"Greenville Man Creates Drugo"

By Lynnette Riddick

Editor

A fun and exciting board game
called, Drugo is helping to equip
our area youth with knowledge
that can shape how they deal with
the society in which they live.
Drugo is the name of an innova-
tive board game that is quickly
gaining popularity in the Pitt
county area. It is unique in that is
informative as well as fun.

Drugo, created by health educa-
tor Wade Johnson, Jr. is played
much like Bingo. It helps players
to learn the facts about drugs and
their harmful effects.

Wade Johnson, Jr., alcohol and
drug coordinator for Pitt County
Schools, developed this game after
acquiring the position as drug edu-

cation consultant in 1979. Thecre-
ation of this game was done to
provide a fun and effective means
for his students from grades 6-8 to
learn about drugs.

Johnson later formed, W.
Johnson Enterprises, Inc., the
manufacturer of Drugo. The com-
pany consists of Johnson and his
wife who work out of the home. As
of yet, 4,000 games have already
been sold. Johnson Ts goal, how-
ever, is extends far beyond that.
He hopes to sell as much as 100,000
games.

oAlways create something to
make difference in others lives and
market it. My goal is to be an
example " you can use your own
mink to benefit others. The benefit
is not in making money but to

make a difference. There Ts a mis-
sion greater than money. ?

Many times parents have a hard
time identifying with or even un-
derstanding their children.
Johnson discovered that Drugocan
cut down the barriers between
parents and children. This in turn
helps the children to open up to
their parents.

Johnson added that after play-
ing Drugo once, participants gain
a 20% - 30% increase in knowledge
base. As an additional benefit to
his students, Johnson awards with
comicbooks, pens, buttons, bumper
stickers, posters, etc. oLearning
should be fun, ? said Johnson.

Johnson said we are to encour-
age our youth to work for them-
selves, they have capability to de-

velop and market a product. And
they must doit through education.
This is the number 1 ticket for us.
And, Whatever you do you must
put God first.

Johnson asks all businesses pur-
chase several Drugo games and
donate them to area families.

to accomplish as much as Wade
Johnson Jr., requires lots of deter-
mination, persistence, patience
and just plain hard work. For those
of you who have a vision or a goal
to reach that would positively ef-
fect your world I encourage you to
oNever go back...
even ifit Ts gradual, ? said Johnson.
Those who run in a race can Tt look
back or else they will get offcourse.
So, keep your eyes on the finish
line!

1993 in review: A year in Black and White

By Vinette K. Pryce
Special to the AM News

This time last year the nation
looked to Washington where a re-
gime headed by a Democrat read-
ied in transition for a more opti-
mistic tenure.

New Yorkers who helped elect
President Bill Clinton focused on
the inauguration rather than the
Somali war which is still claiming
victims.

With a new mayor entering
Gracie Mansion, Black New York-
ers are not quite as happy or opti-
misticabout the Republican prom-
ising to carry a big stick some
believe aimed directly at the Black
community.

But while 1994 rapidly advances,
1993 looms large as the year which
began when Christopher Wilson,
a Brooklyn-based Jamican immi-
grant, was kidnapped from his car,
taken to a remote area in Tampa,
Fla., and doused with gasoline and
fire, The story made national news.
For that same Brooklyn commu-
nity, Nick Perry was installed as a
member of the New York State
Assembly.

By March, Rev. Alfred Sharpton
was jailed. Along with Charles
Barron, the pair was hauled off to
Rikers Island but had to be moved
to Brooklyn where authorities
claimed it would be ideal for less
~ interaction with other inmates. For
- days, protesters honked car horns
- demanding release of the activist.

Prof. Leonard Jeffries took the:

hotseat in April, But it was the
- incompetence of city University
administrators, and politicians,
including former Mayor Ed Koch,
which glared brightly inside the
Manhattan courtroom New York-
ers will remember .

The Essence Awards lauded
women in April. During a paid
tribute at the Paramount Theater,
the women Ts sh a hosted a
televised program which is becom-
ing ahighlight foreach succeeding

year. ia

On May 11, Jeffries heard the
' verdict. A vie ihe estivist,
: SE ewes come

bundle.

It was June when Rev. Calvin
Butts decided to crush obscene rap
music, Like Min. Louis Farrakhan
in December, Rev. Butts wanted
to know what happened to names
like the Supremes. They've been
replaced by Bitches With Prob-
lems, Ho Ts With Attitudes and
Niggas With Attitudes.

Ike and Tina Turner exposed
themselves during this wedding
popular month. Tina Ts movie won
her new respect by asking oWhats
Love Got To Do With It? ? Ike called
a press conference tosay heslapped
his former wife and partner a few
times but nothing like she
protrayed in her movie.

The Crown Heights report beat
the August anniversary when more
Blacks were arrested for walking
through their own neighborhoods
that at any other time.

The Cirgenti report started a
declinein popularity for there city Ts
first Black mayor.

August was hotter than July for
basketball hero Michael Jordan.
The NBA conducted two probes on
the star Ts gambling practices and
was beginning to release informa-
tion which tarnished his name. A
brutal murder of his father and

continued pressure from the me- ,

dia resulted in an early retire-
ment. Jordan seems content that
he quit at the top.

September showed David N.
Dinkins was truly the Democratic
candidate of choice. This was also
the month Wilson say his racist
attackers face to face. The 32 year-
old stockbroker from Brooklyn was
well enough to relish the fact that
two of the men received life sen-
tences for there heinous crime.

History will record the month
when Yitzhak Rabin and Yassir

Arafat shook hands in front of the

world during a peace agreement
witnessed by President Bill
Clinton.Whoopi Goldberg made
Halloween of Black arts. She also
struck and uglier blow for Black
women when she helped script

rin ok monologue for her
Phe Toni

Morrison certainly did Black
women proud when she became
the first Black woman to receive
the Novel Prize of Literature.

White Catholics decided a Black
mayor should serve one term had
them move out and while reports
are that crime is down and the city
was on an upswing, Mayor David
Dinkins was told to leave by two
percent of New Yorkers. It was a
sad night at the Sheraton Hotel
but a proud one because Mayor
Dinkins took his licks with grace.
Can Tt recall that happening in a
long, long time.

At a time when Blacks and
Whites give thanks for blessing,
the world Ts biggest star who says
ojt doesn Tt matter if you're Black or
White ? found out it does.

After four months on the read
with his oDangerous ? tour, her was
forced off. Michael Jackson said
her was addicted to pain killers.
But her was also being tried and
convicted by the American media
which has been flooding newspa-
pers with accounts of liaisons he
reportedly hosted with youngsters.
While they still have not found
nay criminal facts, the stories con-
tinue.

Depression is high in December
and a prime case is brutally re-
vealed in the person of Colin
Ferguson, and immigrant from
Jamaica. Six people suffered his
wrath. And for his actions he
blames Blacks and Whites in the
society whom he believed failed
him. The Black community lost
Thurgood Marshall. Jan. 24,
Arthur Ashe, Feb. 7, Billy Eckstein
in March, Marian Anderson in
April, and many more to crime
rather than natural causes.

David Koresh, a religious zealot
who lured many people to Waco,
Texas, perished in a fire which
consumed 86 believers at the
Branch Davidian compound. Af-
ter 51 days of federal agents trying
to extricate the cult, they were
tear-gassed and later overcome by
flames.

California will not forget the
name Stacy Koon, a sergeant

fi Basia sed pest sitios, om

whose name is forever associated
with a motorist named Rodney
King. In Black and White the
names are indelible. Koon was con-
victed of violating King Ts civil
rights. Laurence Powr , another
cop who beat, cursed and deni-
grated the Black man, was also
convicted.

Mr. Wade Johnson Jr. is known for teaching our young people
about drugs. Mr. Johnson has vow invented a game oDrugo. ?
Drugo is to teach our parents and children about drugs. It is
now time to help support Mr. Johnson for what he stands for.
Fighting the war of drugs.

Local forum to focus on
fair housing laws

North Carolina law. prohibits
discrimination in most housing on
the basis of race, color, religion,
sex, national origin, handicap or
family status. A public forum is
planned in Greenville to educate
citizens about the fair housing law
and to inform them on complaint
and processing procedures.

The forum, sponsored by theN.C.
Human Relations Commission and
the Greenville Human Relations
Commission, is set for Tuesday,
January 25, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30
p.m. in the West Greenville Recre-

ation-Faethity.

The N.C. Human Relations Com-
mission is responsible for enforc-
ing the state fair housing law. By
mandate of the N.C. General As-
sembly and with oversight of the
U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, the commis-
sion has the ability to investigate,
conciliate and litigate cases and
complaints about fair housing on
behalf of the citizens of North Caro-
lina.

The 10-year-old State Fair Hous-
ing Act applies to private

hemeowners as well as to real es-
tate agents and others in the real
estate business, according to Wil-
liam J. Barber II, executive direc-
tor of the N.C. Human Relations
Commission.

The Greenville public forum is
one in a series planned through-
out the state.

PCMH campaigns to prevent
shaken babies

In response to increasing num-
bers of babies diagnosed at Pitt
County Memorial Hospital with
serious injuries resulting from
their beingshaken, PCMH Ts Child
Protection Team has launched a
campaign to remind people of the
potential harm that results from
shaking a baby.

oUntil a child is about two years
old, his brain floats in a propor-
tionately larger space of cerebral
fluid than an adult Ts brain, ? said
Jennifer Smith, pediatric social
worker at PCMH. oThis means that

| vigorous shaking of the child or
; throwing him into the air produces
| a whiplash-type to the brain. ?

Smith said shaking bangs the

| child Ts brain repeatedly against
_ their skull, leading to permanent
| brain damage or even death. Sev-
_ eral small injuries from shaking
t over time can cause the same dam-

as one violent incident.

cently began distributing bro-

Smith pointed out that people
who succumb to the urge to shake
a child are usually not the same
people involved in typical child
abuse cases. Instead, they are of-
ten frustrated parents or caretak-
ers who are trying to stop an
infant Ts incessant crying. Victims
are usually under one year of age
and often under six months old.

oThis syndrome occurs through-
out all social and educational lev-
els, ? said Smith. oRed flags for us
are young parents with stressful
jobs and no extended family
nearby, especially around the holi-
days when people are under more
stress anyway. ?

In 1993 at PCMH, six children
were categorized as non-acciden-
tal shaken baby/head trauma
cases; in 1992 there were nine.
One-third of these children died as
a result of their injuries.

oThe thing we want to stress
through this campaign is that if
the victims of Shaken Baby Syn-
drome survive, ? said Smith, othey
will bementally retarded,
deafor have speech or motor
skill impairments, hydrocephalus

or cerebral palsy.

oShaken Sydrome is one of
the most forms of child
abuse, ? Smith continued. oBut it Ts

Incredibly , the FDA will NOT
require consumer labeling of milk
and other products from rBGH-
injected cows. To avoid hormone-
tainted milk after February 3rd,
consumers must seek out milk and
dairy products that are labeled as
free of rBGH.

Recently Consumers Union, the
nation Ts most respected consumer
watchdog and publisher of Con-
sumer Reports magazine, blasted
the FDA Ts approval of rBGH, say-
ing it is unsafe for human health.
The group also found that the milk
from rBGH could have higher lev-
els of a human growth factor, IGF-
1, which is a suspected carcino-

gen.

The rBGH drug is the first bil-
lion-dollar product of food genetic
engineering, Monsanton chemical
company reduces rBGH under the
name of oPosilac ?. When injected
into cows, rBGH fores them to pro-
duce up to 20% more milk. Along
with its impacts on human health
the genetically engineered hor-
moneis also bad for the farmer the
taxpayer and the diary cow. Stud-
ies indicate that the over-produc-
tion of milk caused by rBGH will
force up to 30 percent of American
dairy farmers out of business by
1997. Moreover the use of rBGH to
create an even greater milk sur-
plus will cost the American tax-
payers additional billions of dol-
lars in price supports.

rBGH will also cause massive
animal suffering. Cows injected
with rBGH suffer from increased
udder infections (mastitis). They
also could experience high rates of
ovarian tumors, uterus disorders,
diarrhea, food disorders and birth
defects.

Consumers and dairy farmers
strongly opposerBGH. Since 1986,
surveys by university and indus-
try reachers have shown that up to
98% percent of consumers want
rBGH milk clearly labeled.

are usually under one year of age
and often under six months old.

oThis syndrome occurs through-
out all social and educational lev-

are young parents with stressful
jobs and no extended family
nearby, especially around the holi-
days when people are under more
stress anyway. ?

In 1993 at PCMH, six children

cases; in 1992 there were nine.
One-third of these children died as

If Janet Jackson Ts last New York
hit appearance was called
oRhythm Nation, ? this one should
be called oEmpowerment. ?

Iyani Vanzant has a new book
that tells women how to obtain
empowerment. I don Tt know ifthese
two dynamic young women have
met yet, but Janet has gone be-
yond words with a movement un-
derscored with color and energy
and pulsating sound and hypnotic
lighting that shout out empower-
ment.

She may be Michael Ts baby sis-
ter, but he can let olittle sis ? lead
him.

I thought Michael Ts last show at
the Garden was spectacular but
this appearance of Janet Ts was a
spectacular but this appearance of
Janet;s was a swinging superla-
tive.

Big Apple Challenge

Coming to the Big Apple when
the worms of doubt and carping
criticism were hungrily gnawing
away at two men she Ts been asso-
ciated with: Brother Michael and
Tupac Shakur, her co-star in oPo-
eticJustice, ? was quite a challenge.
She didn Tt flinch picking up the
gauntlet.

Janet dealt with Micheal Ts prob-
lem by asking the audience to say
a silent prayer for her brother. It
was a dramatic, moving moment.
(Ironically it was after a sequence,
I thin, when she performed one of
her recording hits, oNasty Boys. ?

Tupac may be accused by a
woman of abuse, but Janet subtly
and swiftly turned the tables.

Remember the classic French

Anticipate
the
Backlash

During the last few days the
U.S. has been shocked by a num-
ber of violent murders. Occurring
sometimes in the most unlikely
seeming places-Idaho, Nebraska
they have involved a number of
otherwise oordinary ? Americans in
what has long been considered,
strictly an inner-city problem.

Wecan and shouldexpect aback-
lash from the heart of omiddle
America ? over these shocking inci-
dents.

While most of the gun-related
tragedies in the last few days have
taken among Whites, THE PER-
CEPTION STILL REMAINS
THAT BLACKS IN AMERICA
ARE THE SOURCE OF ALL
CRIME, VIOLENT AND SOCIAL
PROBLEMS...even at oChuck E.
Cheese ? Pizza Parlor, or a subur-
ban Wal-Mart store.

Whites have always been armed,
but now are becoming increasingly
angry at what they perceived to be
a otoo-liberal ? court system that
seems to coddle violent criminals
and let them out on the streets too
soon to ocommit more crimes. ?

Never mind the one brave and
courageous New York judge coun-
try who ACTUALLY RESIGNED
FROM THE BENCH, rather than
accept petty drug cases, because
the MANDATORY SENTENC-
ING GUIDELINES now effect in
Federal drug cases would have re-
quired him to impose stiff,
draconian sentences on petty drug
criminals " the wrong people in
his opinion. Never mind him be-
cause most White Americans are
now calling for a crack-down on
criminals.

I'm afraid that if the perception
of lax law enforcement continues
in the mind of the American body-
politic, White vigilantes will orga-
nize and attempt to take matters
into their own hands. In fact, I am
convinced they are now poised and
waiting for an incident "a case
which would provoke national sym-

thy for retaliation against young
Black men "before they launch
their next all-out attack.

Let Ts be clear, White suprema-
cist and race haters have already
struck the first blow against Blacks
in this society-they brought us here
as slaves, and kept us in this con-
dition for 310 long years. Had they
meant to treat the slaves "who
made this nation rich, with their
free labor "as equals, as citizens,

He ih rye pas New York,
ve fied a civil rights complaint
in the Federal District court charg-
ing Gov. Mario Cuomo and State
Parole Board officials with racial
discrimination in their practices
of granting clemency and parole.

The class action lawsuit alleges
that White prisoners are system-
atically treated more favorably
when they apply for clemency and
parole than are Blacks and Latinos
who apply.

The plaintiffs further allege that
the defendants systematically
mete out harsher treatment to
prisoners whose convictions in-
volve police officers named as vic-
tims, and also to those prisoners
whose convictions entail opoliti-
cal ? implications.

The problem with these prac-
tices, the complaint, is that
this oSpecial ? category is illegal,
as itis not supported by legislative
mandate or statute.

This lawsuit is the spin-off of
recent reports and other lawsuits
that have documented racism in
the New York State criminal jus-
tice system.

After the studies were in, the
N.Y.S. Coalition for Criminal Jus-
tice concluded, oCriminal justice
in the New York State is the story
of two nations: one White, theother
Black. One resembles the Euro-
pean justice system which incar-
cerates at relatively low rates, the
other exceeding South Africa in its
rate of Black imprisonment. ?

The complaint brings this issue
to the forefront with respect to the
release policy. For instance, in a
recent case decided by the State

Appellate Division, oKing vs. Pa-
role Board, ? the court unanimously
ruled that the Parole Board had
twice unreasonably denied parole
to a Black prisoner who had made
outstanding achievements during
his 23 years of confinement.

The court declared that oit is
difficult to imagine a case that
cries out for parole lauder than
this one/ ? The Appellate panel ac-
knowledged that denials of this
sort were acommon practice of the
Parole Board.

The prisoners not, interestingly,
that the most zealous proponents
of the harsh policy directed at mi-
norities are the same Parole Board
members who were recently ex-
posed for attempting to released

one of the White Howard Beach
defendants two years before he
had even served his minimum term
imposed by the court; thus making
him ineligible for consideration.

Then, when this shenanigan was
revealed, the Parole Board hur-
riedly claimed that it was all a
mistake and rescinded the parole.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit note
that Z Tmistakes T like this are not
likely to happen unless the pris-
oner is White.

The prisoners T basic contentions
that it is one thing for politicians
and the public to demand a strict

criminal justice system to enforce
the laws and wage war on crime; it
is totally another thing to tolerate
an apartheid system of justice
where Black and Latinolawbreak-

10-THE oM"-VOICE-WEEK ENDING JANUARY 14, 1994

Should we legalize drugs?

The reaction to Surgeon Gen-
eral Joycelyn Elders T suggestion
to study the legalization of illicit
drugs was quick, pointed and
mostly negative. The White House
repudiated Elders T suggestion, and
a few Republicans urged Presi-
dent Clinton to either discipline or
dismiss her. There was, however,
applause form Baltimore Mayor

Kurt Schmoke, and Eric Sterling,
President of the Washington, D.C.
based Criminal Justice Policy
Foundation.

Schmoke, who first urged de-
criminalization of illegal drugs
in 1988, said that the nation Ts cur-
rent anti-drug efforts will not pre-
vail ounless we take the profit out
of the distribution ? of illicit drugs.

Eric Sterling said that oour drug
strategy goal should be to take the
management of the business away
from mobsters, and turn it over to
consumers and law-abiding busi-
ness people subject to appropriate
regulations. ? Sterling believes that
placing illegal drugs under the law
via government regulations and
taxation would oeliminate most of

" " " ~~

the violence that is in the com-
merce.: He noted that illegal drug
market conflicts are settled vio-
lently because disputes over such
matters a product quality andsales
territory cannot " because they
are illegal "be resolved in court,
as is the case with other goods
which are licensed and regulated
by the government. According to

Schmoke, within the past six years
homicides in Baltimore have in-
creased by over 30 percent with
omore than 45 percent of those
homicides related to drugs. ?
Sterling stressed that studying
the possibility of een drugs
is a omatter of shining the light of
reality on our current policy, ? not
an effort to increase the number of
drug users. He said the message

must continue to be sent from the
public health community othat
drug use is harmful. ? Sterling

urges a public health approach
toward all drugs and drug users
and asserts that honest compre-
hensive prevention programs
work. oCigarettes are as addictive
as heroin or cocaine,: he said. oYet
twenty-five million cigarettes ad-
dicts have quitin the last 25 years.
This public health campaign suc-
ceeded withoutjailingor urine test-
ing cigarette smokers, and despite
billions of dollars of tobacco pro-
motion annually. ?
