86 year old Lucille Singleton
Lucille Singleton is no stranger to finishing races. The 86 year old Harlem resident has been running for 27 years, has served as a New York City Road Runner volunteer for 28 years, and has completed three New York City Marathons. So when she fell during the 400 meter race at the Empire State Senior Games this past weekend, she new she needed to get up and finish the race. “When I fell one of the volunteers came over worried about me and asked whether I was alright. I jumped up and continued running, and ended up winning the race.” That’s right, Ms. Singleton won the 400 meter women’s Gold Metal at the Empire State 2010 Senior Games, as well as the 100M Gold Metal, and the 200M Gold Metal.
The 2010 Empire State Senior Games are held at SUNY Cortland Stadium in Cortland, New York and is an organized sports and leisure program conducted by the New York State Office of Parks and Recreation & Historic Preservation for New York State Residents aged 50 and older. The Games goals are to encourage fitness as a life long activity, provide recreational opportunities for seniors and to promote fitness, fun and fellowship for seniors. The Senior Games attract nearly 200 athletes, along with guest and their families from across New York State. A native of Charleston, South Carolina Ms. Singleton enjoys running, staying fit, working out, and showing off her Gold metals at Harlem’s New York Sports Club.

Obama is not above all this, but he has made savvy political calculations and has taken pains, in the name of “civility,” to eschew any display of his own anger. His denunciation of Jeremiah Wright’s jeremiads were a necessary pre-election affirmation of the old deal. Angry black men need not apply. Obama’s repudiation of his own use of the word “stupidly” to characterize the Cambridge police department headed off a losing confrontation with police unions everywhere. And his current refusal to be drawn into a racial analysis of Joe Wilson’s “You lie!” is at the service of a focused political effort to get health-care reform through Congress. Civility is a virtue, but it is also a trump card.
Someone at the 32nd Police Precinct in Harlem defaced a Post-It note with a racist lettering, but the NYPD didn’t do much about it, one black officer says. Last month Officer Carla Thomas found that someone wrote “KKK” on a Post-It note she kept on a straw mat in her office; she had previously written on the note that the mat was “symbolic of African tradition and history.” She filed a complaint with the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, but claims the office only investigated after others complained about the incident. Since then, the investigation was closed without finding out who was responsible. Continue reading
