sorry cannot be enoughfor someone propagating murder - murder that can qualify asdomestic terrorism. There should be legal ramifications for thiscomment and advocates should not sit silently by and let Peckand his friends on the far right continue to spread hate andincite murder while hiding behind the constitution and freespeech.

A quick overview of some important changesA quick overview of some important changesA quick overview of some important changesA quick overview of some important changesA quick overview of some important changesto Child Support and Alimony in Floridato Child Support and Alimony in Floridato Child Support and Alimony in Floridato Child Support and Alimony in Floridato Child Support and Alimony in Florida

By Natalie Hall, Esq.

Several recent changes to FloridaFamily Law will affect spousalsupport (alimony) and child

support. While these changes cannotbe the basis for Modification of cur-rent court orders, they will certainlyaffect new ones. Here is a quick lookof some of the important changes tochild support and alimony.

Changes to Child Support Orders.

The law now requires that all Orders for child support containprovision for termination when the child turns 18 unless thecourt finds or has previously found that the child is dependentor the parents agree otherwise. This creates an automatic ter-mination of child support when a child turns 18 without theneed for further court action.

All Child support Orders involving multiple children must nowaccount for the change to the child support amount as eachchild turns 18. The Support Order must not only show monthlychild support obligation for all children but also the actualdecrease in child support for the remaining child/children af-ter the child which is no longer entitled to receive child supportstops receiving that support.

New Definition of Substantial Amount of Time Sharing.

The Law continues to recognize an adjustment of child sup-port amount for a parent that spends a substantial amount oftime with a child. However, the law now defines 20% of over-night stays with a paying parent (as opposed to 40%), as asubstantial amount of time sharing that would reduce thatparent’s child support obligation.

Clear definition of Short, Moderate andLong-Term marriages.

Florida law now provides clear definitions of what is meant byshort, moderate and long term marriages. A short-term mar-riage as a marriage of less than 7 years, moderate-term is greaterthan 7 but less than 17 years, and long-term is 17 years or longer.The length is determined by the period of time from the date ofmarriage until the date the dissolution (divorce) is filed.

Codifying a familiar form of Alimony and Creating a New Kind.Statutory recognition has been provided to Bridge-the-gap ali-mony. This Alimony is available to assist a spouse with short-term financial needs but may not exceed 2 years. On the otherhand, a new type of alimony, Durational Alimony, establishedto provide a spouse with economic assistance for a set period oftime, may exceed 2 years but not the length of the marriage.

Clarifies Permanent Periodic Alimony Awards.

Florida courts now have more flexibility in awarding Perma-nent Periodic Alimony. This Alimony may be awarded inmarriages of short or moderate length. The court has the au-thority to make such an award in a marriage of moderate du-ration if the specific facts of the case warrant such an award,and in a marriage of short duration if exceptional circum-stances are present.

Contact a Florida Family Law Attorney if you have questionsregarding how these changes can affect your pending familylaw case.

This is why Jamaican lawyers shouldnever ask a witness a question if they’renot prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Falmouth small town prosecutingattorney called his first witness, a grand moth-erly, elderly woman named Miss Ivy, to thestand. He approached her and asked, “MissIvy, do you know me?”

She responded, “Why, yes of course me knowyou, Mr. Williams! Me know you since you wasa likkle pissen tale pickney, and wata big dis-appointment you is to yuh family.

You tell too much lie, yuh cheat pan yuh wife,you chat people bizniz, and yuh red-eye andlicky-licky. Yuh tink you is a big shot now butyuh nuh realize seh yuh will neva be moredan a two-bit paper pusher! Yes mi know yuharight!!”

The Lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he

pointed across the room and asked, “Miss Ivy,do you know the defense attorney?”

She again replied, “why yes, mi know Mr. Brad-ley since him was a likkle bwoy to. Him lazy,and good-fe-nuttin, him boassy, and him alwaysa gwaan like him white. Him cyaan build anormal relationship wid any woman cause hima battyman unda covah. Fi him law practice adi wos ina Jamaica. Him chat nuff , him teef,nuttin nasty and dutty no deh wey him nuh do.A three different woman an four man me hearsey him av undah covah, an one a di womandem a you wife! Yes sah, mi know him well.”

The defense attorney almost died ofembarrasment.

The Judge ordered both counselors to ap-proach the bench, and in a very quiet voice,said, “IF EITHER OF YOU BASTARDS ASK

HER IF SHE KNOW ME, A GWINE LOCK UP UNNU RAASSINNA JAIL FE CONTEMPT!”

Keeping your blood pressure below 120/ 80 mm Hg is im-portant to good health. High blood pressure is 140/90mm Hg or greater, and blood pressure between 120/ 80

and 139/89 is considered “prehypertension,” meaning that youare more likely to develop high blood pressure.

Both hypertension and prehypertension can increase your riskfor stroke, coronary heart disease, and congestive heart fail-ure, especially if they are uncontrolled, says the National Heart,Lung, and Blood Institute. People with prehypertension oftenshow early signs of stiffening of the arteries, enlargement ofthe heart, or changes in the way their kidneys work.

Although maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most ef-fective ways to lower your blood pressure without taking medi-cation, you can take other steps to beat this leading cause ofcardiovascular disease.

These lifestyle suggestions can help keep blood pressure in control:

ExerciseWork out regularly and build more physical activity into yourday even if you’re not overweight. For example, pace whiletalking on the phone, walk instead of driving, or play withyour children instead of watching from the sidelines.

There’s evidence that exercise alone slightly lowers blood pres-sure. It can also make weight loss easier, even if you don’t re-duce calories. People who exercise burn calories more efficientlythan those who don’t. A 200-pound man who exercises mod-erately, for example, generally needs to consume 400 morecalories per day to maintain his weight than a same-sized manwho’s sedentary.

Test your salt sensitivitySome people with borderline hypertension, especially African-Americans, are salt-sensitive. When they consume salt, theysee a rise in their blood pressure. When they reduce their saltintake, their blood pressure falls.

If you’re salt-sensitive, it may help to go on a reduced-sodiumdiet, such as the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hy-pertension), developed by the federal government’s NationalHigh Blood Pressure Education Program. Rich in fruits and veg-etables, this Mediterranean-style diet also includes low-fat dairyproducts. It has been found to prevent high blood pressure andlower it as effectively as many prescription drugs.

One caveat: The DASH diet can be difficult to maintain, espe-cially if you often consume convenience foods or eat out regu-larly. Still, it’s worth trying.

If you’re not sure you’re salt-sensitive, have your blood pres-sure checked, follow the DASH diet for several weeks, then haveyour blood pressure checked again. If you don’t see a changethen you probably don’t have to worry as much about yoursalt intake. The USDA’s 2010 dietary guidelines recommendlimiting sodium intake to no more than 2,300 mg per day.

However, those who are 51 or older and those of any age whoare African-American or have hypertension, diabetes, orchronic kidney disease should consume no more than 1,500mg a day from all sources.

Get more potassiumThe recommended daily intake of potassium is 4,700 mg, ac-cording to the Institute of Medicine, but Americans averageabout 2,000 mg less than that. Adequate potassium is associ-ated with reduced blood pressure.

To increase your intake and reduce your hypertension risk, tryconsuming at least two servings daily of any of the followingpotassium-rich foods: one cup of cantaloupe (494 mg), onemedium banana (450 mg), eight ounces of orange juice (450mg), 15 raw baby carrots (420 mg), eight ounces of skim milk(405 mg), or six ounces of nonfat yogurt (390 mg). Some salt-substitutes are a combination of salt and potassium; they canbe a source of additional potassium and lower the sodium inyour diet.

Raise your glass (in moderation)If you drink, do so in moderation. That means no more thantwo drinks daily if you’re a man and one if you’re a woman.One drink equals 12 ounces of beer, four or five ounces of wine,or one 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof liquor, all of which supplyabout 0.5 ounce of alcohol.

In studies, moderate amounts of alcohol have been shown tobe heart-healthy.

Moderate alcohol users have higher HDL (“good”) cholesteroland better cardiovascular prognoses than people who don’tdrink at all. But a person who chronically consumes three drinksa day will experience a rise in blood pressure.

People who have a family history of alcoholism or addictionshouldn’t drink at all.

Don’t smokeSmoking only increases blood pressure when you’re actuallysmoking. But if you smoke 20 to 30 times a day, the amount oftime your blood pressure is elevated because of smoking quicklyadds up to several hours. That’s a meaningful change and canput you at increased risk for hypertension complications, suchas heart disease and stroke.

For women who take birth-control pills, smoking is especiallydangerous if their blood pressure is already slightly elevated.Taking birth-control pills at any age increases your blood pres-sure almost invariably by two or three points. But being on thepill, having blood pressure that’s already slightly elevated andbeing a cigarette smoker is a dangerous triad that can lead tostroke in women as young as 20.

To play it safe, get your blood pressure checked every time yougo to the doctor. Check it at home on a regular basis and keepa log of the readings to share with your physician.

Autism speaksAutism speaksAutism speaksAutism speaksAutism speaksthrough Ryanthrough Ryanthrough Ryanthrough Ryanthrough Ryan

W here should Ibegin . . .I have

three healthy kids and lifeis good. My first son wasvery active as a baby, hecried all night and sleptmost of the day. As timewent by, he became veryoutgoing. He spoke early.When my second son wasborn I thought… wow, I’mlucky - he hardly evercried. Everyone told mehow lucky I was.

However, when he turned two and just pointed at thingsinstead of speaking, I found myself speaking on his behalfand had him evaluated. They said the dreaded words "Autism."

I didn't really understand, because where I came from inEngland we used words like retarded. Slow didn't soundnice…but that is what your child was labeled. Now we arelearning more and more about this word "Autism." There aredifferences in autism, it can be mild or severe. My son has aspeech delay, the words sound as if he were talking underwater, the few words that he can speak don't quite sound right.

NOTE FROMNOTE FROMNOTE FROMNOTE FROMNOTE FROM

“My son has autism, but autism doesn’t have him.”- Anonymous

After seeing many different specialists they suggested we sendhim to school early so that he could interact and learn. Hestarted school at the age of three. We’ve been taking advantageof all the school system has to offer in and outside of school,the teachers are very patient and everyday he comes home,there is one more thing he has to share with us. He is nowseven years old and the words are just beginning to make senseas he speaks. However, I still find myself sheltering him andon occasions speaking for him. He is now opening up moreto others and making his point known to you - even if it’s notthe time and place. My oldest son and I are both talkative andmy husband too, if he gets the chance…so many people arepuzzled that our child has a speech delay.

How does Autism happen…I know that west Indians say whenyou cut your son’s hair too early he will not speak. Othershave said that it was the vaccinations given to parents and chil-dren but no one really knows for sure how children become au-tistic. I am just looking forward to one day having my sonlook at me and saying "I can speak for myself and don'tneed anyone to help me" then maybe I will ease up the holdI have on him. However, until then I will keep learning, lov-ing, and teaching him the things that come easy to us all.

My third child Nadia, is fourteen months old and trying totalk, you will never believe who is teaching her the most in ourfamily, my middle son, the one with autism…isn't life strange.
