At 100, Daisy Bynum Is Still Full of Music

Daisy Reeves Bynum sings
old hymns almost constantly.
And when the spirit moves her,
she dances.

For dancing she grasps the
steadying arm of a loved one.

She walks the same way,
though it takes an energetic
person to keep up with her.

The Cambridge Drive resi-
dent lived most of the first 92
years of her life on Clark Street.
She was reared there by her older
sisters, Mary and Ida Reeves,
and she and her husband,
Demous, reared their six chil-
dren there.

She helped her husband farm
some, worked in the Brown
House Tobacco factory season-
ally, and washed and ironed for
the H.A. White family and others.

She has been a Christian
almost all her life. Long ago she
helped found Selvia Chapel Free
Will Baptist Church. But she
later joined Philippi Church of
Christ. Parnelland now has the
distinction of being the oldest
member of its Mother Board.

Her husband died 40 years
ago. Mrs. Bynum has remained
a widow since and has lived on
into old age " extreme old age.

She is 100 years old today.

oI Tm an old woman, ? she de-
clares, looking out with bright
eyes as she fingers a neat, white
apron. She stands up with help,
extends an arm and asks if you'll
accompany her tothe dining room

for some pudding.

Her only surviving son,
Parnell, is her mainstay, her
major caregiver. To her, he is a
young man, even though he Ts long

retired from his job with East
Carolina University. She re-
minds him often that she Ts an old
woman and he Td best listen to
her.

Eight years ago, Bynum
moved his mother from her Clark
Street home to his home in
Cambridge subdivision.

He hires a woman to come in
on weekdays to bathe and oth-
erwise care for Mrs. Bynum. But
weekends he takes the duty
himself. One week a month, his
sister, Mary Small, his only liv-

time, ? he said. oMama Ts st]! able-
bodied. And as long as is, as
long as I can manage, « II be

Mrs. Bynum Ts other four
children have died durinz the
past 10 years. But there are
plenty of grandchildren " 15
and 14 great-grandchildren. And
some nieces, nephews and cous
ins. Almost all of these gathered

Alcohol and Drugs Play Major Role In Violent Deaths

From a muggy mid-August
Thursday to just before sunset on
Sunday, alcohol and other drugs
made mourners of three area
families.

In four days, a self-inflicted
rifle had killed a Winterville man;
a smoky housefire suffocated a
Snow Hill man, and a speedy car
crash fatally injured a Bell Arthur
man.

Police said the suicide victim
struggled with a drug addiction
for years. Autopsies of the other
men showed they were drunk when
they died.

In Pitt County, such deaths
are becoming more commonplace,
as a county medical examiner
noted recently, with drugs " es-
pecially alcohol having a role in
most unnatural deaths.

oMost vehicle-related deaths
and more than halfofthe homicides
and most of the large groups of
violent deaths and suicides are
also alcohol-related. ?

Fie than _ fo the homi-
cides and most o arge groups
of violent deaths and ousidon are

aC SS FATH | at Pollard
WOOW Radio Station broadcast live with specials all day. WOOW

also alcohol-related. ?

Hudson said such alcohol-re-
lated tragedies mirror injuries and
fatalities occurring across the
state.

oThe incidences of deaths re-
lated to alcohol intoxication are
certainly very high here, but I don Tt
think that Pitt County is doing
any worse or any better than the
other counties, ? Hudson said.

Through years of toxicological
studies of murder, suicide and
accident victims statewide,
Hudson said, medical examiners
have detected a common thread of
drug presence most notably alco-
hol. Coroners collected autopsy
data over a 10-year period and
published the findings in a 1989
report in the American Journal of
Preventive Medicine.

The report said that alcohol
was present in 62.8 percent of
murder victims in the state, in
48.6 percent of accident victims
and in 35.3 percent of suicide vic-
tims. It noted alcohol being de-
tected in 14.4 percent of natural
death victims.

Radio announcer, Jerry Barrett, far right, is shown posing with his

father and two brothers. Father Barrett is a great supporter of JOY

" WOOW. He loves the gospel and his children.

More than half of the murder
victims had blood alcohol levels
exceeding the legal limit of .10, the
report said. And, 39.7 percent of
accident victims and 26.6 percent
of those who committed suicide
were considered legally drunk.
Only 8.2 percent of natural death
victims were drunk.

The report also found that al-
cohol was a factor in most week-
end and nighttime deaths, espe-
cially in individuals who died
betweeen 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. While
alcohol-related deaths generally
did not vary seasonally, the report
noted that most murders and sui-
cides occurred in the summer.

In 1988, the state Department
of Human Resources published a
study of 200 house-fire deaths
which showed that 112 victims "
all ages 15 and older " were drunk
when they died. Victims of cook-
ing-related housefires were in-
toxicated more often than other
victims, the study said.

In Pitt County, most traffic
accidents " fatal or not " involve
drunken drivers, according to lst
Sgt. C.E. Pearce of the state
Highway patrol.

oA lot of the wrecks are caused
by alcohol. About 50 percent of the

_ drivers are drinking and that has

| heldtrue for several years, ? Pearce
| said.

oT Tm sure that abuse (of other
_ drugs) is on the increase, we're all
aware of that. But, so far, we have

traffic accidents related to that. ?

Pearce, whose office also cov-
ers Martin County, said the

Highway Patrol is targeting

road and reduce fatalities. ?
He said a new state law which

had been the legal limit, He said
any vehicle that weighs at least
26,001 pounds and transports
people or property is conaldared

commercial.

Highway Patrol efforts tocurb
drunken driving are paying off,
according to Pearce. He said traf-
fic fatalities have gone down in
recent years and DWI arrests have
gone up.

The Greenville Police Depart-
ment has recorded only three al-
cohol-related fatalities in the past
five years. Department records
show 76 alcohol-related injuries in
1985; 87 in 1986; 55 in 1987; 59 in
1988 and 48 in 1990. Police say the
most common alcohol-related
crime locally is damage to property,
noting that the city has averaged
100 cases a year since 1985.

Persons under the influence
of alcohol or drugs may quickly
become disoriented and find
themselves in situations that are
dangerous, even life-threatening,
said Sandra Thomas, a local ad-
dictions counselor.

oTheirresponsible use of drugs
and alcohol leads to and results in
irresponsible behavior because it
disorients the brain and results in
faulty or abberated thinking, ? said

FOR :

there is no reason for a woman or man to have a dirty car. Shown

Ms. Thomas. oIt pervades the total
being " the physical being, the
emotional-mental being and the
spiritual being. ?

She said substance abusers
cannot stop their addictions on
their own, but need the help of
family members and trained ad-
dictions specialists.

oTreatment is the answer, it
can be very successful. But fami-
lies are usually the only route to
treatment because the impaired
person is usually lost and difficult
to reach, ? Ms. Thomas said.

oEducating the family is what
gets people to treatment and it Ts
just about the only thing that will
work. ?

She said families must first
stop contributing to the problem
by doing such things as giving
money to a substance abuser when
he has none; allowing the abuser
to live at home despite knowledge
ofa problem; ignoring the person Ts
irresponsible behavior, and bail-
ing out the person when he gets
into trouble.

oThis is a family disease and
the impaired person is only the
symptom-bearer.

Firearms policy
text is issued

Kelly M. Alexander, Jr., presi-
dent of the N.C. State Conference
of Branches of the National Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP) has re-
leased the text of a Model Police
Department Policy on Use of
Deadly Force and Use of Firearms.

The policy is intended to be
shared with police chiefs across
the state to help decrease inci-
dences of police aggression against
civilians, while providing the
framework in which officers may
defend themselves.

Alexander has asked the vari-
ous branches across the state to
discuss the model policy with their
respective municipal police chiefs,
county sheriffs, city and county
managers. He is asking the
branches to be ready to report on
this activity at the organization Ts
state convention scheduled for
October 25-27 in Hickory.

SMILE yc Ta of the policy as
outlined by Alexander include:

¢ The importance of restraint
in unholstering and discharging
firearms.

¢ Authorizing shooting only

when necessary to defend life, or
to destroy injured or dangerous
animals.

* Prohibiting shooting when
innocent people may be endan-
gered; warning shots; oshots in
the air ? to call for help; and shoot-
ing at or from moving cars, unless
opponents are shooting at police.

¢ Permitting unholstering of
firearms only when necessary to
bring an unlawful situation under
control.

¢ Requiring officers to report
in writing all firearms discharges.

* Requiring all officers who
discharge firearms to attend post-
shooting psychological counseling.

¢ Establishing a board to re-
view and adjudicate all firearms
discharges.

¢ Suggesting means by which
the firearms discharge review
board may conclude their reviews.

* Requiring the police chief to
act upon the recommendation of
the review board; to make public
the results of investigation and
review and any resulting depart-
mental action.

* Requiring officers be quali-
fied by training before being per-
mitted to carry firearms.

¢ Establishing procedures to
record all firearms owned by offic-
ers; to allow identification of bul-
lets fired from officers; and for on-
duty officers to carry second
weapons. )

* Establishing guidelines for
the carrying of firearms while of-
ficers are off-duty and for off-duty
police action by officers.

He didn't cover my message at

the Republican-sponsored event
featuring the Reagan
Administration T 8 new luminar-

ies and an assortment of Blacks,
many of whom where Democrats.
Instead he implied that I was
there without prior approval of
those who opposed Reagan.

My response was that I did not
live on the Post Ts plantation, or
anyone else Ts, therefore I did not
need permission to leave D.C.

I am reminded of this event
because of the attempted
spanking of Health and Human
Services Secretary Louis
Sullivan, a black, by a White
liberal congressman, Rep.
Fortney oPete ? Stark, a white
California Democrat.

Stark called Sullivan oa dis-
grace to his race ? because he
differs with Stark on certain
health care issues.

oI don Tt live on Pete Stark Ts
plantation. It Ts too bad ultra
liberals like Pete Starks haven't
progressed to the point that they
can accept the independent
thinking of a Black man that
does not conform to their own
stereotyped views, ? Sullivan, the
former dean of Morehouse
University Ts School of Medicine,
Shot back.

We all know what. attitudes
Stark Ts comment reflected. The
Black race is too inferior to
analyze complicated issues of
situations; that Ts what White

in Congress who ee for
racist Democrats a odisgrace to
his race?

Ron Brown, the black chair-
man of the Democratic Party, is '
an apologist for a racist party.
He even apologized for Stark Ts
racist slur against Sullivan. That
makes Brown ~by Stark Ts own
definition, oa disgrace to his race. ?
But Brown was, also by Stark Ts
definition, defending the desig-
nated plantation overseer, which
makes what he did acceptable.

For Stark Ts information, and
White liberals like him,
Sullivan Ts politics are his per-
sonal business. Moreover, his
record, of service to the Black
community is exemplary.

Last week, the Southern
Christian Leadership Confer-
ence (SCLC), the organization
founded by Martin Luther King,
presented Dr. Sullivan with one
of its annual awards. SCLC also
honored Martin Luther King III.

Pro-life perspective (continued from page 3)

It all began in the fall of 1989
when a group of five unions
proposed to the ruling council of
the AFL-CIO that it take a pro-
abortion stand. Mr. Lane
Kirkland appointed a committee
of 18 people to study it and make
a recommendation. There were
only three who were pro-life on
the committee.

Mr. David Andrusko, editor of
the National Right to Life News,
designed a striking poster. It
had a large picture of Lech
Walesa, from Poland, and it
simply said that if this resolution
passes he couldn Tt belong to an
American labor union "because
Walesa is strongly against
abortion.

Early on, I obtained informa-
tion that the main argument in
union circles for passage was this.
Union membership is declining.
The percent of women in unions
is increasing. Since all women
favor abortion, therefore, if the
unions is increasing. Since all
women favor abortion, therefore,
if the unions take a pro-abortion
position, they will attract more
women. End of Argument.

I knew this was not so. More
women oppose abortion than
men. More blue collar people
oppose abortion than white col-

lar people. So we suggested a
major poll to a national neutral
pollster. Its results astonished
the union leaders. It showed
that 77 percent of members of
union households felt that the
AFL-CIO shouldn Tt take a posi-
tion on abortion. Of those who
feel it should have a position, 43
percent said it should oppose
abortion, while only 31 percent
favored it.

Better yet, polling of union me
showed asmall majority opposed
to abortion. But among union
women, opposition to abortion
ran at a better than 2-to-1 rate.
Well, don Tt you worry. Through
avariety of channels, every union
local in the United States heard

about that poll.

Cardinal John O TConnor of
New York, known to be very
sympathetic to unions, wrote a
strong statement which also re-
ally shook the union leaders up.
After reiterating his own strong
union sympathies, the Cardinal
pointed to a Supreme Court de-
cision that would allow members
of professional organizations and
unions to withhold part of their
dues in the event their union
took a position on an issue that
was offensive to the member.

Victimized by Liberals

by Walter E. Williams

The liberals, their fellow
travelers in the conservationist
and environmental movement,
and a short-sighted, immoral
Congress have messed up or
country. The Middle East crisis
is an early warning of things to
come. Let's face it; we've put men,
planes, ships, and tanks in the
Middle ~East for one reason: to
protect our access to oil. Anyone
who says we're there to make the
area safe fore democracy is
whistlin T Dixie. The dominant
feature of the Middle East is the
contempt they hold for demo-
cratic principles, human life, and
liberty.

Many people say we don Tt
have ab energy policy, but that Ts
not true. We have a policy, but it
borders on insanity. Let Ts look at
it. Point Arguello oil field, off the
California coast, has been ready
for two years and could add as
much as 4.2 million gallons per
day to our domestic oil supply. It
could be on line injust six months.
However, the California liberals,
with the help of state officials,
have shut it down.

According to conservative
estimates by the American Pe-
troleum Institute: Accelerated
leasing of the outer continental
shelf oil fields could yield 32-
million gallons/day; lease and
development of the Arctic Na-
tional Wildlife Range would yield
20-million gallons/day; onshore
Alaska leasing would yield 27-
million gallons/dayjand onshore
leasing in other states would
yield about 5-million gallons/day.
These facts lead me to the con-
clusion that, if we have to land
troops to insure access to oil,
they would be better deployed in
Washington.

Several countries generate
most of their electrical power

from, nuclear energy. In France, «..

nuclear plants generate 68 per-
cent of their electricity.
Americans invented nuclear en-
ergy, yet it accounts for only 18
percent of our electrical power.
It takes us more than 10 years to
build a nuclear power plant be-
cause of costly litigation and
regulation. InJapan and France,
the process start-to-finish is
slightly over six years. Moreover,
theirs are built at approximately
half of what it costs us. You say,
oOh, that Ts because their plants

_ are less safe. ? Nonsense, French

plants are built to U.S. specifi-

| cations under license from
_ Westinghouse,

Liberals demonstrating all
over the country have hamstrung
our nuclear powerindustry. With
media complicity, ir Bove
nuclear energy is unsafe, but they
can Tt point to asingle U.S. citizen

| who has died as a result. Doing

the bidding of the environmen-
tal crowd, Congress sabotages

our nuclear development, Asa °

result scores of people die each

ear from coal mine accidents,
black lung disease, and air pol-
aan from power generation by
coal, -

Americans may be able to
weather the high prices of oil
but the real li l-generated
disaster is in the not-too-distant
future. Several Third-World

countries, including Iraq, are
developing intercontinental .
missiles.If Iraq had those mis- "
siles now, Saddan Hussein might

very well target New York,
Washington, or Los Angeles in

of the Medicine Education for
South African Blacks, announced
that MESAB was establishing

Program in South Africa. Out of

While stark was out playing

NAACP Black Dollar Days
iS an economic awareness
demonstration, designed to
emphasize the consumer spen-
ding power of the African
American community and the
need to leverage that spending
power in the overall economy.
The NAACP is very concerned
about the weakening economic
climate for African
Americans, one third of whom
are stuck in debilitating pover-
ty, while a fledgling middle

class is stagnated and losing
ground financially.

Increased job opportunities
and business opportunities are
absolutely essential for the
survival of the black com-
munity. Only to the extent that
African American consumers
recognize our worth and value
in the overall economy and
begin to teach our dollars
some sense, will employers
and corporate America begin
to take seriously the demand
of fair share, economic parity.

By participating in. this na-
tional economic demonstra-
tion, African Americans will
be sending a very strong
message to the merchants and

providers of goods and ser-
vices, that we expect our fair
share of the jobs and business
opportunities available, and
will begin to modify our spen-
ding patterns towards those
merchants that contribute to
our communities T growth, and
away from business concerns
that do not.

Achieving economic parity
requires informed consumers
and a sensitive market place.
Aggressive economic activism
is needed at the local, state and
national levels, by individual
consumers, organizations,
churches and others. We must
spend our money wisely by do
ing business with those who do
usiness with us. "
