Hindu Swastika: Sacred Faith & Auspiciousness 

Nazi Logo is Hate Symbol

SCHOOL OFFICIALS SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR DEFENDING COUNSELING OF THE 8 YRS OLD FOR DRAWING HINDU SWASTIKA JAN. 7, 2013

Dear Dr. Brennon (Superintendent of School):

We are shocked to see one sided/misrepresentation rather complete lies attributed to you in various news papers in reference to Dec.4^TH, 2012 Swastika drawing by an 8 yrs old along with Christmas Tree as part of Holiday drawing assignment. You are blatantly claiming that teacher aid has apologized to the student that is a complete lie. The teacher aid verbally did apologized to the mother only but not in writing that is required by looking at the gravity of the situation and the offense she has committed of traumatizing an 8 yrs old for her own ignorance. She has hurt the religious feelings of not only the 8 yrs old but the entire Hindu community of America. 

Dr. Bernnan you should be ashamed of yourself for defending the Counseling of the 8yrs old for drawing Hindu Swastika. In fact you are defending all the three educators; the teacher aid, counselor as well as the principle. We fully support Raelian Guide Thomas Kaenzig that “it’s not the child who needs counseling but the teacher aide who complained about the child’s drawing, the counselor and the principle who approved counseling.” All three must be counseled on Hinduism as well as on Swastika.

It is very strange how come these Educators catering to the multi-religious society; Principle, Counselor and Teacher Aid are so ignorant about Hindu symbols? The fact is the township they are catering to has more than 8% Hindu population. It was their basic responsibility as educators to know that the Swastika symbol 3^RD Grader drew, originated in 2000BC and is not the symbol Swastika the rotated distortion of Hindu Swastika, must be called "NAZI LOGO" the Nazis has used. The one used by Nazi’s is markedly different and the differences are clearly visible to human eyes.

Hindu Swastika is always drawn with red vermillion and can be drawn on any surface including human body, on the head after complete head shave off of a child as per Hindu rituals. It is a symbol of faith and auspiciousness and used for all religious ceremonies including Hindu weddings.

On the other hand Nazi Logo is drawn with black in a white circle within a red square and it is a symbol of hate.

These Educators before traumatizing the 8 yrs old should have spoken to a Hindu Priest or the parent of the child concerning the matter for which they themselves are completely ignorant. These educators have hurt the religious feelings of the child and also the Religious Feelings of the entire Hindu community living in New Jersey and other parts of America.

On top of that these ignorant Educators lost an opportunity to present the child’s drawing as a show case on “Unity in Diversity”. The child has drawn Hindu Swastika & Christmas Tree that represent Christianity, together on one sheet. Educators could have shared this with the child’s classmates rather with every student of the school by explaining them the meaning of both symbols.

Since Middlesex County is home to a large Hindu population; on behalf of the community we demand that all Educators in Middlesex County Schools must be educated about Hindu Religious Symbols keeping in mind that Hinduism is practiced by almost 1 Billion people around the world.

8 yrs old Traumatized for drawing Hindu Swastika by Teachers in America

A bizarre incident took place at an Elementary School in Middlesex County of New Jersey (USA) on Dec. 4, 2012 . As part of 3^RD Grade School work children were asked to draw a symbol of a holiday they celebrate. Innocently an 8 yrs old drew a Hindu Swastika along with a Christmas Tree. When the class teacher saw the drawing she knew it what significance it has for Hindus. But an ignorant Teacher Aid took strong offense to it. According to the people familiar with the incident; despite few other staff members telling the Teacher Aid that it is not Nazi Swastika she was not prepared to listen to any one. She kept on saying she has been offended and her religious feelings have been hurt. It is hate towards her and her community.

The Teacher Aid insisted that the 8 yrs old must get counseling right away and she was backed by the Principle. Without the knowledge and permission of the parents the child was counseled by the Counselor under racial bias. The poor parent in the evening could not figure out why their 8 yrs old was looking visibly frightened and traumatized. On being questioned the child stated crying and throwing up. In bits and pieces they were able to get some story from the child. Further, the child, in a traumatized voice asked them what the child had done wrong. The parents were also lost why their 8 yrs old has been traumatized and harassed physically, emotionally and mentally in the name of Counseling for no reason that too without their knowledge and permission?

Next day the couple met the Principle who told them that their child was doing a school project where a "staff member" got very upset for what was drawn on paper. The child got upset and was counseled but it was not on the directive of that “staff member.” The child must understand that “when you are out with other people they may see things differently”. What the child has drawn “Every where else it is used as a hate symbol”. The parents tried to explain that it is a universal fact Swastika is just as sacred for Hindus as a cross for Christians or a Star of David for Jews. Then the Principle stated that if any child had drawn other religious symbols such as the Star of David or Cross of Jesus, then they would have been counseled the same way! Parent protested still they should have been asked for permission first. Principle said that they are fully entitled to counsel any student for any reason without the permission of their parent.

The parent told the Principle that only person that needed counseling is the staff member who they know was upset for no apparent reason because of ignorance and not prepared to understand the importance of Swastik for Hindus. On Dec. 9^th parent filed a Complaint with the School Board and County School Superintendent against the Principle, Counselor and the Teacher Aid; demanding proper investigation into the conduct of all 3 and Teacher Aid must give written apology and must seek counseling from a Hindu Priest or a Scholar. In case she refuses to give written apology she must be dismissed.

Dec. 28, 2012 Dear Mr. Stewart, (Middlesex County Superintendent)

I'm writing you on behalf of the 70,000 members of the International Raelian Movement (http://www.rael.org/) regarding an incident that took place earlier this month at one of your schools where an 8 year old student was forced to undergo counseling for drawing a swastika for a school project.

The swastika is part of the official Raelian symbol that was given to us by our dear creators the Elohim and represents infinity in time. There cannot be a more "sacred" symbol for us Raelians and this is also the case for the billions of Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and members of other religions on this planet. To reprimand a Hindu child for drawing a swastika is highly offensive to all of us and totally unacceptable. It is not the 8 year old who needs counseling but the teacher aid who complained about the symbol, the counselor as well as the principal who approved the counseling. They need to be informed about the beautiful origin of this symbol that can be found throughout the world, on every continent, since the beginnings of humanity and where it has been a  symbol of peace, harmony and good luck for thousands of years. We have actually put together a very informative website on the swastika symbol and I really hope that you will pass on this link to your staff:  http://www.proswastika.org

As you can see on our website the swastika is widely used even throughout Israel:

http://www.proswastika.org/page.php?4.2  and following pages.

Synagogues in various countries are decorated with swastikas like this Jewish synagogue in Verona (Italy): http://www.proswastika.org/page.php?6.64

By associating the swastika with the Nazis, we only give credit to the monstrosities of this horrible regime. Symbols have been abused throughout history and hence the importance of explaining people their true origin. Imagine the outcry amongst Christians worldwide if an African American teacher aid would take offense in a Christian child's drawing of a cross for a Christmas school project because the teacher aid's ancestors were killed by the Ku Klux Klan.

And I highly doubt that any of your principals would approve racial bias counseling for a Jewish child drawing a star of David for a school Christmas project that would have offended a teacher aid from Palestine whose family was slaughtered by the Israeli army. If such counseling would be approved, all staff involved would probably be dismissed within a few days and you would have to resign too.  Such a double standard is unacceptable and we expect at the very least a sincere apology to all  those for who the swastika is a highly sacred symbol.

Sincerely,

Thomas Kaenzig (Raelian Guide)

ANTI-BULLYING LAW OF NJ IS ANTI-MINORITY & UN-CONSTITUTIONAL

New Jersey Anti-Bullying Law is Anti-Minority & Un-Constitutional. It can damage 8-14 yrs old emotionally, mentally & physically; especially from minority communities. 

Governor Christie the Anti-Minority Face of Republican Party & Assemblyman Chivukula the Anti-Minority Face of Democrat Party.

A PETITION WAS FILED BY ATTORNEY HINDS TO NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR, ASSEMBLY & SENATE ON FEB. 18, 2012 FOR PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON THIS LAW. ALL OF THEM ARE TAKING NO ACTION.

The ill-educated absentee Governor Chris Christie along with ill-educated Lawmakers in Senate and Assembly passed an Anti-Minority and Anti-JuvenileAnti-Bullying Law One Size Fits All in Jan. 2011 without reading it without caring for the emotional, mental and physical well being as well as self esteem of 8 to 14 years old. This law is applicable to 8yrs old to 28yrs old students of New Jersey. No public comments were ever asked for such a sensitive Law concerning 8-14 yrs old especially minority students from their parents, teachers, psychiatrist and social workers. It was implemented in Schools in Sep. 2011 and at majority of the Schools no prior training was ever given to the students about the Law and consequences of its violation. Some School administrators have yet to implement this Law because along with some other organizations they have strong reservations about this “One Size Fits All Anti-Bullying Law” designed by Law makers of New Jersey famous for not reading any Bill even if it will be adopted as Law concerning juveniles. 

On Dec. 15, 2011 it was brought to the notice of all the Lawmakers and Governor that there are serious flaws in the Law as far as 8-14 yr old are concerned. Despite numerous written requests and a representation by Attorney Lennox Hinds on behalf of a parent Mr. Mohan Gandhi on Feb. 18, 2012 to Governor, Senate and Assembly, the lawmakers have no time to reply to this important issue concerning the well being of NJ children. 

They are ignoring the fact that even the United States Supreme Court says that"children cannot be viewed simply as miniature adults" because a child's age is more than a chronological fact." Rather, it is a fact that "generates commonsense conclusions about behavior and perception.' "Children generally are less mature and responsible than adults." "They often lack the experience, perspective and judgment to recognize and avoid choices that could be detrimental to them."  

This law is denying due process rights of self or legal representation, to present material evidence or cross examine witnesses in violation of US constitution. Under this law 8-14 yr old can be interrogated in the absence of their parent or guardian and a biased Educator can even force them to admit in writing that they have done bullying that they may not have done. This forced admission is then used against that child even with no prior history of any wrong doing and with excellent academic record that he/she has done bulling for punishment as well as put on their School record permanently. They are not provided with the charging instrument and have no right to cross examine their accuser or witnesses or the educators who made the report. Now the child is branded as a bully on his School Record and among his/her piers. To Fight this gross injustice one needs $15,000.00 to $30,000.00 and more than one year to get the record straight. The ill-educated unionized Law makers of New Jersey; majority are attorneys have deliberately crafted this Bill to fill up the pockets of Attorneys and in some cases their own pockets if they are practicing attorneys in School Related Matters.

ATTORNEY LENNOX HINDS

The New Jersey Anti-Bullying Policy Is Subject to Constitutional Challenges On the Grounds of Overbroad & Vague Statutory Language

Federal constitutional law provides that a regulation is unconstitutionally vague, and thus a violation of due process, if it does not give fair notice of the regulation's reach and requires students to guess as to the contours of its proscriptions. Although a school has a certain degree of flexibility in its disciplinary procedures, its regulations may still be found to be unconstitutionally vague or overbroad. The most common reason for a court to sustain a vague or overbroad challenge of a school policy is when specific terms within the policy are not defined. Specificity of terms is especially important when the policy’s regulations are content-based regulation of speech.

A plain review of the New Jersey ’s anti-bullying law and anti-bullying policy shows that they are susceptible to overbroad and vagueness constitutional challenges. For example, the Policy’s prohibition against harassment, intimidation, and bullying applying to “any gesture, any written, verbal or physical act, or any electronic communication” “that has the effect of insulting or demeaning any pupil or group of pupils” can easily be construed as unconstitutionally vague and overbroad because it seeks to regulate public school students and officials speech and behavior without compass or guidance as to the parameters of the policy.

LIST OF LAWMAKERS ADMITTING THEY NEVER READ THE BILL BEFORE SIGNING IT & A LAWMAKER ON FACEBOOK

Senator Linda Greenstein: Mr. Gandhi talked to her for almost 20 minutes at a Indian event her husband was also there. I kept her asking point balnk “did she read the bill before signing it?” She kept on circumventing the question by saying attorneys review it and even Governor’s office his legal staff vetted the Bill. She was explained in details about the objections of Attorney Lennox Hinds. She said send me all the information I will look into it. That was sent next day and she has yet to reply despite repeated reminders.

Dear Mr. Gandhi:  Thank you for contacting our offices regarding the state’s Anti-Bullying Law. We can assure you that the legislation underwent a thorough legal and constitutional review as a piece of legislation and then underwent a second review by the Governor’s Counsel before the bill was signed into law. However, we will keep your comments under advisement. Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with us on a matter of personal importance. 

Sincerely,

Senator Sam Thompson: Admitted that he never read the Bill at a Iftar Party (Aug. 16) His reason is attorneys draft it.

Assemblyman Chivukula: “I never read it and no one reads the Bills unless that person is seriously involved with the Bill. (August 26 in a Indian gathering at Warren)

Reply by Gandhi 9-10-12

Give this statement to media to expose those who signed it without reading it. Republican Senator Sam Thompson & Democrat Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula has admitted that they never read the bill before signing it. Their excuse is it was written by attorneys and no one reads the bills!

Gary Chiusano 9-10-12

I read the bills. In the future, if you want to discuss any legislative items with me, please contact me through my legislative office. Do not use Facebook to contact me regarding legislative issues. Thank you.

Reply by Gandhi 9-10-12

Please be advised all the lawmakers including you were sent numerous e-mails on this issue. When my own Representatives Tom Kean, Bramnick & Munoz has failed to respond then I have no complaint against you. Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver received written communication from me in Dec 2011 and Jan. 2012 from my Attorney Hinds should have shared that information with her Assembly colleagues including you. It is almost a year she has not replied to me or my attorney. The worst is Big Fat Fraud Governor Christie he received every thing by mail, by hand on Dec.21, 2011 at Spotswood and again by mail in Jan 2012 from my attorney Lennox Hinds; has yet to respond. 

I have been forced to raise this issue on Social Media with NJ Lawmakers because of their apathy and probably lack of concern for the minorities; especially children in the age group of 8-14yrs old. I am trying to digest how could these lawmakers can disrespect US Supreme Court with impunity in broad day light?  How could these lawmakers can make a law “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” for 8yrs old to 28yrs old Student? They are ignoring the fact that even the United States Supreme Court says that "children cannot be viewed simply as miniature adults" because a child's age is more than a chronological fact." Rather, it is a fact that "generates commonsense conclusions about behavior and perception.' "Children generally are less mature and responsible than adults." "They often lack the experience, perspective and judgment to recognize and avoid choices that could be detrimental to them."

Harassment, Intimidation, Bullying Definition from NJSA: 18A:37-14:

"Harassment, intimidation or bullying" means any gesture, any written, verbal or physical act, or any electronic communication, whether it be a single incident or a series of incidents, that is reasonably perceived as being motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or a mental, physical or sensory disability, or by any other distinguishing characteristic, that takes place on school property, at any school-sponsored function, on a school bus, or off school grounds as provided for in section 16 of P.L.2010, c.122 (C.18A:37-15.3), that substantially disrupts or interferes with the orderly operation of the school or the rights of other students and that:

Dear Mr. Gandhi:

Thank you for contacting my office regarding your concerns on New Jersey ’s recently enacted, “Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act.” I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your concerns on this issue.

As you are aware, Assembly Bill 3466 was passed by both the houses of the New Jersey Legislatures, and signed into law by Governor Chris Christie on January 5, 2011 . This law, which I supported, implements a number of recommendations made by the New Jersey Commission on Bullying in Schools, which was created to examine New Jersey ’s approach to the issue of bullying. Please rest assured that I believe that any accusations of discrimination must be taken seriously, and it is possible that changes may need to be made to this law in the future, but I also believe that we must allow for time to fully implement this law before making decisions that could impact the wellbeing of our state’s children.

Once again, thank you for contacting my office to express your opinion on this matter.

Sincerely,

Signed

“The New Jerseymedia especially the Jewish media was reprehensible. They were disappointing.

“He was respectful, sincere, and spoke with conviction with Governor Christie. He provided a model of civil discourse,” “And yet, some of those who disagreed with his position – especially the Jewish Media and commentators throughout the blogosphere – responded with behavior that can only be described as misogynistic, vitriolic, and a misrepresentation of the position of this student on the issue of racial equality and changes in the existing Anti-Bullying Laws.”

DEMOCRATS PROPOSE REPUBLICANS DISPOSE

This story of allowing construction where it should not have been allowed is another proof that New Jersey is governed by Unionized Gangsters posing as Republicans and Democrats. This writer wrote to NJ Governor Christie, Senate, Assembly, Attorney General and the so called Main Stream Media for an action; when the construction of Family Dollar in Irvington was still in early stages. But no one took any action.  The Family Dollar store has been built on the PARKING LOT of Ishwar Corporation with Exit of big Delivery Trucks on a residential road facilitated by Irvington administration by forcing the Investors Bank to sell their back yard with 2/3 of its Parking Lot to Ishwar Corporation. On top of that Ishwar Corporation got Tax Abatement from the administration of Mayor Wayne Smith!

FOR THIS DEVELOPMENT THE ARCHITECT PARITOSH KUMAR IS GOT BEST NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT AWARD ON MAY 31, 2013 BY NJBIA & MAYOR SMITH WAS HONORED AS BEST MAYOR OF NEW JERSEY IN ATLANTIC CITY BY NEW JERSEY CONFERENCE OF 566 MAYORS RATHER UNION OF MAYORS! 

Under Corzine administration this writer raised objection to the construction of Dream Condos by destroying all the wild life, greenery and by Chopping off the Crown of the Hill and  flushing all the Building & Zonal Laws of Springfield Twp by a Ziggi Wilf of Wilf & Silverman and owner of Minnesota Viking Team. The sad part is Lisa Jackson who was head of NJ DEP at that time, was later appointed by President Obama’s as his EPA administrator. It looks like Mayor Smith will soon be inducted in Federal Government, because Washington needs politicians who can deliver results for the Party even if the going is tough!

Anti-residents, Anti-Environment & Anti-existing businesses Project created under Massive Corruption is Mockery of Award to the Architect: Dave Makkar

Paritosh Kumar, of P.K. Architecture, showing design renderings of theShanghvi Plaza in Irvington, NJ, which has won the 2013 Good Neighbor Award.

Architect ranked with top design firms in Garden State

The South Asian Times, April 13-19, 2013 Page 3 Edison , NJ : The New Jersey Business & Industry Association (NJBIA) will recognize P.K. Architecture at the 2013 Good Neighbor Awards for the firm’s design work on Shanghvi Plaza , a10,000 sq ft commercial facility located in Irvington ,  NJ . The award will be presented on May 31 at the Pines Manor in Edison , NJ . During the ceremony, 12 projects will be honored based on their economic benefit, architectural merit, and ability to create jobs. These projects represent a total $1 billion in new investment and 11,000 jobs. “It is a great honor to be recognized by the NJBIA for our work on Shanghvi Plaza . To be on the same list of project awards completed by the top architect firms in  New Jersey is humbling,” stated Principal Architect Paritosh Kumar, AIA , of P.K. Architecture located in Union County , NJ . This project revitalizes the community and turns an eyesore neighborhood into an aesthetically beautiful and vibrant environment which creates a better quality of life for the residents and the community as a whole. ”The project was nominated by Mayor Wayne Smith.” 

New Jersey Business & Industry Association’s Credibility :  www.njbia.org

This award to Paritosh Kumar raises questions on the credibility of NJBIA that they give awards without doing any field work. The so called Shangvi Plaza still has the previously built ugly structure. The so called aesthetically built new Family Dollar Store is an eye sore jetting on the road with no respect to environment, greenery and respect to human life with Entry to the store, dangerously close to the curve of the busy Stuyvesant Ave. Entry for the Parking is like a Rat Hole not visible at all and Exit for 18 wheelers is on the purely Residential Road Coolidge Street!

Family Dollar's Killer Entrance no concern to Human Life in Irvington

Family Dollar & old stores with no blending with new Design in Irvington

NJ Gov Christie sleeping over Corruption in Irvington Twp. despite 5 News Articles

A massive ugly looking structure jetting out on the road; Family Dollar Store has been built ON THE PARKING LOT of Ishwar Corporation (IC) in violation of Town as well as County Laws for Commercial Buildings at 1051 Stuyvesant Ave. Irvington. This structure is not at all environment friendly or consumer friendly. It has no trees or shrubs or any kind of greenery around the structure. The entry is from the curve of busy Stuyvesant Ave. that can be life threatening to a care less customer or a running child.

Family Dollar is on the Essex County Road, Stuyvesant Ave. What has been built; THE ESSEX COUNTY would have never approved this project so Irvington’s administration avoided the County and approved all kinds of illegal variances; excess construction and exit of heavy commercial traffic on Coolidge Street a purely residential lane in Irvington. Town Hall has full knowledge of it that County has rejected re-development of this property number of times in the past and even Southward Councilman John Sowell opposed this project. Still Irvington Twp. approved the Project by influencing the Bank to sell part of their parking lot to Ishwar Corporation. The Big delivery Trucks and all the Customers vehicles of Liquor Store, Chicken Store, Cell Phone Store and Mega Family Dollar Store exit on Coolidge Street a Residential Road. Majority of the times big Delivery Trucks block the Stuyvesant Ave. to deliver goods because the Entry to the Parking Lot is like a Rat Hole; un-visible as well as inconvenient. The customers also prefer to park on Stuyvesant Ave. because there is no Back Entry from the parking lot to Family Dollar, Liquor Store, Chicken store as well as Cell Phone Store. 

An insider from the Investors Bank who does not want to be named is saying the Irvington Twp’s administration forced the BANK to sell more than 50% of their Parking Lot to Ishwar Corporation owned by Dilip Sanghvi and his son Prem Sanghavi. The administration told the Bank they can not have their Drive Through approved unless they sell part of their Parking Lot to the IC. Normally when a business approach a Town Planning Board for a “Drive Through” the critical question is how many parking will be affected and if the parking are reduced too much the Town does not give permission for the same. Here Twp of Irvington knowingly reduced the number of parking from more than 50 to 18 for a Bank with a staff of almost a Dozen Employees and a permanent Police Officer on duty.  

Now some of the Bank Employees and customers besides the customers of Liquor store, chicken store, cell phone store & Family Dollar store are parking onStuyvesant Ave. This is hurting the small business owners because these Employees and customers are taking the spaces left for the Customers of these small mom and pop businesses. On one side of the Road Police writes Traffic Tickets during peak business hours 4-6:00 PM being No Parking hours as per town ordinance.  

Irvington Administration has bulldozed the will of the Residents of the Coolidge Street who had opposed Family Dollar project and made their lives unsafe by bringing heavy Commercial Traffic to their homes.  On top of that 14 parking have been restricted on Coolidge Street between 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM to provide Exit to 18 wheelers from Family Dollar store via Coolidge Street to Stuyvesant Ave. Five (5) parking on Coolidge Street facing the Exit of Ishwar Corporation has been eliminated to facilitate exit of big delivery trucks. 

CORRUPTION ALL THE WAY: When Irvington has a written Policy for Building Laws and Zonal Plan why the Planning Board, Zoning Board and the Administration has deviated from those policies? Why can’t people build according to those by laws? When a Builder approaches for exemptions and variances in 99% of the cases it involves influence paddling and bribery. The people affected are the common residents. Above all this project (Family Dollar) should have gone to Essex County for all approvals; where the Plans of Ishwar Corporation to build has been rejected multiple times in last 1 decade. On top of that Ishwar Corporation has received Property Tax abatement that is unfair to other businesses that are paying full taxes.  If the Twp of Irvington was looking for development why they never proposed Dollar Store on the vacant lot facing 1051 Stuyvesant Ave. with a free standing building with its own Parking Lot? 

REMEDY TO THE PROBLEM: Investors Bank and Family Dollars as well as other Tenants of Ishwar Corporation at 1051 should have the common entrance from the Stuyvesant Ave. that is current Entry to the Bank. The Bank can use its existing Exit for its customer Exit only and all the Tenants of Ishwar Corporation must use the present Rat Hole Entry as Exit on Stuyvesant Ave. The Dollar Store should not be allowed to have customer entry from Stuyvesant Ave. to protect the lives of customers. It should be from the Parking Lot only and present front can be used as Emergency Exit. All of this will save the Residents of Coolidge Street from heavy commercial Traffic and release 14 parking on Coolidge Street right now blocked by Town Ordinance of No Parking between 10:00 AM to 3.00 PM. The Town can also lift the 4-6 PM No Parking ordinance for one side of the Stuyvesant Ave. That will give some relief to Mom and Pop stores raising hopes of their survival in these tough economic times.
