Putting It Another Way A Guide to African-American Culture JULY 1-7, 1991 (212) 627-5241 VOL. I NO. 6 LISTINGS INSIDE: ART • CABARETS • CONCERTS • DANCE DINING • FREE-FOR-ALL • THEATER PUTTING IT ANOTHER WAY ee Leagiton, president of L. Cee Enterprises and his wife and vice- L president, Connie Rose-Leagiton, have certainly not “advanced upon an appendage”* with their new game: Paraphrase…put another way. They have rather “struck the spike on the noggin”.* Paraphrase... is a unique and exciting word game that challenges players to recognize cleverly reworded phrases, cliches and other idiomatic expressions. (Read below to see how well you recognized the two Connie Rose-Leagiton & Lee Leagiton “paraphrases” in the preceding paragraph.) According to Connie and Lee, the seeds from which Paraphrase... sprung were planted during a “long and boring, seven hour drive from New Jersey to Virginia. It was spontaneous and fun...just something to break the monotony.” But long after the Leagiton’s returned home, they found themselves still playing this game they'd made up on the road, "It was almost obsessive. We played it all the time. When we were alone...when we had friends over...” One night while relaxing in bed, it struck them: maybe what they had come up with was a valid, viable and marketable game idea. Why wouldn’t others have as much fun with their paraphrase game as they and their friends were having? Months of research and plain, hard work followed. Finally, about a year ago, after several versions and refinements Paraphrase...put another way was born. In addition to providing hours of good, old fashioned— sometimes boisterous—fun for families and friends. Paraphrase... also provides a vigorous cerebral workout and exercise of one’s English language skills. * gone out on a limb/hit the nail on the head Paraphrase... is much more than parlor fun. And the Leagitons, quick to recognize the game's inherent value as an educational and language arts tool, have included the educational community in their marketing efforts. As a result, Paraphrase... has already stirred interest among secondary and college level educators; and fraternal and sororal organizations. Much of Connie and Lee's marketing activities have thus far been concentrated in the Central New Jersey and Baltimore areas. However, they will be introducing the competitively priced word game to retail and wholesale buyers in the New York community, June 28 through July 1, at Black Expo USA. the Javitz Center, New York City. L. Cee Enterprises also markets the game through direct sales, the Paraphrase House Party Plan and selected retail outlets. Address inquiries to: L.

  • The Best of Jamaica
    05_570641 ch01.qxd 7/14/04 10:06 AM Page 3 1 The Best of Jamaica Most visitors already have a mental picture of Jamaica before they arrive: its boisterous culture of reggae and Rastafarianism; its white-sand beaches; and its lush foliage, rivers, mountains, and clear waterfalls. Jamaica’s art and cuisine are also remarkable. Yet Jamaica’s appealing aspects have to be weighed against its poverty, crime, and racial tensions, the legacy of colonial rule and subsequent political upheavals. So, should you go? By all means. Just be prudent and cautious. The island has fine hotels and savory food. It’s well geared to heterosexual couples who come to tie the knot or celebrate a honeymoon. And Jamaica boasts the best golf courses in the West Indies, some of the finest diving waters in the world, and good river rafting. In this chapter we’ll lay out our favorite places and experiences. 1 The Best Beaches • Doctor’s Cave Beach (Montego sands are fine for families, though Bay): This 8km (5-mile) stretch of there are several (sectioned-off) white sand made “Mo Bay” a nudist patches where guests bare tourist destination.
