A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER Good News You Can Use! This past Monday we honored Veterans. My father was in the Army for about 30 years, then retired after being wounded in an accident in the states. My cousin was the first person from my hometown, Savannah Georgia, to die in Vietnam. I am from a large family, therefore we had many members who served this country. I remember all of them during this time of year. A monument is soon to be built in honor of a lengendary veteran, Colonel Charles Young. (see page 14) I had the opportunity to see the opening of the musical After Midnight with Fantasia last weekend. The show was amazing, full of talent and a must see. (see page 27) Red Lobster opened their newest restaurant right next door to the Apollo Theater in Harlem. They have already shown their commitment to the community and have made donations to several organizations, prior to their opening. They stated that more than 50% of their more than 250 employees are from Harlem. They have decorated the new location with fine art from some local talent and had some musical guidance from the Apollo Theater for their playlist. Welcome! Red Lobster to Harlem. (see page 10) Plan to shop, dine, enjoy the special activities on 125th Street next Thursday on November 21st. The holiday lights will be turned on to kick off the holiday season with a parade of lighted vehicles. Go to www.harlemlightitup.com for an updated schedule. If you want to change your life and do better. Just start - today.

he New York Urban League (NYUL) has retained Jones Lang LaSalle to do an assessment of its property on 136th Street. The goal is to determine how to best leverage the asset of the three historic buildings to align with NYUL's plans for the future.

The NYUL recently received a $250,000 grant from the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York through State Senator Kevin Parker to provide basic updates to its 100 year-old Harlem brownstones. The NYUL has also received a grant from the New York Community Trust to complete its strategic planning process.

The Right Side of History

By William Spriggs new day is arriving in America. After decades of being pushed around, America's workers are standing up. After the Nov. 5 ballot initiatives in New Jersey (and estimated soon in the Seattle suburb of SeaTac), voters sounded loud and clear, "We are fed up and we won't take it anymore." In New Jersey, voters raised the state's minimum wage by $1 effective Jan. 1. After an earlier victory in the California Legislature to raise the state minimum wage to $10 an hour, this is the second major state to push back against the stagnant wage growth hurting America's families. In SeaTac, the home to Seattle's airport, voters on Tuesday voted by a wide margin to set a $15 minimum wage for hospitality and transportation workers, that includes paid sick days and protection for tipped employees. The mail-in votes in SeaTac are still being counted. Big Business spent big to defeat the will of the voters on these issues. Clearly they fear the 99 percent may finally stand up. This is a movement that will continue to sweep the nation, like the workers at Walmart and McDonald's who also fight for $15 an hour. And, those who stand in its way are going to be on the wrong side of history. In part this is old Yankee common sense that brought about the minimum wage 75 years ago in the depths of the Great Depression. Stuck in an economic rut, clearly it was time to change decades of policies that let technological advances create millionaires but impoverish the workers who made the new products. New jobs like electricians, movie projection operators, telephone operators, recording engineers and automobile mechanics were created from 1895 to 1929. And while a tiny few bosses got rich, America's workers saw little benefit from these new skills, and the system collapsed of its own weight after financial speculators crashed Wall Street, betting on the new economy.
This time, the Washington elite saved Wall Street, but turned their backs on reconstructing a new economic order to restore the middle class; instead, leaving working America the same fairy tale promise it has been hearing since the 1980s that the computer era would generate a new middle class. In 1935, tired of waiting for some invisible hand to lift up American wages to match the rising productivity of America's workers, the Wagner Act passed to empower workers to organize, and in 1938 the Fair Labor Standards Act was put in place to protect the wages of workers. In 2013, while the Washington elite continue to debate downsizing the American Dream, people outside Washington are taking things in their own hands to right the ship and make the government work for them. This is the new tide that is turning. When 10 Republican members of Congress who get farm subsidy checks, like the family of Robert Aderholt of Alabama, voted to cut funds to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) to help feed America's children, people took note. His vote to keep his family's share of a $66,891 subsidy shows that the tea party is more for the continuation of policies for the rich than solving the problems of America's families. Last month, a study out of the Labor Center at the University of California, Berkeley, showed that workers in America's fast-food industry are forced by their low wages to rely on more than $7 billion in public assistance to feed their families and for access to health care. This massive subsidy to multinational corporations earning billions in profits is inefficient. McDonald's, the world's second largest employer, had gross profits of more than $2.7 billion last year. Clearly the subsidy McDonald's gets from tax payers to help support the low wages of its workers isn't to save the company from bankruptcy. And, given
America's trouble with obesity, it isn't because people need help to keep McDonald's prices low enough so we eat our way to heart attacks. Now we see from Republicans in Congress their answer is to cut the subsidy by letting the workers starve. The voters in New Jersey and SeaTac know the correct answer is to tell American companies that America's workers will not starve to make them profitable; the answer is to pay the workers. America's wages are out of sync with productivity and the minimum wage is additionally out of sync with prices. If the minimum wage of the 1960s was adjusted for prices, and to let those at the bottom get just half the productivity growth, then today the minimum wage would be around $15 an hour. Some are looking at that wage with incredulity; testament to how we have gotten used to rotten wages. But, as the millions of America's workers who lost jobs in manufacturing and construction during the Great Recession know, it matters how low you can fall. We remain nearly 1.9 million below the 2007 peak employment in construction and 1.7 million fewer in manufacturing after the labor market peaked in 2008; but employment at general merchandise retailers and food service establishments is up almost a combined 900,000 since their 2008 peaks. And, if you are among those who think that $15 an hour sounds too high because you don't make $15 an hour, imagine what you would say to your boss if jobs at McDonald's and Walmart paid $15 an hour if he didn't give you a raise. You will be joining the wave of history soon. Follow Spriggs on Twitter: @WSpriggs. Contact: Amaya Smith-Tune Acting Director, Media Outreach AFLCIO 202-637-5142

HOME BUYING IN HARLEM:

By Rev. Charles Butler, HCCI
Be Prepared to Buy NOW!
ne thing that is very important for first time home buyers to remember is that you must change your spending habits it you are planning to purchase a home. Managing your money becomes extremely critical to your success as a prospective home buyer. You will need money and lots of it in order to purchase property in New York City. For the past few weeks we have been reviewing some of the grant programs that are available for first time buyers to assist you in completing this purchase. This week I think it will be beneficial to review where most of the money will actually have to come from for buying a home. I cannot emphasis enough the importance of developing an aggressive savings plan for preparing for homeownership. You must start with a savings plan and that will mean creating a monthly household budget. This is your primary tool in the home buying process. Your budget will let you know some important factors: (1) the amount you will be able to save each month. You must
really push yourself to save as much as you possibly can. This will call for a great deal of discipline on your part in order to reduce your spending. The budget will help you also in identifying wasteful spending. This week I had the pleasure of working with a husband and wife who have two young children. They just started the process of planning to purchase their first home. It was interesting for me to watch them as they came to the realization from reviewing their monthly budget and spending pattern of how much money they were wasting in the course of a month. Seeing these figures on paper helped them to gain a better understanding of the changes that were necessary if they wanted to become homeowners. The monthly budget literally opened their eyes to just how money they had been wasting. Although they were steadily saving what appeared to be an adequate amount each month, I challenged them to push themselves to save even a higher amount!
Another factor the budget will show you will be (2) how much you can comfortably afford to spend on your mortgage. Your lender will base your pre-approval amount on your gross monthly income, but you are living on your net monthly income. This is quite a different figure and must be taken into consideration. You will also have to factor in regular monthly living expenses i.e. food, utilities, transportation etc. Your budget will
help you to determine just what you can comfortably afford. You do not want to over extend yourself in purchasing a home, you must stay within your means. That is one of the keys to success in home buying. If you are interested in attending the workshop or have questions regarding the home buying process contact Rev. Charles Butler at (212) 281 4887 ext. 231or email at cbutler@hcci.org.

EVENTS
Concert to Celebrate John F. Kennedy at Riverside Church Nov 24 By Howard Giske
n Sunday, November 24, the immortal legacy of John F. Kennedy will be celebrated by the Foundation for the Revival of Classical Culture, 50 years after his tragic death, at Riverside Church (in the main nave of Riverside Church which seats 2,300), 490 Riverside Drive, @ W. 120th St. The event is called "JFK 50 Plus: Passing the Torch," a concert in celebration of the Kennedy Presidency. Free tickets are available to groups of students, parents and teachers. The musical program will be preceded by a brief film including excerpts from speeches by President Kennedy, as well as commentary on his life. Also speaking will be former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, an official in the Kennedy Administration. Pianist, Mr. Tian Jiang, will perform Chopin's Nocturne in C minor, Scherzo in Bb minor, Grand Polonaise, and 15-yearold violinist Ms. Yaegy Park will perform Bach's violin sonata in G minor. In addition a choir of New York City public school students will sing classical music and African-American spirituals. This chorus includes the Foundation's youth ensemble, in part-
nership with members of other choruses with which the Foundation has worked in the last months. The pianist Tian Jiang's work with the Foundation is well documented in the two live recordings of his concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall in 2012 and 2013. The overall presentation will give today's students a chance to know about the Kennedy administration and the spirit of the times, including the launching of the space program. The Foundation for the Revival of Classical Culture is presenting this very special "celebration/concert" in order to memorialize President John F. Kennedy. It will focus on the extraordinary emphasis on the role of culture in the Kennedy Presidency, utilized by him and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, in the service of both domestic and international diplomacy and engagement. In recent years, educators, jurists, politicians, historians and citizens have been caused to question the degree to which American youth are prepared-or not-to advance, as well as to defend, those conceptions of freedom and progress which have ener-
gized America since its inception. How, for example, can the country's now-much-neglected rich literary history, including the Federalist papers, Tom Paine's "Common Sense" and "The Crisis," as well as the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution, be reincorporated into common knowledge? In the fall of 2012 through the early months of 2013, Steven Spielberg's and Daniel Day-Lewis' film Lincoln provoked a renewed interest in matters of American history that once merited unforced and enthusiastic public discussion in families and workplaces. Why is this important? The great Spanish novelist Miguel De Cervantes suggested in his masterpiece Don Quixote: "For if a man is unable to govern himself, how can he then govern others?" Every American citizen, according to the intent of our Constitution is required to qualify himself to govern, as his first defense of the Republic. For more information on this concert please call the Foundation at 917-214-1264 or go to https://jfkplus50.eventbrite.com/

HIGHLIGHT
Red Lobster Opens in Harlem With a Commitment to Be a Good Community Partner
he newest Red Lobster restaurant opened in the heart of Harlem, next to the Apollo Theater, at 261 W. 125th St. on Monday, Nov. 11, 2013 at 11 a.m. EST. The 8,765 square-foot restaurant crreated nearly 250 new jobs and accommodates seating for 340 guests. The Harlem Red Lobster celebrated its opening on Monday, Nov. 11 (Veterans Day) with a ribbon-cutting ceremony including special acknowledgements and remarks by local officials and Red Lobster executives. The ribbon-cutting event begins at 10 a.m. EST, just prior to the official grand opening at 11 a.m. EST. In honor of Veterans Day, every Red Lobster in the five boroughs offered military veterans and those currently serving a free appetizer as a token of thanks for their service. On November 8th, Harlem Red Lobster hosted a reception for community leaders and local organizations including Dardens senior executives, members of the Harlem School of the Arts, 125th Street B.I.D., Apollo Theater, Harlem Childrens Zone, artists with the Harlem Arts Alliance, Aloft Hotel, Harlem Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations. Red Lobster, a division of Darden Restaurants, has appointed Tommy Williams as general manager of the Harlem restaurant. Williams has been with Red Lobster for 18 years and was most recently general manager of the restaurant in Elmhurst, N.Y. "We pride ourselves on friendly, attentive and personalized service to ensure our guests' experience at Red Lobster is memorable," said Williams. "One of the many great things about Red Lobster is that there are options for any taste preference. We look forward to providing our guests with high-quality, great-tasting dishes in a stylish, modern atmosphere that's inspired by the seaside." With an aesthetic nod to uptown chic, the restaurant's two-story, sleek exterior features black, stainless steel and tinted glass. The interior compliments urban living with an entry level bar with dcor inspired by the heritage of Harlem. Custom artwork from local artists commissioned through the Harlem Art Alliance is featured, and the bar area is reminiscent of iconic Harlem nightclubs from the 40's and 50's. A granite staircase leads to the second floor dining room, which seats approximately 340. The dining room features windows across the entire frontage of 125th St. and a view of the iconic Apollo Theater. Additional design elements include a feature wall with graphite "fish scales" highlighted with red LED lighting, ceiling panels upholstered with tufted velvet, custom diamond-cut porcelain floor tiles with stainless steel accents and custom glass partitions inspired by air bubbles in water. In addition to creating new jobs in Harlem, the new Red Lobster continues the company's commitment to making a
positive impact on the community. Darden Restaurant's commitment to Harlem is enduring. Over the past several years the company has supported organizations focused on the arts and education within Harlem including the Harlem School of the Arts and The Studio Museum of Harlem. As part of the Darden family of restaurants, the Harlem Red Lobster will participate in the Darden Harvest program, which was created 10 years ago as a way to help feed the hungry in local communities across North America. Each day, Darden restaurants "harvest" surplus, wholesome, unused food and donate it to local community food banks. To date, the Darden Harvest program has donated more than 67 million pounds of food (or 67 million meals) to community-based food banks across the country. Additionally, the Darden Foundation partners with leading organizations to address three areas that align with the company's passion for people, community and the business: Recipe for Success, Preservation of Natural Resources and Good Neighbor. For example, Darden's Restaurant Community Grants program is a local grants initiative that helps support nonprofit organizations in the communities where they live and serve. Employees at each of Darden's more than 2,000 restaurants are given the opportunity to identify specific needs unique to their region and select a nonprofit to support and address those local issues with a $1,000 grant. In its second year, this program resulted in more than $1.9 million in grants to more than 850 nonprofit organizations throughout North America. "We're proud to open our newest location in Harlem and are committed to being a positive force within the community-both inside and outside our restaurant," said D. "Chip" Wade, executive vice president of operations for Red Lobster. "We look forward to serving guests in one of our country's most iconic and treasured neighborhoods for many years to come." Red Lobster is the world's largest casual dining seafood restaurant with more than 700 locations and 60,000 employees delivering delicious, high-quality seafood to guests across North America. Red Lobster is a division of Darden Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: DRI), the world's largest full-service restaurant operating company. In 2013, Darden was named to the FORTUNE "100 Best Companies to Work For" list for the third year in a row and is the only full-service restaurant company to ever appear on the list. Red Lobster is committed to making a difference in the lives of others in the local community.

Plans Underway to Build Monument Honoring Colonel Charles Young

By Patricia Green
ssembling a group of African American military brass and other dignitaries in Frederick, Maryland on a week day was no small feat, particularly when they traveled from different parts of the country for the occasion. Yet, distance had no boundaries for these men because the task would have a profound impact for generations to come. They came together for a historic reason: first, a luncheon meeting at a quaint Frederick, Maryland restaurant, where they gave perspectives on Colonel Charles Young, an American hero, and how a monument in his honor offered a lasting tribute. After lunch they traveled to sculptor Antonio Tobias Mendez's studio in the rolling hills of Western Maryland. There, they inspected a clay model that Mendez created for the bronze casting of a maquette honoring Colonel Young, the legendary Buffalo Soldier, statesman, and Diplomat. The end creation will be a monument, erected in Washington, DC, to acknowledge Colonel Young and the historic and honorable service that millions of African American servicemen and servicewomen gave in defense of the nation. The inspection team read like a Military Who's Who, themselves military heroes revered by countless African
American soldiers. Present were Lt. General Arthur J. Gregg, USA Retired; Lt. General William E. Ward, USA Retired; Major General Errol R. Schwartz, Commanding General District of Columbia Army National Guard; and Brigadier General Robert Cocroft, USA Retired. Also present were Chief Methuselah Bradley, IV, Honorary Consul for the Republic of Sierra Leone; Mr. Leonard Lawson, Jr., President, BlaqueIce Productions; Mr. Jack Evans, Washington, DC Representative of the Black Veterans Coalition, and Antonio Tobias Mendez. Charles Blatcher, III, Chairman of the National Coalition of Black Veteran Organizations (NCBVO), and the event organizer, reiterated the importance of this recognition. "Born in 1864, Colonel Charles Young's was an extraordinary life and career. He stands as a great symbol, not only for black servicemen and servicewomen but for all Americans," Blatcher offered. "The Colonel's father was a model for the possibilities, serving in the Union Army Fifth Regiment of the Colored Artillery Volunteers during the Civil War. He planted love of country seeds and military service in young Charles who heard the call. Despite great odds, Charles Young became the third

black graduate of West Point Academy and rose to become the highest-ranking black officer in the United States Armed Forces from World War I until his death in 1922. Among other achievements, Colonel Young was the first black Superintendent of the National Park Service, and the first black attach to foreign governments, Haiti and Liberia," Blatcher concluded. Accolades like these are worthy of merit. However, Colonel Young lived during a time when obstacles owed to his skin color were insurmountable. The
NCBVO is seeking to correct the history through working with other supporters to give Colonel Young the rightful receipt of an honorary promotion to Brigadier General. Others in the room agreed recognition of the highest order is long overdue. "The tracks Colonel Young laid helped so many of us," said Major General Schwartz. "As a member of the Board of Visitors at West Point, I am proud of this graduate. The work he did stretched far beyond 4 and 5 star military status."

Taking Diabetes to Heart: Celebrity Chef Art Smith and Merck Cook Up A Recipe for Type 2 Diabetes Management
hen celebrity chef Art Smith was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he took the news as a wake-up call. Soon after, he began working with his doctor to develop a treatment plan that was right for him. He also made changes to his diet to include more fresh vegetables and started exercising five days a week, which led him to eventually lose 120 pounds. Smith is working with Merck on the Taking Diabetes to Heart program to share his personal story and to teach people with type 2 diabetes that small, but important changes in their lifestyle can help them better manage the disease. "As a chef living with type 2 diabetes, I know that managing the way you eat can be challenging," says Smith. "That's why I've started cooking up delicious, diabetes-friendly dishes that the whole family can enjoy. I want to show people that having type 2 diabetes doesn't mean you have to make separate meals or feel alone at meal time." There's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to diabetes-management. Smith is encouraging patients to work with their healthcare provider to set individualized goals and develop a plan that's right for them, including diet, exercise, and, if appropriate, medication. "My doctor told me that people with type 2 diabetes can help reduce their risk of serious complications by setting indi-
Dont Ignore Your Pets Bad Breath

(Statepoint)
f you think your pet's bad breath is no big deal, you're not alone, as 28 million pet owners mistakenly think bad breath is normal for pets. But experts are warning dog and cat lovers that bad breath isn't just unpleasant, it can be a sign of poor oral health or dental disease. "If your pet has bad breath, a visit to the veterinarian is imperative," says Dr. Brook Niemiec, a board-certified veterinary dentist and President of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry. Breeds with short, flat faces like Pugs, Boston Terriers and Bulldogs are at higher risk for oral issues, as are senior pets and small dogs and cats. But no matter the size, breed or age of your pet, you can take steps to reduce bad breath:
o Brush your pet's teeth daily to fight buildup of plaque and tartar. o Give your pet Veterinary Oral Health Council accepted dental treats, such as GREENIES Dental Chews and Treats. o Make regular visits to the veterinarian. o Schedule professional dental cleanings as advised by your veterinarian. To learn more about preventing bad pet breath and how dental chews and treats work, visit www.Greenies.com.
vidual goals to manage the ABCs of diabetes-that's A for A1C, also known as blood sugar, B for blood pressure and C for cholesterol," says Smith. To help others living with type 2 diabetes commit to a diabetes-friendly lifestyle, Smith is encouraging patients to visit www.TakingDiabetesToHeart.com for more of his diabetes-friendly recipes, questions to ask health care providers, information about the importance of understanding both high and low blood sugar and additional resources for patients and their families.

Holidays can be Stressful for Seniors: Advice for Caregivers

he holidays may be filled with joy, but for the ever-growing number of aging Americans and those who care for them this otherwise celebratory season can become mired in challenges. The stress of visitors, eventful meals, gift giving and social obligations can be overwhelming for anyone, but especially for those juggling busy schedules with caring for an elderly family member. An estimated 15 million Americans are sandwiched between two generations and working to support both, according to the Pew Research Center. Known as the "Sandwich Generation," these adults struggle to balance caring for their children and their elderly parents. "Staying organized is especially important during this time of year to ensure that loved ones aren't ignored in the hustle and bustle of the season," says Mark Armstrong, founder and CEO of ComForcare Senior Services,
an international senior care franchise that provides in-home, non-medical care to seniors and others in need of assistance. Armstrong is offering some juggling tips for family caregivers: -Map out doctor's appointments, prescription pick-up dates, school holiday pageants and other planned events on a calendar or on your smart phone to avoid double booking and overextending yourself. -Members of the sandwich generation often feel they don't spend enough time with their children because they're busy caring for their parents and vice versa. Combat this issue with intergenerational activities, such as decorating the home, trimming the tree, planning the menu or wrapping presents. -Caring for another human being for an extended period of time can take its toll on even the most caring and nurturing of people. Don't be afraid to ask for help. It may mean alternating
days with a relative or bringing in a professional caregiver. -Watch out for these red flags that could mean your aging relative is in need of additional assistance: mismatched, wrinkled or soiled clothing, weight loss or gain, trouble remembering names or an unclean home. -Discuss the possibility of hiring a professional caregiver to relieve some strain on you, especially around the holidays. In the long-term, a caregiver can help your loved one age safely and comfortably in his or her own home, by providing a wide range of non-medical home care services, including help with bathing, hairstyling and dressing, incontinence care, medication reminders, chores and light exercise assistance. Look for a company that offers a wide range of services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. For example, ComForcare Senior Services develops a customized care plan based on an in-home evaluation by a
nurse and provides ongoing training and education to caregivers. More information can be found at www.ComForcare.com. -Even you need some care sometimes! Set aside "me" time every day to do something just for you and you'll be able to return to your caregiving duties refreshed and ready to help. This holiday season, take the time to address the challenges facing you and your aging loved one.

Stay on Top of Shopping Trends This Holiday Season

(Statepoint)
s the weather outside turns more frightful, consumers and small businesses look to the holiday shopping season to heat things up. Whether you're a consumer or a small business owner, holiday shopping is always a hot topic. So staying on top of new shopping trends is critical for your bottom line -- from finding better deals to understanding what's popular and why. There's no time like the holidays to learn more about what to expect this shopping season. A recent survey conducted on behalf of Deluxe Corp., a leading provider of marketing services and business products for small businesses, sheds light on new trends to watch out for this year: Going Local With a whole world of shopping available at consumers' fingertips and with big box discount chains a top choice for in-person holiday shopping, the expectation would be that small businesses are suffering.
However, for a variety of reasons ranging from great prices to unique merchandise, consumers are not neglecting boutiques and small businesses. In fact, 35 percent of people claim they will prefer to shop at small businesses this year for their holiday shopping, an 8 percent rise from 2012. And a vast majority of respondents agree it's important to support local businesses. Quick and Convenient Online shopping is gaining in popularity, and with good reason -- the expectation of quick and convenient shopping. Search engines remain an important way for consumers to find gifts online. In fact, 57 percent of Hispanic respondents -- representing an important growing demographic -- plan to use search engines for holiday gift ideas. However, it's no surprise that half of all respondents say they don't go past the first two pages of search results. "All the data that we see sends an undeniably clear signal to business

owners that they need to be found online," says Tim Carroll, vice president of small business engagement at Deluxe. For small businesses looking to drive shoppers to their websites over the holidays, having an effective Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy is an important component of a successful holiday marketing plan. Many small businesses turn to marketing services firms, like Deluxe, to help get them front and center on search engines like Google. Information about these services can be found at www.Deluxe.com. Starting Early "Black Friday," the major shop-
ping event that takes place annually on the day after Thanksgiving, continues to be a cultural phenomenon. Worried about crowds? So are lots of other shoppers evidently. Fortytwo percent of consumers get holiday shopping done earlier in November, and women are even more likely to be early birds. Holiday Cards Snail mail or email? A majority of people are traditionalists, still preferring to receive a card in the mail. But those who make at least six figures are more likely than others to prefer an online card. By staying on top of the trends, you can shop smarter this season.

Governor Cuomo Reminds New Yorkers to Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Gobble, Gobble?
By Audrey Adams
overnor Andrew M. Cuomo is reminding New Yorkers to test and change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors. As we set our clocks back last weekend for the end of daylight savings time, I remind all New Yorkers to also take a few minutes to safeguard their families and homes from the threat of fires, Governor Cuomo said. Testing smoke alarms and CO detectors and changing their batteries on a regular basis are a few easy but important steps that can help prevent a future emergency. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), from 2005-2009 approximately two-thirds of home fire deaths involved properties without working smoke alarms. Many fire departments throughout New York State continue to respond to calls in homes each year where there is no working smoke alarm present. Properly functioning smoke alarms are essential in saving lives from fire. Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas created
when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane or oil) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel are potential sources of carbon monoxide. According to the NFPA, from 2006-2010, an estimated 72,000 non-fire carbon monoxide incidents were reported to U.S. fire departments each year and these incidents have been increasing over time. Carbon monoxide incidents are most common during the months of November through February. Jerome M. Hauer, Commissioner, New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services said, You may have as little as three minutes to get out of your home or apartment before a fire becomes deadly. Working smoke alarms provide early warning of a fire and can provide extra time to escape safely. Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, however, may not do their job if homeowners and renters dont test them regularly and change the batteries to make sure that they are working properly.
is' the season to have a tendency to gobble up everything in sight! Last night, I attended the first of what I'm sure will be a round of holiday parties. So I started to think about how I would handle the accompanying food and drink that comes with partying. It is hard to resist the tempting aroma of home fried chicken, fish, cornbread and potato salad, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy . . . all the scents of the holidays and let's not forget the champagne, wine, mixed drinks and eggnog to wash it all down. So . . . I figure that if I have an issue, then surely someone else might have one too! Have you figured out how to enjoy the holiday season without putting on additional pounds? Wouldn't it be wonderful to eat, drink, be merry and not show the results of partying? Wouldn't it be great if someone designed a garment that would "support" us throughout the season? Imagine going to your favorite store's lingerie department to purchase a Lycraenhanced undergarment and putting it on before going out each evening. Ah, it sounds appealing doesn't it? If only!
Unfortunately such a garment would certainly restrict your ability to breathe or eat anything between gasps for air . . . or sit down for that matter. The undergarment would restrict your appetite as well as your ability to enjoy the evening's festivities, and that's no fun. The only true solution is to watch what and how much you eat instead of gobbling up everything in sight. Don't let the season be a reason to overindulge. Think about it. See you next week.

LITERARY CORNER
Looking for Trouble By Trice Hickman

Review by Terri Schlichenmeyer, Harlem News contributor
ust sixty minutes. Oh, how you wish you had it so you could reach back in time and spend it with your great-great-grandmother. You could ask her questions, find out about her life, learn about yourself, and ask for advice. Imagine the things your forebears would tell you - then imagine how it would change your life if they did. In the new book "Looking for Trouble" by Trice Hickman, a little guidance from the past is a welcome thing. Alexandria Thornton tried to fight it. She had always known that she had a "gift." As a little girl, she played with spirit-children and she was always able to predict the future. But lately, an older woman's voice came to her ears and it was loudly insistent, telling Alexandria that someone was going to protect her. Protect her from what, Alexandria didn't know. Maybe from her own heart, which surely needed help these days. Her boyfriend, Peter, was Mr. Wrong and there was nobody else on
the horizon. Maybe, if she could tame this person in her head, she would know what the heck was so important. John Smalls wondered if his girlfriend, Madeline, was The One. Sometimes, he thought she might be. She was the total package: smart, beautiful, elegant, and good in bed. Then again, she could be demanding, bossy, and crass. Now they were in John's hometown of Nedine, South Carolina, to see his family and he had a feeling he'd find out about the real Madeline soon enough. And he was right - Madeline did nothing but complain, and she was rude to his parents. He knew his mother didn't like her. He was sure his grandmother wouldn't, either - and Grandma Allene's opinion was the one that really mattered. Allene Small stood on her front porch and stared into space and time. She didn't like that evil woman her grandson brought home. That woman was trouble, she'd cause big problems for John, and Allene wasn't having any of that. She also knew her
great-great-granddaughter would need help, too, someday, but reaching that child surely wouldn't be easy. It would be several generations before Alexandria was even born. "Looking for Trouble" is a huge novel, not in page count but in storyline. Author Trice Hickman sweeps through several decades in this romantic tale of a family united by a "gift" that is only granted to certain female members, and that is only partially understood. Overall, the characters here are good (if not a little predictable) and the plot is unusual, although it does sometimes get too convenient and a bit silly. Still, I'm happy to say that I couldn't predict what was going to happen next and I liked where Hickman took me. This book is not like other paranormal romances but, like others in its genre, it asks you to suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy - which isn't hard to do here. So look for a place to settle in, and grab "Looking for Trouble." Getting lost in this story won't take but a minute.

URBANOLOGY
The Autonomic Nervous System

he Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is one of the miracles of the human life form. It regulates the heart, body temperature, and breathing. All of the body's cellular exchanges are also regulated by the ANS. The ANS sends out the right signal, to the right organ, at the right time without conscious knowledge or effort. The primary control center is a section of the brain (called the hypothalamus) which automatically activates the correct vital organ process in accordance with the body's needs at any moment. The ANS operates through two branches, the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic, each has an opposing influence in constant complex chemical cooperation to balance the body ( a term called homeostasis) under any conditions. The ANS is made up of two kinds of neurons that travel from the
brain and spinal column to organs throughout the body. An increase Sympathetic activity will provide chemical stimulants. An increase in Parasympathetic action will provide the body with chemical depressants. When the ANS is in balance we are healthy. Stress is the major reason for an imbalanced ANS, which is why stress is the major cause of illness. The ANS is intimately connected to the brain. When we experience fear of the future, illusionary or real, the ANS will send chemical signs (orders) to every organ by sending adrenaline chemicals throughout the entire body. Stored sugars for energy are released by the liver, additional blood and oxygen is sent to the brain, the heart rate increases and the blood pressure rises. Many people live with this imbalance every day.
Negative or emotional programed thoughts of the past will cause the ANS to activate chemical depressants throughout the body that can create an imbalance if those programed thoughts are not let go. The ANS system cannot determine what is real or what is illusory or if the negative emotion is current or from the past. An ANS imbalance will occur and in time organ failure and/or illness will follow if ANS balance is not restored. Ki Energy treatments bring balance to the Autonomic Nervous System, which is why one feels very relaxed after a Ki treatment. When the mind is freed from the fear and anxiety of thoughts of the future, and negative stressful l emotional thoughts of the past, the ANS can become balanced, an important state for proactive health maintenance.
Many, who read this dialog over sleep, overeat, over work, and have thoughts mostly in the past or the future. If this sounds familiar, you have an ANS imbalance and unless you find a way to address this issue by learning to bring balance to your ANS, you will pay a price. They say stress is a silent killer, don't put your action off to long, be sure if you are not proactive, reactive cures will be more costly. I believe all things happen for a reason, so I am not sure why it came to me to offer a free Ki Energy treatment to anyone who calls to make an appointment at 646 329-6727 between now and the end of November, only a monetary donation of your choice will be required. If you are reading this and you now feel that you have an ANS imbalance, perhaps I am writing to you.
HERBS ARE NATURES MEDICINE: Mens Health

By Zakiyyah
en, let's begin to make some SERIOUSLY SIMPLE choices. We are going to look at alternatives in our life habits and herbal remedies to improve the longevity and quality of life for our men. We will begin to look at herbs for the top five killers of men: cardiac herbs (for hypertension and stroke), urinary tonics for the prostate, pulmonary herbs for the lungs and herbs for cancer, and depression. Though difficulties with the prostate gland affect almost every American male over the age of 50 DON'T WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN, PREVENT IT. First of all commit to getting an annual checkup. IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE! It doesn't hurt; it's free as part of your insurance coverage; and it keeps you ahead of the game. Many years ago a brain tumor was discovered - it was only discovered because at my annual GYN checkup my blood pressure was soo high I wasn't allowed to leave the hospital, (and I never had high blood pressure before); the tumor was only discovered upon further testing to find the cause of the elevated blood pressure! Revere yourself. Get an annual checkup.
The prostate gland can become inflamed (prostatitis), enlarged (causing a sensation of fullness in the rectum) or infected, causing backache, impairment of sexual potency, frequent and/or burning/discomfort/pain upon urination, recurring flareups and sometimes a slight discharge or blood in the urine. Herbs to treat a variety of these symptoms: Ginseng, fenugreek, parsley, oats, pumpkin seeds, kelp, melilot, bee pollen, buchu, juniper, echinacea, golden seal, chaparral, sarsaparilla, wild yam root, yellow dock, yarrow, mullein.

CHURCH NEWS: BEYOND THE MICROPHONE

By Bro. Bill, Host of 3G Experience, WHCR-90.3 FM Gospel Radio
he deadly typhoon that struck the Philippines last week brought fresh memories of our experience with Hurricane Sandy last year. Our prayers and sympathy go out to the residents. Read your Bible. Watch for the signs and wonders! The installation service for Rev. Lisa D. Jenkins was an impressive and historic event. The worship leader was Rev. Dr. Carl L. Washington, Pastor of New Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Harlem and the moderator elect of the United Missionary Baptist Association. Pastors from across the city and state participated in this great moment in Harlem and St. Matthew's Baptist Church's history. Greetings were offered by Rev. Dr. Martha Simmons, President and Founder of the African American Lectionary, Rev. James Stallings, Regional Minister, American Baptist Churches of Metropolitan New York and rounding out the illustrious pulpit guests was Her Excellency Rev. Dr. Suzan D. Johnson-Cook, Ambassador-at-Large for International Freedom. Lovingly known to most of us as "Sujay". A musical selection as well as a Liturgical Dance was performed by the Delta Sigma Theta Inspirational Choir and the Liturgical Dance Ministry.
The Rev. Michael A. Walrond, Pastor of First Corinthian Baptist Church, Harlem and Executive Director of the Minister's Division of the National Action Network delivered the installation message. The Rite of Installation was performed by local pastors and pastors from across the state. Rev. Shirley Ruffin presented Pastor Jenkins with a new robe and then the church erupted with shouts of Hallelujah and thunderous applause when Rev. Dr. Carl Washington introduced the Pastor of St. Matthew's Baptist Church, Rev. Lisa Jenkins. The daughters of the late Rev. Dr. John J. Sass were present as was the previous pastor, Rev. Jimmie Howell and his wife Almeda. St. Matthew's Baptist Church, my home church, recently celebrated 88 years of service to the Christian Community. It was important to continually acknowledge that Rev. Dr. John J. Sass was an early supporter of women in the pulpit. Rev. Lisa Jenkins, Pastor of St. Matthew's Baptist Church is offering premarital counseling and marital enrichment sessions. Contact Rev. Lisa Jenkins for further information. The St. Matthew's prayer line is 347-508-4939, pin # 17756. The prayer line is at 6:30am daily.
The Combined Ushers Ministry of New Tabernacle Baptist Church celebrated last Sunday. Rev. Raymond Mickens, Pastor of Faith Memorial Baptist Church, the Bronx, was the guest preacher. Rev.

THEATER
By Roberto Johnson
After Midnight Delivers a Performance of the Ages!
fter Midnight, the newly opened Broadway extravaganza, features elements of true showmanship and unforgettable entertainment. The show is set in the historically famed Cotton Club, a New York City night club located first in the Harlem neighborhood and then in the midtown Theater District. The club operated from 1923 to 1940, most notably during America's Prohibition Era. After Midnight uses melodramatic and flashy lighting, costumes, and set pieces to depict the glamour of this night club within the era, which is most notably how the piece remains historically fit and period accurate. After Midnight is a conceptual piece that uses the perspectives of the character-performers to highlight the entertainment of the Cotton Club. The musical numbers are exaggerated to give
the audience a feel of how each Cotton Club "performer" viewed his or her own performance, and what they wanted to give to their audiences of the era. Actor Dule Hill, the narrator of the evening, opens the piece by inviting the audience to become spectators to a night of entertainment at the Cotton Club in Harlem. In this Puck-like address, he prefaces the first selection with "There is magic that occurs at the Cotton Club'after midnight.'" We are then led into the show by an acrobatic tap-dance number. The music remains stylistically period as we hear numbers from jazz musicians of the era including Duke Ellington Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald. The show features some 30 classic tunes from "Zaz Zuh Zaz" to "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea." After Midnight is a collaboration between City Center's Encores! and Jazz at Lincoln
Center, a most fantastic combination of music all-stars. Also highlighted within this show is the specific notion that music cannot be stuck in some sort of fixed reality. In other words, the talent is the talent, and the music is the music. Both elements exist in a realm that defies structural containment and suspends certain belief. Such performances that highlight this notion within the show include "Women Be Wise," performed by Adriane Leonx, "Zaz Zuh Zaz" performed by Fantasia Barrino, and "I've Got the World on a String," performed by Dule Hill. Furthermore, the dance numbers reflect a certain kind of energy and jazz revolution that speaks for the jazz-influenced individuals within the era, and their need to best express themselves through this style of music.
Each performer tells an impactful story within their individual performances. It is brilliant to view the heart and soul the performers invest within each musical note, phrase, and lyric of their individual or ensemble-based selections. Fantasia Barrino found pure connection to her pieces, as did the other performers within the show, which formed a fantastic musical revue. With all the elements combined, the band, the performers, the set, the costumes, and the writing, After Midnight scores a lovely goal of pure entertainment for a "night out on the town." Director Warren Carlyle produces a most gorgeous show filled with fierce and lovable musical pleasure. After Midnight is at the Brooks Atkins Theatre, 256 West 47th Street.

Harlem News Group Stans Powerball Numbers Nov 14 - Nov 21 By Stan Rose
layers there is nothing I love more than providing a "timely" tips column that gives you the straight winning numbers. Well last week we talked about playing Triples and Consecutives and we cashed such daily number beauties as 111, 888 and 102 straight and all "in a row." Kudos to everybody on your holiday winfalls. I couldn't be more proud of this accomplishment players. I was so amazed and happy that the lottery folks obliged us and immediately ejected the Triples we were looking for and the consecutives right after them. I mentioned that strange things were happening in our daily games and we certainly cashed in them too. Now for my next "act" I'm going to present one of my favorite and strongest TREE systems that brings home the "bacon" most of the time- The 3x3x3 TREE system. The reasons why this system is so potent is because of the way it breaks down the daily number(or Win-4) into its smallest components and then finds the winning combo from that process. Just like Physicists who study the nature of science and the "atom" components, like the protons, electron, muons, quarks, etc. The TREE system dissects the

3-digits into its positional digits (e.g. spots 1, 2 and 3) and lowers the odds by virtue of the quantity of digits played and spread out over the TREE formats. Recall that in the 3digit game there are three wind-blown chambers of 10 ping-pong balls each. The 3x3x3 TREE format allows for 3 different digits per position. Breaking down those positions mathematically this translates into about 3-1 odds for you correctly trapping that winning ball in each of those 3 spots. Take a look at the history chart now on pp.28. While that chart is very important to us in terms of our history of the game, a player would find it very very difficult to pick the winning combo straight out of the 1,000 Daily Nos. he sees. But with my 3x3x3 TREE, picking 3 digits in the first position alone creates just a 3-1 odds factor. And similarly for the 2nd position and 3rd position for that matter. This kind of play and digit manipulation, via the 3-1 odds, makes picking the daily number "easier' and more manageable. Thats why you see my TREE systems hit daily numbers over the past 30 yrs on a pretty steady basis, Another key factor why my 3x3x3 TREE is a very viable system to use is having your
own digit manipulations. Yes, you control your own destiny by picking the digits you deem ready to pop. Moreover, having at least 3 different digits to implement is crucial to the system too. The 3 digits create the 3-1 odds. If you add or subtract digits from the TREE your odds factors increase or decrease, again depending upon your personal digit "manipulations.' This shows the feasibility of my TREE system as a useful tool in trapping correct digits via the quantity of digits imputted to each of the three positions. If you start with a 3x3x3 and alter the TREE formats like 2x3x3 or 3x3x4, then you'll get different odds. Of course, the more digits, there merrier, but a price-tag does come with this tactic. So be mindful that using my TREE systems alongside the price factor, the lowest being 50c per 3-digit purchase, you have to be frugal playing the games to conserve your bankrolls. Now you see some of the aspects of my TREE that affect winning the daily nos. games. This week enjoy my 3x3x3 TREE and lets keep the holiday spirits high with more "straight " wins from the RoseKnows Nos. Man. Best of luck !

CANCER
Check the fine print carefully this week. You may find yourself in a number of positions this week to advance your financial state.

Lucky Numbers: 6, 15, 40
LIBRA

Take all criticism, constructive or otherwise, with a grain of salt

Let others do their own thing, so long as it doesnt hurt anyone. Soul Affirmation: A week of rejoicing is upon me. I celebrate. Lucky Numbers: 2, 40, 45
TAURUS
Sometimes, a path down the middle is better than taking sides in an issue that may lead to discomposure of your emotional harmony.

The Holiday Train Show is Back at the NY Botanical Garden in the Bronx
t The New York Botanical Garden, no annual event is awaited with as much anticipation as the Holiday Train Show. Running through January 9, the Train Show offers New Yorkers (and visitors too!) a chance to see their city in a completely new way. See an exclusive, behind-the-scenes video of the making of the Train Show here. Garden-gauge trains zip along a quarter-mile of track past 140 beloved New York landmarks, including the original Yankee Stadium, St. Patricks Cathedral, and new this year, the Eero Saarinen-designed Trans World Airline Flight Center at John F. Kennedy Airport. Each iconic structure is masterfully crafted to scale from dried plant parts and arranged to create a dazzling miniature world inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatorya stunning Victorian-style glasshouse and a landmark itself. Wander through the beautiful Conservatory under models of several of New York City's wonderful bridges. The bridges serve as a reminder that New York City is a city of islands. In fact, the borough that The New York Botanical Garden calls home, the Bronx, is the city's only borough located entirely on the North American mainland. Called "one of New York City's best holiday gifts to itself," and a chance to "see the city anew," by the New York Times, the Holiday Train Show is a winter wonderland full of twinkling lights, and the sights and sounds of New York City at its best.
But your winter journey isn't over once you've soaked in all the Holiday Train Show's sights! There are several "houses" left to explore within the Conservatory. Though they don't contain any trains or miniature buildings, they're still full of exceptional delights. Soak in some lovely heat and explore a tropical lowland rain forest from a new perspective; above! The upland rain forest is lush with ferns, orchid, and mosses, which thrive in this cool, misty, montane cloud forest. Two deserts--one of the Americas and the other of Africa--are full of spiky, surreal agaves and aloes, giant saguaro cactuses, and the odd "living stones" or Lithops. Then, head out into the Garden's Native Forest for a hike, or over to the Discovery Center for Gingerbread Adventures, where young and old alike can learn about the plants that give the holiday season's quintessential treat, gingerbread, its distinctive flavor. Practice your gingerbread house decorating skills on some gingersnaps, and if that whets your appetite, grab a snack or lunch at one of the Garden's two cafes. See a train-themed show in the Ross Lecture hall or cross a few names off your holiday shopping list in the Shop in the Garden. A day spent at The New York Botanical Garden's Holiday Train Show is a day of fun, wonder, and discovery for the entire family.

New York City College of Technology Breaks Ground on New Academic Complex
By Roberto Johnson
he New York City College of Technology, also known as City Tech, embarks upon the construction of a new academic complex. This widespread event opened with a celebratory ground breaking ceremony on Friday, October 25th. Located directly across from the school's main campus at 300 Jay Street, the new academic building will significantly alter the face of City Tech, creating a new campus gateway along Jay Street. The new building was designed to address City Tech's rapid growth and serve in recognition of the increasing reliance on cutting-edge technology solutions by every industry worldwide. Over the last decade, City Tech has seen rapid growth in student enrollment. It is believed that this rapid growth has been attributed to a change in workforce demands, new high-tech program development and the growth of employment opportunities in new and existing technology firms locally and nationally. Recent data released by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that 5.6 million health care jobs will be added to the workforce by 2020. The data also indicated that 1.3 million jobs will be added to the hospitality industry. These jobs are increasingly technology based. Of the new academic complex, City Tech President Russell K. Hotzler Ph.D. said, "This project is coming to fruition with the support of policy makers who understand City Tech's institutional strengths and economic relevance. When completed, it
will provide the City Tech community with the tools needed to improve and refine programmatic outcomes and allow the College to provide a high-quality education that makes its graduates relevant to the needs of our rapidly changing economy." The new academic building will predominantly house laboratories, classrooms, faculty offices, clinic and support spaces to enhance the College's health and science curriculum in radiology, dental hygiene (the oldest and largest in the New York metropolitan area), radiology, dental hygiene (the oldest and largest in the New York metropolitan area), nursing, biological sciences, bio-research, chemistry, restorative dentistry, and vision care. Student life/recreation areas, a 1,000-seat auditorium, and a 800-seat spectator gymnasium will also be featured within this new complex. Featuring a high-performance glazing system and natural day-lighting throughout to help reduce energy consumption, the project was designed to achieve Silver LEED certification. With its striking design-a cantilevered rectilinear academic volume hovering over the sculptural theater, gymnasium, and main lobby-the new academic building creates a new identity for the college and complements the surrounding area with an urban flare. Construction on the $406 million project is expected to be completed by early 2017. The new complex is being constructed on the site formerly occupied by the Klitgord Building.
Medgar Evers College Honors Veterans Day

edgar Evers College honors the more than 22 million United States veterans in all branches of the military. We humbly thank them for their unwavering dedication, service and sacrifice in protecting our great country. Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York is named after Medgar Wiley Evers, an AfricanAmerican civil rights activist who, while serving in World War II, became disheartened with the idea that he was fighting for freedom in another part of the world while African-Americans at home faced segregation and severe racism. Evers was assassinated for advancing the cause for freedom, justice and equality for all on June 12, 1963. As a veteran, Evers was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Today, we celebrate the life of Medgar Wiley Evers and the millions of other American veterans who sacrificed so much for this great land we call home. The Army ROTC currently has advanced Military Science classes

The Holiday Train Show is Back at the NY Botanical Gardens
t the New York Botanical Garden, no annual event is awaited with as much anticipation as the Holiday Train Show. Running through January 9, the Train Show offers New Yorkers (and visitors too!) a chance to see their city in a completely new way. See an exclusive, behind-the-scenes video of the making of the Train Show here. Garden-gauge trains zip along a quarter-mile of track past 140 beloved New York landmarks, including the original Yankee Stadium, St. Patricks Cathedral, and new this year, the Eero Saarinen-designed Trans World Airline Flight Center at John F. Kennedy Airport. Each iconic structure is masterfully crafted to scale from dried plant parts and arranged to create a dazzling miniature world inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatorya stunning Victorianstyle glasshouse and a landmark itself. Wander through the beautiful Conservatory under models of several of New York City's wonderful bridges. The bridges serve as a reminder that New York City is a city of islands. In fact, the borough that The New York Botanical Garden calls home, the Bronx, is the city's only borough located entirely on the North American mainland. Called "one of New York City's best holiday gifts to itself," and a chance to "see the city anew," by the New York Times, the Holiday Train Show is a winter wonderland full of twinkling lights, and the sights and sounds of New York City at its best.
But your winter journey isn't over once you've soaked in all the Holiday Train Show's sights! There are several "houses" left to explore within the Conservatory. Though they don't contain any trains or miniature buildings, they're still full of exceptional delights. Soak in some lovely heat and explore a tropical lowland rain forest from a new perspective; above! The upland rain forest is lush with ferns, orchid, and mosses, which thrive in this cool, misty, montane cloud forest. Two deserts--one of the Americas and the other of Africa--are full of spiky, surreal agaves and aloes, giant saguaro cactuses, and the odd "living stones" or Lithops. Then, head out into the Garden's Native Forest for a hike, or over to the Discovery Center for Gingerbread Adventures, where young and old alike can learn about the plants that give the holiday season's quintessential treat, gingerbread, its distinctive flavor. Practice your gingerbread house decorating skills on some gingersnaps, and if that whets your appetite, grab a snack or lunch at one of the Garden's two cafes. See a train-themed show in the Ross Lecture hall or cross a few names off your holiday shopping list in the Shop in the Garden. A day spent at The New York Botanical Garden's Holiday Train Show is a day of fun, wonder, and discovery for the entire family. Please consider buying your tickets ahead of your visit; peak hour tickets sell-out fast! In order to have a pleasant, stress-free visit, consider visiting the Train Show during nonpeak weeks.
