New York Mayor Unveils Plan To Renovate Notorious Rikers Island
What were you doing at 10-year-olds?
Shelden Gibbs is doing kid stuff too, but he has also jump started a fashion acces- sory line on the side.
Designing at least five ties a day, this now 11-year-old does all the designing, preparing of raw materials and sewing the final product under the watchful eye of his mom.
Shelden's entrepreneur- ial spirit was inspired when he realized the options for bow ties in designs he liked was very scarce. Now, he loves not only wearing his own product, but designing it
as well. He calls it his "pas- sion."
Now that business is boomin', Shelden and his "momager" says Classic Knot is looking to hire their first employees to help keep up with the heavy demand and faster turn around rate.
In the meantime, they're receiving a lot of help from family and friends. Shelden even shared that some of his classmates want to work for him.
In the meantime, you can order a necktie, bowtie and/or a matching handker- chief from the Classic Knot company website.
NEW YORK — While many criminal justice reform ac- tivists believe that the only way to address the horrific condi- tions at Rikers Island is to have it shut down, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio thinks otherwise. According to the New York Daily News, instead of shuttering the correctional facility, he will unveil a plan to renovate Rikers Island.

Advocates and other elected
officials say the only way to fix Rikers is to tear the place down and scatter modern jails in neighborhoods across the city – an idea staunchly opposed by some vocal groups in the com-
munities that would be af- fected.
Aside from the horrendous conditions inside of the facility, many criminal justice reform advocates say that Rikers Is- land should be closed down due to the population decrease in the city’s jails, reports the outlet.
Under his plan, the mayor will reportedly allocate $170 million to rebuild the Horizon center located in the Bronx to move young inmates off of Rik- ers Island.
At Rikers, he plans to add two new schools, two wings that will house 700 beds, and a mental health facility for in- mates.

NEW YORK CITY —- The Baltimore white supremacist who went to the Big Apple to kill Black people told police he thought he would get a thrill by slaughtering a young person — but was instead left in a confused “daze” after re- alizing he took the life of an old can collector, law-en- forcement sources said Sun- day.

into the chest and back of 66- year-old Timothy Caugh- man — a beloved autograph collector and trash recycler — he apparently made a pit stop. He went to the library.
Jackson is charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime.
