SUCCESS or SIGNIFICANCE?
WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOOSE?
Many people strive to be successful in life. Success can be defined dif-
ferently based on WHO you ask—whether that’s being a successful
owner, thriving business professional, or the best street sweeper in town!
Many people work to see accolades or recognition from their boss or
their peers. It could be praise or recognition from a group, classmates,
organization, church…or…just being part of “Who’s Who” in the com-
munity. Many people strive off recognition and praise. Success for some
could be reaching a certain economic status, living in a certain area, hav-
ing career-driven children, taking that dream trip, getting kids through
college, shopping at Nordstrom’s (LAWD!!!!! I can’t go there even with
a coupon during a holiday sale…LOL!!!). In other words, we all strive
to be successful in one way or another. As I have gotten older, over the
years I have found that success is a wonderful feeling to know that you
have completed or obtained something in this life. However, at the end
of the day, I would rather be more significant than anything else! There
is a thin line between significance and success. Success defined is the
attainment of popularity or profit. Significance is having or likely to
have influence or effect. What’s the difference to me? SUCCESS is
being acknowledged for your work that you have done. SIGNIFI-
CANCE is your children acknowledging that you are a good parent.
SUCCESS is living in a big house with a large fenced in yard or driving
a certain car. SIGNIFICANCE is filling that house with adopted kids—
or giving someone a ride who has no car. SUCCESS is being publicly
acknowledged for your accomplishments. SIGNIFICANCE is secretly
impacting others’ lives without the parade. SUCCESS could be building
an empire. SIGNIFICANCE could be building someone else up. SIG-
NIFICANCE is all the things the world does not see. SIGNIFICANCE
is the little things that leave a legacy well beyond our timeline.
SO…WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT ARE YOU STRIVING FOR?
JUST THINK AS YOU ARE STRIVING…
ARE YOU MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT?
A Few Holiday Notices…
FEEDING HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES!
The Brookland Park Area Association (B.P.A.A.) will be conduct-

They’re hoping to feed at least another hundred families this year…
BUT…THEY NEED YOUR HELP! Their goal is to raise $3,000
and all they’re asking for is a $15 donation that will help to purchase
a full dinner for a family. The dinners will be distributed throughout
the eight (8) schools in Northside. Please help with any amount
you can so that they can BRING SOME JOY TO FOLKS THIS
HOLIDAY SEASON! For more information, please contact Willie

UPDATE…Battery Park Dog Park!
“For the past year, a group of dedicated Northside neighbors has been
working to bring a new dog park to our neighborhood. Several sites were
reviewed and a site has been selected in Southern Barton Heights near
the First Tee of Richmond Golf Course at the intersection of Greenwood
Avenue and Home Street. The new location is across the street to the
south of our original preferred location. Large scale outreach events
have taken place in the neighborhood around the site, including a can-
vassing day of knocking on doors, speaking to neighbors, and gathering
feedback about the potential new dog park. The response has been over-
whelmingly positive and neighbors seem excited about the prospect of a
new community dog park!
THE GOAL is a truly community-oriented park that will provide space for
neighbors, both human and canine, to meet and connect with one
another.
Recently, Shelley Campbell, a dog owner and Battery Park resident, met
with the Director of the Parks Department along with several other mem-
bers of the Parks Department about the site. We are one step closer to
making this park a reality. At this point, we are looking to raise funds to
help develop the park. Additionally, if anyone is or knows a landscape
architect willing to donate a few hours’ time to this project, we would
love the help in coming up with a great park design. If you have any
questions, comments, or just want to look at our history or follow
our progress, please “like” our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/

ROBBERY PREVENTION...
Things You Should Know About Robberies
A robbery is the taking of goods and/or property from another using
force or threats. Because of potential harm to employees and custo-
mers…
ROBBERY IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY
THOSE ENGAGED IN CASH TRANSACTIONS. A firearm is used in
42% of the offenses. Robberies occur because the criminal has the
ability, the desire, and the opportunity to commit the crime. We can-
not affect the criminal’s ability or desire to commit the crime, BUT
we can hinder the opportunity.
To prevent the crime, one must remove the
opportunity and that means hardening the target!
PREVENTION STRATEGIES: Keep windows clean; place mir-
rors in blind spots; remove line-of-sight obstructions; maintain good
interior and exterior lighting. CASH CONTROL: Preset cash limits
on money drawers; limit view along cashier line; designate safe room
for cash counting; bait money with money clip alarm. PHYSICAL
SECURITY MEASURES: Place height tape on doors; post crime
prevention signage; install panic/crises buttons; install door tone sig-
nals; install monitors; train employees to be alert and courteous.
ACTIONS TO TAKE DURING A ROBBERY
DO stay calm; DO cooperate—obey the robber’s commands; DO
tell the robber about any surprises and/or other employees in the
store; DO observe what the robber looks like and what he is wear-
ing; DO activate the alarm when safe to do so; DON’T argue with
the robber; DON’T fight with the robber; DON’T use weapons.
AFTER THE ROBBERY
Phone the police immediately! Remember descriptions (height,
weight, race, age, clothing, last known direction of travel, automobile
description. Be safe…don’t chase! Do not touch anything the rob-
ber may have touched. Secure the doors to your business! Get in-
formation from witnesses if they must leave before the police ar-
rive.

The Curly Piece by Maddie Chapman

I suppose it is safe to say that we are fully submerged in the glorious
leaf-changing season that is fall. Fall on the northern hemisphere can
be quite unpredictable; pine or lavender scented candles are quickly re-
placed with pumpkin spice or cinnamon sugar aromas. Green leaves
suspended from the tree tops, once bright and green, now hang with an
orange-yellowish hue, resembling pumpkins and gourds on doorsteps.
Welcome Officer Santana! With all this undeniable change in the atmosphere, I can’t help but think
that MAYBE IT’S TIME TO CHANGE SOMETHING FOR MYSELF.
I began writing for Northside Vibes last fall—a year ago! Since then
I’ve been writing for this wonderful paper—contributing writings main-
ly refined, but not limited to spreading positivity—no matter the cir-
cumstances! The motive was to improve everyday attitude into
something that would INFLUENCE READERS TO BE-
COME KIND, MORE AWARE INDIVIDUALS, AND
SELFISHLY I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER
A YEAR… I ACHIEVED THAT GOAL!
I’m fairly certain that IF I HADN’T MOVED TO RICHMOND WHEN I DID, I
WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE A VOICE AND BE A
PART OF “THE GOOD NEWSpaper”. However, something that is far more
marvelous than that personal revelation is discovering others with ex-
periences and opportunities similar to my own.
THIS YEAR I would like to introduce friends of mine who also share
love for creating, performing, and influencing artistry around the City
of Richmond. This city, where I’ve learned so much, is breeding ground
for creativity and kindness!
With the power of conversation and my trusty pen and paper, I WILL
TRY TO EXPLAIN “EXACTLY” HOW RICHMOND CULTIVATES
AND INFLUENCES ENDLESS ARTISTIC POSSIBILITIES FOR
MORE THAN JUST MYSELF. I’m looking forward to taking a leap and
broadening this little 350 word column into something more inclusive.

RPD Welcomes New Hispanic Liaison
Chief Alfred Durham has named Officer Kenia Marte Santana as the Richmond Police Department’s new Hispanic Liaison to serve the community.
A Richmond native, Officer Marte Santana previously worked in patrol at Second Precinct where she developed strong relationships with the Latino
community. “It is an honor for me to be able to work with my beloved community,” said Officer Marte Santana. “I want to continue to enhance
the relationship between RPD officers and members of the Hispanic community.”
In her new role, Officer Marte Santana will continue to build community trust with the police through community crime prevention academies,
community meetings, and safety seminars. She will also provide assistance with interpretations for officers and detectives during investigations.

 NSV Business News You Can Use! Reward Employees!
COMMUNITY SUPERSTARS… 3 VALUED SUPPORTERS WHO’VE ADVERTISED WITH US NON-STOP FOR 4 YEARS!
ATTENTION EMPLOYERS! How Are
YOU Rewarding Your Valued Employees?
Need a Little “Friendly” Advice?
The Flavor News Crew has been conversing with many individuals (em-
ployees), visiting several businesses, and conducting a little research re-
garding VALUED EMPLOYEES who deserve to be rewarded.
As many of us know, it’s hard to find employment for some folks.
Well…it’s also hard to find (and keep—for some) GOOD, LOYAL,
DEDICATED, RELIABLE, COMMITTED employees. Yes! They do
exist—and yes, they need to know they’re appreciated so they will want
to stay and “continue” doing a great job (smile!). So…here are a few
tips if you’re an employer, especially small businesses with a limited
budget: Take the team to a co-working space for the day! Some-
times getting out of the office is a great way to give your team a little
break from the typical routine and also help spark some new creativity
and production. If you don’t want to take your entire team out of your
office for the day, purchase a few passes to local co-working spots and
reward employees with the option to work at different spaces.
Gift books for personal and professional development: READING
IS SOMETHING THAT PROVIDES SO MANY BENEFITS—
both professionally and personally, but it’s something a lot of people
don’t make time for. “When you give an employee a book that is rele-
vant to their line of work or in some way tied to a personal interest, you
are showing him or her that you genuinely care about their well-being.
When an employee knows that you care about them and they are not
just a number, they will tend to give you more effort and production,”
explains Matthew Travers, Executive Vice President to Lead to Conver-
sion. Provide all employees with a gym membership: Gifting your
team members with a gym membership shows them that you care about
their HEALTH, and it’s a relatively low-cost way to receive the benefit
of increased mental clarity and production. Working out on a regular
basis has proven to give you more energy and focus! “There are a lot
of gyms, both local and franchises, that have options as low as $10 per
month. When you consider this as an investment in your employees,
the cost factor is a no-brainer. Your company benefits and your employ-
ees benefit, creating a win-win reward,” suggests Neil Peterson, CEO
of Repair Credit. Catered Lunch: Food is one of the best motivators,
especially when it comes to rewarding sales goals of reaching specific
milestones. “Food is a very powerful motivator, and something as sim-
ple as announcing an office catered lunch as a reward can give your
team the extra boost to reach a higher plateau. It also creates a great
team-bonding environment and there are many low-cost options. You
don’t have to go over the top—a catered taco spread can be inexpensive
and well received,” says David Burns, owner of Waldo Financial. You
can often work out deals with local companies, as many will offer you
a low price simply to introduce your employees to their restaurant, in
hopes that they gain a new customer for the future. There is also a good
chance you already have some connections and relationships that you
can leverage, so be sure to explore all options for barter or trade.
After work team outing: There are many FUN TEAM ACTIVITIES
that you can organize for after hours that acts as a reward, as well as a
team-building exercise. Personally, I like Top Golf or bowling, because
it mixes a social environment with a competitive activity. I find this to
be the most beneficial. “Dinner, a movie, or even a fun environment
like a trampoline park or Dave and Busters, is a nice reward that allows
your employees to let their guard down a bit and enjoy themselves while
also getting to know each other outside of the office. This can be a great
overall company culture booster,” advises James Davis, Operations Ma-
nager of HiFISoundconnection.com. A Visa Gift Card: What is one
gift you can never go wrong with? A gift card! When you don’t know
what to get someone for a birthday or holiday, a gift card is the easy
way out—but it’s always welcomed with open arms! When you reward
an employee with a Visa gift card, you give them the option to use it for
whatever they wish—whether it’s at their favorite retail store or for es-
sentials—like gas. It’s like giving them a cash bonus,” says Brian Can-
ter, CEO of Auto.Loan. You can find Visa gift cards at many large retail
9
CONTINUED… stores like Target or Walmart, or you can buy them
from their official website. Create company awards: “Creating com-
pany awards gives your team something to work hard towards, and of-
ten times a plaque or trophy will provide more incentive and motivation
than financial compensation,” suggests Ross N.C. Vince, Technical Di-
rector of Mass Appeal. “Employees love competition and giving them
a tangible award to go after can increase friendly competition.” Many
business owners think that employees will only care about high-value
rewards, such as fancy watches or vacations. That is not the case at all,
and there are several websites that allow you to buy one-off custom a-
wards between $25 and $50. You can also create one large award or
trophy and allow its current recipient to display it at his or her desk.
Priority office parking: “Most office complexes come with some pre-
mium parking spaces and then the rest in a general lot—and if this is
the situation at your office, you can use those premium spaces as a re-
ward. It’s something that doesn’t cost you any additional money—and
even if you have to give up your own spot once in a while, happy em-
ployees are well worth it,” suggests Christopher Simon of Christopher
Simon Attorney At Law. Convenience is a reward that many employ-
ees will work hard to attain—even something as simple as a closer
parking spot or valet parking. It makes them FEEL GOOD and it’s a
reward that the rest of the company sees them achieve, which gives
them a feeling of accomplishment and self-worth. Employees that feel
good will perform much better for you. Team lunch with C-level exe-
cutives: Setting up regular interactions between your employees at all
positions and seniority levels with your higher-level executives is a
great way to build relationships—and at the same time—reward em-
ployees for a job well done! “Getting employees together with top C-
level executives creates conversation, which greatly benefits the
growth and direction of the company,” explains Christopher Kerr, VP
of Marketing at Earnhardt Auto Centers. “Employees that know their
suggestions and input are valued will take more pride in their job and
then come forward with more suggestions in the future.” If you find
the time to do this—even just once a quarter—you will see significant
improvements! You can also do it on a large-scale stage, giving you the
ability to reward several employees at the same time and get the most
out of the time. Tickets to local entertainment: “Local sports teams,
concerts and other special shows are fun events, but often things that
many people skip simply because their budget doesn’t allow for it,”
says John C. Stacy, VP of Sales and Marketing for Peek’s Floor Co.
“Gifting tickets to these types of events—or even just movie tickets—
is a nice gesture that shows someone their work is appreciated.” To
stay up-to-date with local events, you can set up alerts on sites like Tic-
ketmaster of StubHub and select the closest stadiums and venues to
your office. While you can’t do it all the time, if a special event is roll-
ing into town, tickets are a great way to reward your best employees,
and one they will greatly appreciate! Johnathan Long is the founder of
Uber Brands, an e-commerce brand development agency. Special
thanks to Manta for providing us with these helpful (GOOD) tipsters!

Four Pillars of Healthy Living
By Dr. Pamela Hamilton-Stubbs
Physical activity along with a healthy diet, lots of clean drinking water,
and adequate amounts of sleep could extend your life expectancy. Most
Americans don’t get enough physical activity. The Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans, published by the USA government, recom-
mends 60 minutes of physical aerobic activity “daily” for children
6-17 (there are no specifications for those five and under), and 30
minutes “daily” for adults ages 18-64.
Adults 18-64 should get at least 2 ½ hours (150 minutes) each week
of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity. You need to do this
type of activity for at least 10 minutes at a time as intervals shorter than
this do not have the same health benefits.
Adults should also do strengthening activities, like push-ups, sit-ups
and lifting weights, at least two days a week. Engaging in a variety
of activities like aerobic exercises, muscle-strengthening activities and
bone-strengthening activities will keep you excited about your daily
workout.
Aerobic activities require moderate physical effort and include, but are
not limited to: biking slowly, canoeing, ballroom dancing, general gar-
dening, using your manual wheelchair, arm cycling, walking briskly,
and water aerobics. Examples of vigorous activities are basketball,
jumping rope, running or bicycling on hills, soccer, swimming laps, and
martial arts.
Muscle strengthening activities work all the major muscle groups:
legs, hips, back, chest, stomach, shoulders, and arms. These activities
include, but are not limited to: lifting weights, push-ups, sit-ups, and
working with resistance bands. Don’t have weights? Common house-
hold items such as bottled water and soup cans can also be used. Bone-
strengthening activities produce a force on the bones that promotes bone
growth and strength. This force is commonly produced by impact with
the ground.
These activities can also be aerobic and muscle-strengthening like run-
ning, jumping rope, basketball, tennis and hopscotch.
Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep every night and don’t forget to drink
plenty of water. Most women need just under one gallon. Men need
about one gallon of water per day. When temperatures rise, increase
fluid intake to avoid dehydration. Find more tips on sleep and healthy
living at http://www.drhamiltonstubbs.com.

HONORING ONE OF THE BRAVEST
WOMEN IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
YES!!! HAVING AN ANNUAL
MAMMOGRAM IS THAT IMPORTANT!!!
The birthday gift she gave to herself each year was to have a mammo-
gram. She sporadically did self-breast examinations, but was not con-
cerned—there is no history of breast cancer in her family. Her diet is
pretty good—and she exercises 3 to 4 times per week. This year she
scheduled her mammogram appointment…BUT…
“THIS” YEAR WOULD BE DIFFERENT.
After the initial test, she was informed that the doctor needed a few more
views of her breast. After comparing the previous mammograms with
the most recent one, it was determined that there was a growth—and a
biopsy would be needed to determine what type of growth it was. It
would take a couple of days to get the pathology report back. By the
way, she was scheduled to take a vacation—so off for some fun with the
girls! Upon her return, she contacted the physician and to her dismay…
SHE WAS INFORMED THAT SHE HAD STAGE 1 “BREAST CANCER”!
While this is not what she wanted to hear
IT WAS “GOOD NEWS” BECAUSE IT WAS CAUGHT EARLY…
AND…IS…TREATABLE!
The meeting with the breast surgeon was scheduled and treatment op-
tions were discussed. She is scheduled for a lumpectomy (removal of
the tumor) and will meet with the oncologist to further discuss treatment
options. BREAST CANCER CAUGHT EARLY IS NOT A DEATH
SENTENCE AND NUMEROUS ADVANCES HAVE BEEN MADE FOR THE
TREATMENT OF BREAST CANCER. Her future is looking bright AND
she has the love, care and support of family and friends.
In case you are wondering who “she” is… she is ME!
I hope my story will encourage you to have your annual mammogram
and encourage your friends to have one too! PLEASE DO A MONTHLY SELF-
BREAST EXAMINATION! IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO EXAMINE YOUR

Sports BREAST, PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR TO SHOW YOU HOW. Additionally,
talk with your doctor about risk factors associated with breast cancer.
