Police receive reprimand

by Billie Jo Whitehead
News editor

ENFIELD - Town commission-
ers voted to reprimand its police
department andcreate a grievance
committee for that department
during an executive session Mon-
day night.

The commissioner took that ac-
tion following a review of informa-
tion collected during two previous
closed sessions with the police de-
partment and Police Chief Mike
Gaither.

Part of the review included an
audit of the special drug fund ac-
count following a special meeting
held on Aug. 29.

At that meeting, a motion was
made by Commissioner Whitaker

STATE CONVENTION. . . N.C. General Baptist State

and seconded by Commissioner
Barnhill that the town Ts auditors
audit the special drug fund in the
police department for the last two
fiscal years. The motion passed by
a voice vote.

Town attorney Bill Dickens re-
ported that he had taken the pre-
liminary audit information from
town auditors, Turlington Flowers
Co. and information from Gaither
concerning the special account in
the Enfield Police Department, and
delivered it to the proper authori-
ties.

During the meeting Monday
night, a motion was made by Com-
missioner Barnhill and seconded
by Commissioner Drum that town
attorney Dickens send a letter of
reprimand to Chief Gaither con-

cerning leadership and personnel
problems in his department.

According to town clerk Julian
Woody, a letter of reprimand will
also be sent to each officer and
dispatcher concerning personnel
problems and to inform them of the
action being taken by the board.

Woody said the town board will
create a grievance committee made
up of one member from each sec-
tion of the police department and
at least one board member.

He said this committee would be
in place so that an officer having a
complaint could present it to the
committee.

However, this morning Gaither
contended there is adequate docu-
mentation to show how the money
was used. oThere is no problem as
far as I am concerned, � he said.

Use of drug informant
money questioned

ENFIELD - The Enfield town
commissioners have asked Halifax

' County District Attorney Bob

Caudle to look into allegations that
the town Ts police chief failed to
follow proper procedures in dis-
bursing about $11,000 from a spe-
cial drug informant account.
Enfield Town Attorney Billy
Dickens informed the commission-

_ ers Monday night that informa-
| tion about the account has been

_». turned gver. to. Caudle.

In & Telated development, the
commissioners also voted Monday
night to issue letters of reprimand
to Chief Mike Gather and the po-
lice department's 15 employees.

Town Clerk Julius Woody said

f the Commissioners believe that

Gaither Ts lack of leadership has

' ¢ contributed to morale problems

* plaguing the department.

In the last several months a po-
lice officer and a dispatcher have
each filed federal Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Commission
lawsuits against the department.

This morning Gaither declined
to comment on the reprimand but
defended his record keeping proce-
dures, o! T . ,o. nothing to hide, � he
se T. 1a a telephone interView. oI
just kept my own bookkeeping. I
was never presented with any
(bookkeeping) guidelines. I kept
records of the money received and
the money disbursed. �

Caudle could not be reached for
comment regarding the account.

However, woody said Caudle has
been asked to determine if there
are any grounds to file criminal
charges.

oThere is no reason to suspect
(anything) but without the proper
documentation you just don Tt don Tt
know, � he said.

Enfield Mayor E. Kai Hardaway
III said he and the commissioners

are concerned about problems in

He said checks disbursed from

and that there were not adequate

SBI asked to probe police
fund D.A. wants investigation
into use of Enfield drug

Scott Schwebke
Herald Staff Writer

HALIFAX - Halifax County Dis-
trict Attorney Bob Caudle has
asked the State Bureau of Investi-
gation to look into thecreation and
operation of the Enfield Police
Department Ts druginformant fund.

The investigation has been
sparked by information provided
to Caudle by Enfield Ts attorney
Billy Dickens.

The information concerns the
possibility the police department
may have failed to follow proper
bookkeeping procedures in dis-
bursing about $11,000 from the
account in the last 18 months.

The alleged discrepancies came
to light following a routine audit of
the town account in August by a
Tarboro-based accounting firm.

Specifically, the accounting firm
maintains the police department

has not kept adequate documenta.

wa) 4

otort to show how'the money was

spent. | +

Enfield Police Chief Mike
Gaithér says that proper book-
keeping records have been main-
tained.

Caudle said this morning an ini-
tial investigation he revealed some
oconflicting information � about the
account.

However, he declined to elabo-
rate on the information and said
the SBI has been contacted be-
cause his office does not an investi-
gative staff.

Caudle said the investigation will
review the ototal circumstances of
the creation and management of
the fund. �

He noted the SBI will not ofocus
on any particular person or agency
at the outset. �

During the investigation records
will be reviews and interviews will
be conducted. He said. No dead-
line had been set for completion of
the investigation.

This morning, Enfield Mayor Kai
Hardaway said the announcement
of the investigation will likely war-
rant a meeting between Dickens
and the town commissioners.

He also pledged his cooperation
toward completion of the investi-
gation.

oThe (police) department func-
tioning at its best is my concern for
the people of this community, � he

said, o As mayor I will do every-

Black school board members
opinions blatantly ignored

pre ough the odrop ~but Fate fod

Pitt County Students has decreased
by 23 percent, the drop out rate is
still toohigh. For the 1990-91 school
year, 288 students have dropped
out of school, most being 16 years of
age. Sadly and significantly enough,
the ratio is extremely
disproportioned between Black
students and White students. In
fact, almost half of the dropouts in
Pitt County Schools were Black
males!

Resolving the problem of the
schools drop-out rate, was one ma-
jor issue proposed at the County
School Board Meeting held on No-
vember 4, The issue was addressed
by Arlene Ferren, who claimed the
statistics would have been slightly
lower if Agnes Fullilove Community
school had not been included. Ac-
cording to Ms. Ferren, backed by
Superintendent Floyd, Agnes
Fullilove High School increases the
state Ts drop out rate. Floyd is
therefore, willing to change state
ruling of including Agnes Fullilove;
and proposing that the school be
closed for a day in order to compare
this theory.

Floyd also introduced a proposal
through which he hopes students
learning of material will be enriched.
According to Floyd, oAll children
can learn, but higher standards
must be set for the education sys-
tem. � Floydbelieves that by the year

2001, Pitt County Schools will have

on attendance. According te-statis-- --4

tics,seach drop out averaged 16.5
absences each. In elementary
schools, students faced outer school
suspension as a punishment. This
punishment according to board
member Mary Williams, ois a proce-
dure using attendance to call stu-
dents to go home and play. A high
percentage of Black students receive
out of school suspension in elemen-
tary school, for disrespecting the
teacher. � Williams also feels the
system creates potential drop out
levels for secondary schools; thus
creating a problem for society. When
Williams presented this theory fo
Arlene Ferren, it was overlooked
and a motion to compare and con-
trast elementary and secondary
schools was denied by the School
Board.

Other important topics discussed
were religious holidays and death
observances. While the board ap-
proved 3 excused absences for Na-
tional Religious Holidays, it denied
observance for death observances
in the immediate family.

Coincidentally, the death obser-
vance was proposed by one of the
boards three black member,
Donovan Phillips. According to
Phillips, o a child undergoing the
trauma of death should not be trau-
matized further, by being kicked
out of school. � In general, while an
excused absence is excused
punishment, it is still couuaeae

Some statements from it:

Similar backgrounds, similar
views and morals. Compatibil-
ity. Be not fooled by superficial
measures, such as appearance,
wealth and station. Is he or she
kind, caring, concerned and un-
selfish? Look for a confident,
classy, independent person. Your
heart must say yes; you can Tt get
her out of your mind. The right
mate should have the same am-
bitions as you.

Share similar ambitions on
marriage, families and careers.
Take time to know your poten-
tial mate. Do some research. How
do they get along with their par-
ents? Who are their best friends
and what kind of people did they
date before they met you? How

Can you really talk to your

_ what you have to say? Ifyou and

| your lover can Tt communicate

well before you get married,

| chances are you won't do any

better after tying the knot.
Laughter is one of the keys to

| happiness and a long relation-

ship. Laughter and relaxation
are very important. Isyourchoice
of mate an intellectual equal? If
not, you're headed for a whole lot
of trouble.

Spiritual compatibility is im-
portant. Don Tt look for popular-
ity. Look for upright qualities:
honesty, intelligence, the love of
culture and virtues, good mor-
als. If you are happy with your
sweetheart most of the time, then
you might have found a good
choice for a mater. Why would
you want to marry a person who
makes you angry most of the
time? Or who can Tt cope with
your intelligent group?

What is your Invitation Quo-

Have you spoken to anyone

to you? Do you often speak to
someone who has been absent
from the services to express your
concern for her or him?

- "" "eee eee eee eee ee

Have you invited a newcomer
to the community to your church
any time within the past four
months? The past year? Have
you encouraged or invited anyone
who does not attend any Sunday
school or church to visit your
with you? During the past month,
have you introduced yourself
before or after worship to anyone
you did not know, and extended
your personal word or greeting
and welcome?

Last Sunday, did you take the
time to greet the people who sit
around you in worship? Do you
pray for the ability to use such
opportunities as God presents
them to you? Do you pray that
the Holy Spirit will guide you in
your outreach concerns?

If you answered from seven to
five with a yes response, you are
doing far more than the average
church member. If you answered
four or less with a less, you un-
fortunately fit into the category

of African-American men who had
the wherewithal to say no to those
who would call upon you to cel-

assign to them the responsibility
for defining your own human na-
ture. You used your intelligence as
a weapon - and you didn Tt separate
thinking from feeling and action. �

oYou werenot sitting there alone

Honorable Elijah Muhammad,

oThe attacks upon you were
presented as charges of sexual
harassmentin order to conceal the
rope in a public lunching. Thanks
for exposing the hole care of those
who leaked the report and those
Democrats who used party politics
as a smokescreen to conceal their
own racism. �

Ms. Banks joined 70% of the
Black population in her editorial:
oThere were a lot of African-
Americans who opposed Thomas
from the day George Bush nomi-
nated him. But that opposition was
based on his record of conservative
views. I don Tt think even his
harshest Black critic would have
wished upon him the public hu-
miliation he suffered, just to see
him defeated - and certainly not at
the hands of a Black woman. �

May I, in part, disagree with my
friend. Black operatives of the
White liberal left and feminist
groups were slinging dirt with the
best of them.

Banks continues, oFeminists and
liberals all over the country are
calling Anita Hill a heroine. But a
heroine she is not. A pawn is more
like it. A tool, and in an extreme
sense, a traitor to her ace is more
accurate. A Black woman who is
obviously suffering from historical
amnesia best describes her condi-
tion; a condition which made it
easy for her to be used by bra-

Yale-trained Anita do it to Yale-

to see,

oThe tragedy of Professor Hill Ts
decision to share her freakish ac-
cusations with the nation is that
she played into the pervasive ste-
reotype of Black male sexuality.
And whether she realized it or not,
Black women as well. �

One man in a letter to an ex-
tremely left New York Black paper
wanted to know where the Black
leaders hid after they threw Tho-
mas to the lynching tree of White
Democrats and feminists.

oClarence Thomas was lynched
publicly and with Blacks fashion-
ing the noose. Only because he
expresses a view point popularly
held! � he explained.

Theodore Kirkland wrote in The

Challenger: oWhile the United

States Senate Ts Judiciary Com-

mittee, composed of all White
males, lynched Judge Thomas,
president Bush Ts choice for the
Supreme Courton national prime-
time television, the NAACP, the
Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse
Jackson and other Black national
leaders stood by trying to convince
the Black masses that what they
were witnessing was not a racist
lynching but politics. �

Now that the polls are out and
it Ts safe, Jesse Jackson dnd his
link know what's safe to say.

But when we needed integrity,
we had to turn to those who stand
for something. Wilcox and Banks
were there. I Tm glad I was there
with my friends.

By Victoria Anum

Wife of the state military Gover-

joyed Christians to dedicate their
lives to God.

Mrs. Makka gave the charge
during a courtesy call on her by
guest ministers Rev. Ruth
Peterson, Pastor of Anointed Ones
Church, Greenville,and Rev.
Catherine St. Clair, co-pastor of
Love, Faith and Victory Mission,
Washington.

The ministers were guests of
New Anointing Chapel, Makurdi.

Mrs. Makka said she was not
bias about the church denomina-

that preaches Christ in spirit and
in truth.

She expresses satisfaction over
the lives of women who have gone
into the ministry of preaching to
save souls, adding that having

What an amazing and enjoying
time to share God Ts message of
love, peace and confidence; while
uniting women in Christian lead-
ership. The convention touched on
everything needed to be a well-

in reaching people, she told them
to extend their work in rural areas
and uproot idolatry in the area.

USDA penalizes 12 North Carolina

NOVEMBER 6, 1991 - THE"M"VOICE "7

erocers

who participated in the food stamp program

Southeast, FNS offices are located
in the capital city ofeach state and
are listed in the government pages
of the telephone book.

During the third quarter of 1991,
from July through September, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
penalized 12 North Carolina gro-
cers who participated in the food
stamp program. In the eight
Southeastern states, 114 grocers
were penalized for violating food
stamp program rules.

During the prior quarter, 160
Southeastern stores were penal-
ized. Eleven of those were in North
Carolina. Last year USDA Ts Food
and Nutrition Service took ad-
ministrative action against 452
grocers in the Southeast.

Third quarter statistics show
that in North Carolina, six stores
were disqualified for periods up to
three years. Five stores were per-
manently disqualified for traffick-
ing, and the remaining one store
was assessed a fine in lieu of dis-
qualification.

Investigations revealed that
some grocers allowed the purchase
of non-food items with food stamps
and some exchanged food stamps
for cash. Food stamps can be used
legally only to buy food, garden

seed and plants used to grow food,
said Gerald D. Holt, officer-in-
charge of the USDA FNS Raleigh
field office.

Approximately 7600 retail firms
in North Carolina are authorized
to participate in the food stamp
program, which annually accounts
for nearly $310 million in food
assistance to low-income families
and related administrative costs.

A disqualified store may not
accept food stamps during the
disqualification period. To resume
participation in the program the
grocer must apply to USDA for
reinstatement. In addition to
meeting authorization require-
ments, the grocer is required to
present a collateral bond or irre-
vocable letter of credit of at least
$1,000 to the Raleigh field office. If
the store is sold, a new owner may
apply to accept food stamps.

USDA encourages the public to
report violations of the food stamp
program by calling 1-800-424-
9121, the toll-free number for
USDA Ts Inspector General in
Washington, D.C. The number is

Why Pay A Higher Annual Percentage Rate?

With an Annual

about reducing your credit ex-
penses, take a close look at the

finance charges you are currently

paying and consider transferring the balances. If for example you decide to
transfer a $1,500 balance from an account charging 19.8% , you'll save $134
annually in finance charges.

To receive an application, simply talk with a Personal Banker at any
Wachovia Branch. Then, find out how easy it is to reduce your cost of credit

and start enjoying the money you save.
