Report shows
North Carolinians Against
Racist and Religious Violence to-
day issued its 1988 report on hate
group activity and bigoted
violence in North Carolina.
~For 1988, the number of
reported deaths and injuries tied
to bigoted violence rose
significantly and many of these
incidents involved young peo-
ple,T explained Rob Sikorski,
NCARRVTs executive director.
~While some of our figures may
be higher due to better reporting,
the accelerating violence seems
also a product of a changing
social and political environment
over the past decade that is more
tolerant of bigoted acts.
The report cited 53 violent/il-
legal incidents motivated by
bigotry or involving known
members of hate groups. The
state also had 55 legally organiz-
ed events"mostly marches"by
white supremacist groups.
The 53 incidents were:
5 deaths
11 assaults
4 cross burnings
20 threats/harassment
2 weapons charges
8 vandalism
3 other |
The violence includes a murder
in Halifax county (4/21), in which
Aaron Parker, a black man, was

and nursing administration on
various committees.
Originally from Spring Hope,
N.C., Fisher received a bachelor
of science in nursing from the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill in 1975. She worked
for three years as a staff nurse
and head nurse in the surgical
and medical units at the
VeteransT Administration
Medical Center in Durham.
Fisher returned to UNC and
earned a master of science
degree in nursing- in 1980 with
minors in health administration
and education. She then worked
as a family nurse practitioner at
Central Family Practice, a
medical practice affiliated with
Durham CountyT General
Hospital. She was later named
staff development coordinator at
the hospital and organized orien-
tation and educational programs
for nursing staff.
Most recently, Fisher was
director of nursing and quality
assurance coordinator at Lincoln
Community Health Center
(LCHC), an ambulatory care
facility in Durham. Under her
direction, LCHC was the first
federally funded ambulatory
care facility in North Carolina to
receive accreditation by the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of
Health Care Organizations.
Fisher is a member of the
North Carolina Nurses Associa-
tion, National Black Nurses
Association, American Public
Health Association and the On-
cology Nursing Society. She has

tormented with a six-foot boa
constrictor, then beaten and
stabbed to death by three whites,
two of whom were seen two days
later at a Christian Knights rally.
At Lexington Senior High a
black youth was stabbed to death
during a fight between black and
white youth near the school.
In Winston-Salem, four black
boys, ages 11 to 13, were chased
on theirT way to school by three
men wearing white sheets and
hoods and shouting racial slurs.
One of the men held what ap-
peared to have been a gun. Two
of the boys sustained minor in-
juries in the chase.
During September, vandals
broke a stain-glass window at the
synagogue in Rocky Mount,
followed by disruptions during a
service.
And in December, a white man :
driving on I-40 rammed a car car-
rying four black high school
students, forcing the car to spin
out of control and flip over. One
of the passengers died, while a se-
cond had his leg amputated as a
result of the accident.

organized events by the Southern
National Front, a neo-nazi group
that held only 1 march in 1988,
then disbanded. Other hate
groups active in North Carolina
in 1988 included the Populist Par-
ty,, the Confederate National
Congress, the Southern White
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and
the Church of the Creator.
To determine if an incident
should be counted, NCARRV
defines a hate crime as ~any act
to cause physical injury, emo-
tional suffering, or property
damage, which appears to be
motivated, all or in part, by race,
ethnicity, religion, or sexual
orientation.�T This definition is
employed by the state of Califor-
niaTs Racial, Ethnic, and
Religious Task Force.
NCARRV uses these figures as
a barometer and not as a precise
statement of the number of
bigoted incidents. As the U.S.
Department of Justice has noted,
~a deficiency with all data collec-
tion efforts (for hate crimes) is
NCARRV
reflects this in its report, noting
no recorded incidents of violence
against lesbians. All 6 anti-gay in-
cidents involved gay men.
Figures for the past four years
show a steadily upward trend:

WeTve Come A Long Way
By: James Vines
It was a hot September after-
noon, and as I sat on the front
steps waiting for the evening
newspaper, watching the evening
sunset, I could hear the singing of
some mockingbirds in a large
magnolia tree that stood not so
far from our front yard. I could
also hear the sound of some
locusts and crickets that kept the
evening from being dull and bor-
ing. I could also hear the sound of
the freight train blowing as it ap-
proached the crossing as it
entered the southwest section of
the city limits.
The noise of the train kept me
from hearing my mother calling
for me to come in and wash up
and get ready for the last meal of
the day. As I got up to go into the
house I heard the paper boy com-
ing down a very dusty unpaved
street. I turned to go into the
house when the newspaper fell
behind me that the newsboy had
thrown as he went by. I reached
down to pick up the paper that
was almost covered with
headlines.
I unfolded the paper to get a
better look to see in very large
print that read ~Germans and
Poles War Begins.� This was
September, 1939 and just about
all you could hear was the ques-
tion, ~Is the U.S. going to war?�
Everyone was talking about go-
ing to war. One day a friend and
I decided to go looking for work.
We had gone about 5 or 6 blocks
when we heard a voice behind us
yelling, ~Hey boy, come here!�T
So we stopped to see what she
wanted, knowing that we were
doing something very dangerous
by standing in the street talking
to two women and what made it
dangerous was that they were
white. One of them yelled out the
window of the car to ask us how
they could get to the downtown
section of the city. As I directed
her in the direction downtown, I
didnTt notice that two men had
driven up behind me. I turned to
look and see who it was when I
felt a fist besides my head. The

Though Black schools were poor-

heated the classroom, outdoor
toilets were privies, overcrowd-
ed classes, the library allotment
$100 per year, no secretaries or
aides, one janitor and one maid
per school, union schools, in-
cluding grades 1-12, and over-
crowded buses with extremely
long routes, yet there was pride
among students, teachers and
parents and the students who
went to college, achieved.
Teachers appreciably cared
about their students.

Report shows that hate incidents are up
Orange had 5 incidents within
the county and 2 others involving
county people arrested in other
counties, and 5 marches in 1988.
The figures included university
campus bigotry, threats to white
activists, and Klan-related
incidents. :
In Forsyth county, white
supremacists staged only | public

Party in November. Bigoted ac-
tivity included 3 incidents in an
integrated neighborhood, | in the
schools, a continiing campaign
of bigotry by a_ white
supremacist, and a Klan-style
assault on 4 black youth.
Robeson County faced bigoted
in 1988, with the figure set at 5.
These deaths resulted from anti-
gay violence, racial tension bet-
ween youth, alleged law enforce-
ment negligence, and seemingly
unprovoked racist attacks. From
previous yearsT reports, 4 more
killings involving racist motives
also came to public attention.
Racial tension and bigoted ac-
tivity were at a striking high in

public schools. Public high
schools had 7 violent incidents,
with 7 more involving univer-
sities and community colleges.
Nine other schools faced in-
cidents involving the wearing or
displaying of the Confederate
flag. Also many assailants in in-
cidents outside of schools were in
their late teens and early twen-
ties. In addition, reports in-
dicated the formation of violence-
prone Nazi skinhead groups in
Charlotte and Elizabeth City.
Violent and illegal activity
either connected with the Chris-
tian Knights or in the wake of one
of their marches also rose in 1988.
On at least 4 occasions,
Klansmen were arrested during
marches on weapons or disorder-
ly conduct charges. A split bet-
ween the national leader Virgil
Griffin and state leader, Terry
Boyce early in 1989 indicated to
state law enforcement that

City fire prevention targets low-income housing |
Residential fires take a devastat-
ing toll nationwide in lives and
property loss each year, but low-
income families are especially sus-
ceptible to such dangers, says Cap-
tain Mike Branch, fire prevention
coordinator for the Greenville Fire-
Rescue Department.
Concerned about the danger,
Greenville officials are targeting
black and low-income _ neighbor-
hoods with their most effective fire-
fighting technique yet -- they plan to
stop a fire before it can start.
"There are a lot of people who
don't have a lot of money and this is
where we have most of our serious
house fires, in low-income homes,"
Branch says.
"We've developed a three-point
program to address this special need
immediately. This involves commu-
nity education, home inspections,
and the installation and maintenance
of smoke detectors in low-income
housing. The goal is to eliminate as
many factors as possible which
could lead to a fire and loss of life."
Branch cites three primary
causes of house fires in the city's
black community and low-income
neighborhoods: cooking, faulty
electrical wiring, and portable space
heaters, including wood stoves.
"We have a lot of cooking fires,"
says Branch. "In fact, overall, we
have more kitchen fires than any-
thing else, and a lot of cases where
grease has been left on the stove."
The fire prevention officer
points to six, time-proven responses
to stop potential kitchen fires dead
in their tracks.
¢ Pay attention to your cooking
and don't overheat grease. Grease
overflows and can start a fire in sec-
onds. If you must leave the stove to
answer the phone or the doorbell,
turn down the heat. If you think you
may be gone for more than a few
minutes, turn the stove off.
+ Make children aware of cook-
ing hazards when they help you in
the kitchen and always tum skillet
and pot handles toward the center of
the stove to prevent accidental over-
turning.
*Keep towels and napkins away
from the stove and don't wear frilly
clothing -- especially those with
loose, floppy sleeves -- while cook-
ing.
« Always keep the pot lid close at
hand to smother a small grease fire.
¢ Don't try to move or Carry a pan
which contains a grease fire. Moving
the pan may seem tempting when
you discover a fire, but it often leads
to burns for the carrier and additional
fire damage.
« You may be able to stop a small
grease fire with a handful of baking
soda -- but don't use baking powder,

which contains flour or starch and
could spread the flames. Never use
water on a grease fire be-cause it
doesn't work and can make a fire less
manageable.
If the situation should get out of
hand a big fire develops, Captain
Branch advises not to try to fight it.
Leave the house and phone the 911
emergency number for help.
Because many low-income
blacks live in older housing, they are
more likely to suffer from fires
caused by faulty or worn-out elec-
trical wiring. People also create their
own electrical dangers by improp-
erly replacing blown fuses. Too of-
ten, says Branch, people drop a
penny in the fuse box with-out real-
izing the potential danger created by
overheated wiring. Blown fuses
should always be replaced with the
proper parts.
Another wiring danger, he says,
can be caused by hiding electrical
extension cords under rugs or be-
hind curtains. These cords some-
times fray and set cloth articles
aflame.
Low-income residents also run a
risk when they plug too many ap-
pliances into a single outlet. This all-
too-common practice can also over-
heat indoor wiring and lead to fire.
"The Fire/Rescue Department is
more than willing to go out to
someone's house and make a free fire
safety inspection whenever we're
asked," Branch says. "We'll inspect
the property and provide them witha
checklist of possible hazards. Whata
lot of people don't understand,
though, is that once we do that, we're
not responsible for re-porting it to
anyone else. If some-one has a prob-
lem his landlord out to fix, it's up to
the tenant to report it."
Tenants can report building code
violations, including faulty wiring,
to the city Development
Department's Inspection Division at
830-4467.
The department is also actively
promoting its Code Red Smoke
Detection Program, which is funded
totally by donations from the local
business community. Begun almost
two years ago, the program provides
eligible Greenville residents with
free installation and yearly mainte-
nance of smoke detectors.
Installing a smoke detector is the
single mosteffective step that can be
taken to prevent residential fires,
according to Greenville Fire/Rescue
Chief Jenness Allen.
"A smoke detector is one of the
best tools we have to save someone's
life," Allen says. "According to the
latest survey I've seen, from back in
1979, smoke detectors had reduced
loss of life by 50 percent. I'm sure it's
a lot more than that now because
there are a lot more detectors in use."
Greenville residents are eligible
for the program if their total family
income is $360 per month or less, or
if they receive food stamps or gold
Social Security checks. Once smoke
detectors are installed, Fire/-Rescue
workers will come back once a year
to change their batteries.
"At least once a year we know
we've checked it and the battery is
good,� Allen says. "We've found a
lot of elderly people are especially
glad to have it in their homes."
"One reason smoke detectors are
so valuable is that loss of life in
homes is most likely between 12
o'clock at night and six o'clock in
the morning,� Branch adds, "when
people are asleep.�
The heaviest season for fires is
between December and the first of
March, usually the coldest months of
the year. "We're seeing a real in-
crease in chimney fires and in fire
places,� the fire prevention officer
notes, oespecially from improperly
installed fireplaces."
Electric, kerosene, gas and woo-
dburning heaters pose numer-ous
threats residents should be a-ware
of. If you use a an electric heater,
Branch says make sure it has a tip-
over shut-off switch anda protective
grill around the heating coils. Don't
use it in a bathroom or near a sink
where electrocution could occur
and, if you must use it with an
extension cord, make sure it is for
heavy-duty use.
Kerosene heaters pose another
set of problems. Branch says never
use the more volatile gasoline or
propane in a kerosene heater -- just
kerosene. Then, before refueling it,
turn off the heater, let it cool and take
it Outdoors.
When lighting the pilot of a gas
heater, Branch says to light the
match first, then turn on the gas -- not
the reverse.
Woodburning heaters should
never be primed with gasoline or any
other petroleum fuel, Branch says,
and owners should always let ashes
cool before throwing them out.
People using fireplaces should al-
ways use a firescreen around it and
have their chimneys regularly
cleaned of creosote, which can col-
lect in chimneys and ignite.
Most important, according to
Captain Branch, is to be prepared if
a fire should break out.
"Good planning can save lives,
there's no doubt about it,� he says.
"Every family should have a fire es-
cape plan, know alternate means of
escape, and have someone responsi-
ble to help children and elderly rela-
tives get outside. Then, there ¥
be a prearranged place where ev
one knows to meet. And ev-erfone
should understand that no one
should re-enter | the buming builting
for any reason."

_Warren has been appointed to the
House Finance Committee by
_ Speaker Joe Mavretic. The House
_Finance Committee will play a
Key role in the 1989 General
Assembly. With state tax collec-
tions increasing at a slower rate
than expected, the Finance Com-
mittee will be called upon to
make some crucial decisions in
meeting the service needs of the
people of our state.
~ ~Service on the Finance Com-
mittee will complement the work
_of the Appropriations Committee,
on which I served for the last
several years. I will continue to
work closely with the Appropria-

_and Senate).TT Warren said.
YEAH, WE KNOW WHATTS UP
. . These young brothers were seen gathered at ShawnTs Convenient
Mart #1 on Garland Street in the Kearney Park Subdivision reading THE ~MT VOICE and discussing
~current affairs, such as, sports, cars, school, jobs and of course oGIRLS.� They represent a large number
of young African-Americans that are determined to make a positive impact in their neighborhoods. oYO!
In the past, Warren worked
hard to help secure appropria-
tions for East Carolina Universi-
tyTs Classroom Building; Radia-
tion Therapy Center, Birthing
Center, Health Sciences Library,
addition to Brody Building,
magnetic resonance imaging
equipment, Sports Medicine
Building, and land acquisition
funds for the Regional Center.
Warren also helped secure fun-
ding for the Learning Resources

systems in Pitt and Greene
counties.
Warren was one of the sponsors
of the Basic Education Bill. He

I believe that one of the main
problems in American families
today is that respect for each
other is being lost. It often hap-
pens subtly, as a consequence of
seeing each other day after day
in all kinds of circumstances.
Family members see the
behavior of each other that the
public seldom, if ever, sees.
From my own experience and
| from the many hours of counsel-
_ ing, I feel I can safely say that
where there is trouble in a home,
there is little respect for each
other in that home.
Unsaved Loved Ones
ITd like to share some scripture
verses that will help you gain
respect for your mate, your
children, or your parents"for
those whom you see day after day
after day. ITve chosen to break
down part of the reference
chapter of 1 Peter 3 by verses
because each is so rich in
wisdom.
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjec-
tion to your own husbands; that if
any obey not the Word, they also
may be won by the conversation of
the wives {vs. 1). This relates to
husbands who are not saved or
who are not living the reality of
the Word. The word ~conversa-

Greek, and is clearly saying that

through all kinds of behaviors
and attitudes. Then, suddenly,
the children turn around and tell
the parents how to live! ItTs the

and now you tell them what is
Truth! To these folks, your words
are not that important. What they

LIFESTYLE. (Now as the ~door

Holy Spirit directs.) Remember,
the only revelation an unsaved
person can receive is that Jesus
is Lord.
Whose adorning let it not be that
outward adorning of plaiting the
hair, and of wearing of gold, or of
putting on of apparel; but let it be
the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not corruptible, even the
ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God
of great price (vss. 3,4). This is a
very important principle to
know"holiness is not from the
outside in, but from the inside
out. To accomplish that, one
needs a meek (teachable) and
quiet (not disturbed by cir-
cumstances) spirit. Keep in mind

HERE'S TO YOU,
AMERICA.
many of the old, pre-salvation
traits remain to see if you are liv-
ing what you are talking. An ar-
rogant, rebellious, dominating
spirit won't win them; only a
meek and quiet one will. Do you
recall my opening words concer-
ning respect for others? You're
going to have to develop a respect
for them even though they have
yet to be saved. DonTt be arrogant
that you're saved and they arenTt.
Stand in the gap for them through
intercession. God is not only a
God of individuals, but a God of
families. The Heavenly efforts to
save your family have increased
because of you, because of your
accepting Jesus. As a represen-
tative of Heaven for your family,
you are going to have to start ac-
ting like a ~Heavenly� person.
For after this manner in the old
time the holy women also, who
trusted in God, adorned
themselves, being in subjection un-
to their own husbands (vs. 5). You
are going to have to trust God
that your family will come into
the Kingdom. Begin to exercise
the ~faithT scriptures for them,
knowing that in yourself you
canTt draw them in. The Holy
Ghost does that! How do you
adorn yourself? Through humili-
ty, through ~ministeringT to the
other persons through kind and
thoughtful deeds. The Holy Spirit
knows exactly the best way to
minister to that individual (or in-
dividuals). Let Him tell you how.
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham,
calling him lord; whose daughters
ye are, as long as ye do well, and are
not afraid with any amazement (vs.
6). What in the world is this say-
ing! Simply, just as Sara
respected her husband and put
her faith in the words of
Abraham, you must put. your
faith in GodTs promises and stand
in faith for othersT salvation.
Then donTt act surprised when it
happens! Faith already ~seesTT
them in Heaven.
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell
with them according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as un-
to the weaker vessel and as being
heirs together of the grace of life;
that your prayers be not hindered
(vs. 7). The knowledge spoken of
here is ~general�T knowledge, not
revelation knowledge. Husbands,
get to know your wives, learn
what makes a woman a woman,
and treat her as ~fine crystal�T
with great value. Learn what
makes her happy and unhappy.

ment. Satan would desire to pre-

however, is that families serve

saved family members, donTt be
content.
The Vision
In September of 1981, I had an
awesome vision from God. It was
of entire cities, every city in the
world, their streets filled with
people whose hands were lifted in
praise and worship to God. The:
crowds were too large for any
building to hold them all. And,J;
knew, I just knew, that people
were grouped in families. All;
races, all colors, all creeds were
together, having put aside doc-
trines and dress codes in order to
simply worship God. And they all
had one thing in common"their,
families were saved and they;
were beckoning for Jesus to,
come,
I share this next related
thought with you with all humili-;
ty, but with Godly inspiration, I,
know that I know that I know that;
revival is not going to happen un+;
til the church has dealt with,
segregations. Nobody wants to
talk about it but I must touch on)
the subject. Turn to Joha,
17:22,23: And the glory which thou,
gavest me I have given them; that,
they may be one, even as we are,
one: I in them, and thou in me, that.
they may be made perfect in one;
and that the world may know that,
thou hast sent me, and hast loved:
them, as thou hast loved me. Until
the issue of race is resolved, the:
manifestation of God cannet
come. I know this is a sensitive,
topic, but we cannot close ovr
eyes to it. 1 John 4:20,21 perfect-;
ly sums it up as John speaks tai
Christians about Christians: If a:
man say, I love God, and hateth his,
brother, he is a liar; for he that;
loveth not his brother whom he hath)
seen, how can he love God whom he}

A Time To Reflect The Many
Contributions And Achievements
Of Black Americans
thy grace, those whose portion is
not wrath and who go not astray.
Holy Quran 1:1-7
oIn this world there are many
paths. But since our God is one
there is only one path that leads
to him. Finding the straight path
is not hard, staying on the
straight path is difficult. Why?
Allah teaches us in the Quran that
Satan is an avowed enemy to
mankind. He has sworn to re-
main an obstacle to our salvation
until we are raised up on the day
of judgement. Biblical history
shows whenever Allah gave
guidance to a people, Satan would
cause them to forget it. Father
Abraham and his people were not
so far removed from Noah and
the flood that they should have
forgotten the wrath of their Lord
upon the wrongdoers of His crea-
tion. But they did forget, except
for Father Abraham and a few of
the elect.
Today is not different from
yesterday? Father AbrahamTs
people could not bring
themselves to believe in the
supremacy of God. They refused
to believe that one God has power
over all things. So they divided
His power among several gods.
The deeper they went into their
false worship the harder it
became for them to distinguish
truth from falsehood. Satan made
their false worship fair seeming
to them and caused them to doubt
GodTs eternal love and mercy and
His power to forgive all sins. the
Quran says: O Ye who believe! If
ye fear Allah, he will grant you a
criterion (to judge between right
and wrong), remove from you (all)
evil (that may afflict) you, and
forgive you; for Allah is the Lord of
grace unbounded. Holy Quran
8:29.
~God alone knows the right way
that leads to Him. He has never
left us alone to find the path
without His guidance. Scientists
are today verifying that the
knowledge of God has always
been with us. From the beginn-
ing, God made Himself known to
us through His prophets and His
books. Those who sincerely seek
God recognize His guidance and
follow it. Those who follow
falsehood can never be guided
aright, nor can they guide to the
right. These are they who buy er-
ror for guidance, so their bargain
ings no gain, nor are they guid-
- Holy Quran 2:16
oWhen our African ancestors
heard the call to Islam they sub-
mitted. Many of our slave
fdreparents were Muslims. It was
the slavemaster who forced his
réligion upon us. Though we
gtudgingly accepted it and
modified it to suit our needs, it is
still the slavemasterTs religion. If
it'was the truth that was forced
upon us there would be no argu-
ment here. However, when you
study Christian history you find
that millions of Christians were
persecuted because they believ-
ed in one God and refused to wor-
ship God in a Trinity. They were
persecuted because they said
Jesus was only a prophet and not
the son of God nor was he God.
They were persecuted by pagans
who wanted to mix falsehood with
truth.
~The African people have a du-
ty to question the validity of any
réligion. We have been enslaved
and colonized to such an extent
that the knowledge of our origin
has been nearly destroyed. Our
foreparents walked the path of
God but Satan through extreme
trials and tribulations has caus-
ed us to forget it. We have been
made to become like the people
of Hosea"a people destroyed for
lack of knowledge.

WAS HE A GAMBLER? ... Elijah ~~(Oak Grove� Clay walks away
from a high performance race car named ~o~New Gambler�, what was
to be his last test ride for maybe 50 years. Clay allegedly gambled the
close relationship he had with wife, Dorothy and their four children
to provide a better living by selling drugs, but, last week, Superior
Court Judge David E. Reid adhered to state laws and handed a fifty
year jail sentence for his drug related activity. Several of our African-
American brothers and sisters were sentenced over the past two
weeks that wraps up an SBI investigation. Clay is only 38 years old,
but he still had his whole life ahead of him. The ~MT Voice also learn-
ed that Clay reluctantly pleaded guilty to the charges levied against
him. (This photo was submitted to The ~mT Voice Staff)

Project Pals to benefit youth " "
ble citizens.
~Youth can make changes in
their lives when they experience
an atmosphere of acceptance and
stability,TT says Sharon Lermer,
director of Project PALS
(Preparing Adolescents for Life
Skills). ~These youth are in'need
of a caring, stable influence in
their lives. All it takes is a little
time"just a few hours each week
and a lot of sharing.�T
Only 20 Pitt County youths bet-
ween the ages of 7 and 17 will be
accepted for the program. ~If we
accepted more, we wouldnTt be
able to monitor them as closely,�
Lermer said. ~WeTre going to try
and work very closely with those
20.� .
Referrals are expected to come
from the juvenile court system,
schools, agencies, parents and
concerned adults. ~Our young
people battle such pressures and
temptations that they need all the
positive direction and support
that they can get,� said Eve
Rogers, chief court counselor for
the 3rd Judicial District. ~I think
the PALS program is a splendid
opportunity for this kind of
support.
~I know this program is needed
by virtue of the nature of our
work,~ she added. ~We work with
youth who oftentimes do not have
the benefit of a strong positive
role model who they can relate to
one-on-one. This is particularly
true for young males.�

According to Williams, CBA
provided $30,031 in state funding
to establish the program. The
ECU School of Education is pro-
viding necessary services such as
supervision and office space.T
Volunteers who are interested
in being matched with an adoles-
cent will be asked to fill out a.
three-page form, provide two
references, and attend two train-
ing sessions. ~One session will
deal with such things as com-
munications skills and relation-
ship building techniques,�T
Lermer said. ~The other will pro-
vide information on the juvenile
court system, drugs and alcohol,
things to help the relationship.�
Psychology, criminal justice,
sociology and social work majors
at ECU are being encouraged to
volunteers if they are willing to
commit at least nine months to
the program. ~The only problem
is that a semester lasts three
months, and I need a longer com-
mitment than that,TT Lermer
said. ~After three months, the
kids you are working with in this
type of program are just beginn-
ing to accept that person. Then if ,
the relationship is broken, you |
are doing more damage than
good.�
In addition to 20 one-on-one
volunteers, who will be expected
to spend at least two hours a week
with the youth, Lermer is also
seeking assistance from in-
dividuals as well as area clubs
and organizations. :
~There are other ways people
can volunteer in this program,
such as providing transportatian,
_ ~sponsoring a group activity, fuhd
~~raising, or offering special sér-
vices such as tutoring or tours~of
a company or business office,�
Lermer said. ~A club can sponsor
on a one time basis what weTre
going to call PALS for a Day,
when all 20 adult volunteers ahd
kids can come together for a sup-
per, bowling, or any kind of ac-
tivity.� ats)

Luke 1:17 says: And he shall go
before him in the spirit and power
of Elias, to turn the hearts of the
fathers to the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom of the
just; to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord. Do you see
where this problem lies, spiritual-
ly? ItTs with the men! But God
Says He will send an anointing in-
to the earth to challenge men to
get their families in order. It will
mean more than just seeing that
the family gets to church on Sun-
day morning. ItTll mean a home
in such a Godly order and
lifestyle that Jesus would be
welcome at any time. The
home"the place where Chris-
tidnity becomes a tested reali-
ty...the place where respect for
each other must be lived out.
It's time to get committed,
folks; itTs time to see to it that our
families are moving in God! But
itTs a decision that only YOU can
make. I encourage you...take a
close look at your family relation-
ships, seek GodTs wisdom in heal-
ing any breaks, cast aside the
pride that has kept you from
walking in love, repent for any
hardheartedness, and cast off the
depression or anger or resent-
ment that has kept you and your
family ~bowed over.TT Get your
family to arise and stand up
straight in God. Remember, the
devil canTt ride your back if
youTre not bent over.

Greenville community is plagued 4
by swindlers ripping-off the elderly
by: C. A. Dawson
Recently in the West Greenville
area of the city, the black com-
munity has been plagued with
rip-offs on the elderly by area
junkies.
The junkies come through the
neighborhood with food and
clothing stolen from area mer-
chants and sell them for half
price or less to the residents of
the black community,
Not being able to pass up a
good deal (probably because of
the high prices of merchandise in
stores), the residents purchase
the merchandise from the
junkies.
After several trips to the area,
the junkiesT faces then are known
to most of the residents and this
is when they began to prey on the
elderly.
In one instance last week, two
of these junkies visited the home
of two elderly residents. With
their faces being known to the
residents they were allowed in-
side the home.
After entering the home, the
junkies informed the residents
that they had a vehicle parked
around the corner with $200.00
worth of steaks and hams for "
$50.00. a
Thinking they could not beat |
this deal, the elderly residents "
immediately gave them $50.00in
cash. The junkies took the |
money, left, and never returned, "
Some of you probably will say "
the elderly residents deserved
this for attempting to buy stolen
merchandise. ThatTs wrong. It is
rough on the elderly in this area
trying to make ends meet and
temptation is always there.
Why did these residents not call
the police in? They are afraid and
they think itTs wrong for them to
attempt to purchase stolen
merchandise. A HISTORICAL MOMENT... Pitt County Resident Supervisor Court
