TIME FOR CHANGE

Written by Ralph E. Smith June 5, 2008

The Democratic Race for President has come to an end.  World history is being made.  Barack Obama could be the fiirst African American  President.

Its really time for the Democratic Party to move as one.  Hopefully the Clinton speech this week will address this.

If you drive a car anywhere in the United States, your extra dollars are going  into the gas tank. How can you pay your bills when you are putting $90.00 dollars worth of gas in your car to make $120.00 for the day. 

It's Time For Change.  It's Time for Barack Obama.  There are thousands of members who make up Guardian Associations in New York City and through out the United States.  The Guardian Associations are made up of African American Law Enforcement and community groups who can help change history with their vote and news stories read daily in the guardianchronicle.com

It's time to create a bridge for communication with those in the Mid-East and create a policy that promotes peace.

MEET THE JONES FAMILY

Click For World Preview!

Remember those family reunions in North Carolina. Eating chicken on 95 South on your way to Butter Milk Country. We learned how to bring the food because in the 1950's black people were not allowed in many hotels along the road.  People of color learned how to over come, rise up and achieve anything we could conceive. 

 

 

 

 

Hands On Leadership:  The Guardian Chronicle was on the move this  weekend taking Mrs. Renee E. Smith to see the wonderful play "Platanos & Collard Greens.

Shaquan Smith had the  opportunity to meet Rev. Sharpton and the Dr. of the Airwaves Imhotep Gary Byrd.  Both men looking great and doing what the village leaders need to do:  Taking time to reach out to the young.

On May 9, 350 NYCD Transportation Staff gathered together for the 2008

Transportation Division Reunion. 

So many conversations to catch up on years since

being retired.  This wasn't about lets sit down and have a meal and go home.

You really didn't need tables because everyone was moving around

throwing hugs and smiles. This was a great reunion of friends.

Subject: Lenny Holmes

Ralph,

I'm glad to see you cover the passing of Lenny Holmes in a positive and dignified way; a way which I have come to expect of you because you always represented yourself as a class act.

Lenny Holmes was a very good man to many of us at NYCD. As recruits, as fellow Correction Officers, and as co-workers at the Correction Academy, he always looked out for us in a big brotherly kind of way.

I will miss seeing into him on Conduit Blvd on his horse; and will always remember how he tried to guide us during our careers. I will miss his laugh and his stories. The lives of Correction personnel that Lenny has touched reads like a Who's Who of NYCD.

My sincere condolences to his family.

May he rest in peace.

Dominick Provisiero
"Capt Pro"

PS: Keep up the good work, Ralph. Proud of you!
