the changes to the Farmers Home
Administration Ts Section 515 Ru-

duced by Representative Eva
Clayton (D-N.C.).
In June, Clayton responded to a
report which was presented to the
Agriculture Appropriations Sub-
committee naming many shortfalls
in the Section 515 program.
Clayton submitted the bill, H.R.
4579, which reformed the program
and increased funding from the
proposed $30 million to $220 mil-
lion.
oThis program is essential to the
housing needs of those who can
least afford decent and safe hous-
ing, ? said Clayton. oThis program
has led to the creation of more
than 44,000 affordable housing
units for the low and very low-
income families of rural America. ?
The goal of the housing bill is to
promote fair housing and to pro-
vide consolidated homeless assis-

share the same first names, but
the two are not one in the same.
They are both working toward the
same goal: to help children and
their families, and both are not-
for-profit corporations, but the
similarities end there.
oBecause both Ronald McDonald
House and Ronald McDonald Ts
Children Ts Charities share an af-
filiation with McDonald Ts, itis easy
for the public to assume we are the
same, ? said Stephanie Barnard,
Public Relations Director for the
Ronald McDonald House in
Greenville. oWe do have several
distinct differences, however. ?
The Ronald McDonald Houses
around the world act as a lodging,
or a ohome away from home ? for
the families of seriously ill chil-
dren visiting local children Ts hos-
pitals. The House in Greenville
primarily serves eastern North
Carolina, and is called the Ronald
McDonald House of Eastern North
Carolina. All houses operate sepa-
rately from each other, but share
the same mission.
delphia Eagles football player,
Fred Hill and his wife, Fran,
learned that their daughter, Kim,
had leukemia. The Hills noticed
that other families, like them, had
to drive long distances to be with
their sick children only to have to
eat from hospital vending ma-
chines and sleep in waiting room
chairs, for lack of a better place to
stay. Fred Hill and his football
team decided to build these fami-
lies a ohome away from home ? in
Philadelphia. They teamed up with
local McDonald Ts owner/ operators
to raise money for the purchase
and restoration of a house near the
hospital where families could stay.
While McDonald Ts helps to build
Ronald McDonald Houses andcon-
tributes to their operating bud-
gets, they do not own or operate
the Houses. In fact, each Ronald
McDonald House is operated by a
volunteer Board of Directors,
which includes McDonald Ts, hos-
pital, and community representa-
tives.

He was 19 when he first
Stepped behind the counter as

later, he was promoted to Store

Today, Phil is a successful

And that's not surprising
because McDonald's believes

the four Ronald McDonald Houses
in North Carolina, which are lo-
cated in Chapel Hill, Durham,
Greenville, and Winston-Salem.
According to Mrs. Barnard, the
House in Greenville was opened
on Father Ts Day 1987. It was spon-
sored by Raleigh Region
McDonald Ts Operators Associa-
tion, Citizens of Pitt County, the
Kate B. Reynolds Health Care
Trust Fund, Branch Banking and
Trust Company, The Brody Foun-
dation, Ronald McDonald Ts
Children Ts Charities and the
Ashley Quinn Trust Fund, as well
as many individuals and compa-
nies.
oPeople often assume we are
funded 100% by McDonald Ts and
therefore do not need the support
of the community, ? said Mrs.
Barnard. oIn fact, McDonald Ts con-
tributes about 10% of our operat-
ing budget, another 10% comes
from room fees and the remaining
80% comes from the community. ?
The fours Ronald McDonald
Houses in North Carolina share
the proceeds from the Michael Jor-
dan Celebrity Golf Classic, which
is held in Greenville. Other Ronald
McDonald Houses throughout the
nation rely on community support
to start-up and operate also.
Founded in 1984, in memory of
McDonald Ts founder Ray Kroc,
Ronald McDonald Ts Children Ts
Charities is a national charitable
foundation that was established
to promote the development and
well-being of children. It has
awarded over $55 million in grants
to over 1200 charities across the
country. RMCC is connected to the
Ronald McDonald Houses, and will
continue to help with their fund-
ing, but it also focuses its atten-
and medical research, 2)education
and the arts, and 3)civic and social
services.
Ronald McDonald Children
Charities of North Carolina
(RMCC of NC) donates annually
to the North Carolina Houses T op-
erating and endowment funds.
Each Ronald McDonald House in
North Carolina must apply for
grants from RMCC of NC to ex-
plain their need for money. RMCC
of NC raises grant money by orga-
nizing state-wide fundraisers and
Owner/Operator donations as well
as in-store promotions and acrylic
ohouses ? for collecting customer
donations in McDonald Ts restau-
rants. So while Ronald McDonald
Children Ts Charities gives money
to the Ronald McDonald Houses,
it does not own or operate them.
Ronald McDonald Houses and
Ronald McDonald Children Ts
Charities may be different organi-
zations, but they share the same
goal: helping children and their
families to have a better tomor-
row.

On Saturday, the all-jazz sec- ,
ond night of the Festival, Jack
Jenkins, a fifty-something-year-
old veteran of a dozen HJFs, and
one of the 31,000+ fans who filled
the coliseum over the weekend,
paused while oscratching -off T a
Virginia lottery ticket just pur-
chased at the special display in the
Coliseum lobby. oThis is the best
music I Tve heard in years "at least,
since the last time I came here for
the Silver Anniversary! ? The
evening Ts bill featured acoustic
guitarist Earl Klugh, pianist
Ramsey Lewis, the Count Bassie
Orchestra with blues crooner Joe
Williams, and Jazz Explosion fea-
turing George Duke, Rachelle
Ferrell, Will Downing, and George
Howard.
Later, when he joined his friends
dancing to live music in a nearby
hotel lounge, Jenkins said, oThis
trip is the highlight of my whole
year! I love coming to the HJF! ?
On Sunday, the closing after-
noon of the Festival, an AT&T
employee, who was handing out
keyrings and sewing kits embla-
zoned with her company Ts logo,
said, oDon Tt tell my boss and don Tt

makes necessary reforms to many
of the programs covered under this
bill. The bill includes programs
directed toward the community
and economic development and
revitalization.
oThe Section 515 Rental Hous-
ing Program has been essential to
the housing needs of our citizens
in rural areas, ? says Clayton. oIt
serves the elderly, the handi-
capped, the disabled, women and
minorities. ?
Currently, there are more than
440,000 families being served by
this program in the United States.
Within the First Congressional
District more than 4,000 families
and 1000 elderly households are
being served.
oStrengthening the 515 pro-
gram, will provide many more op-
portunities for needy families in
rural areas across the United
States to reach their dream of safe,
decent and affordable housing, ?
Clayton stated.

Later, when theconcert was over
and the next work week became a
reality, the unidentified summer

music buff, smiled into his cash
drawer. oThis is always the best
weekend of my entire fiscal year.
The HJFers cote here to have
fun, but they don Tt play when it
comes time to pay! ?
Later, after his college chums,
all HJF regulars, had said their
goodbyes and packed away their
good buys from his stock of African
inspired paraphernalia, he said, o
I can Tt wait for the next HJF "I
just hope my shop will survive Ttil

Don't let a summer storm catch you
unprepared! If you lose power, GUC offers the
following advice:
e Check to see if there are any trees or
branches on the power lines, and if there are any
downed power lines, flashes of light or any other
signs of trouble. DO NOT TOUCH ANY
. DOWNED LINES OR TREE LIMBS ON
POWER LINES!
TO DO
IF THE
LIGHTS
e Call us at 752-7166 during
business hours and at 752-5627 after
hours to report the outage. We have
extra telephone lines set up during
emergencies, but if it's a major storm,
calling may take patience because
several people will be trying to call at
once.
e Unplug TVs, stereos, and other
appliances to reduce lightning damage.
If the outage lasts longer than 60 min-
utes, turn off your water heater too.
e Keep flashlights, candles, matches,
battery-operated radios, extra batteries, canned
food and a manual can opener handy.
We want to get your power back on quickly and safety. Our
Emergency Storm Plan sets priorities, and we try to get the greatest amount
of customers back on the system in the quickest amount of time. Primary
lines are repaired first, then secondary lines. Of course, life-threatening
situations (hospitals, customers on life support) are a priority. Please be
assured that in an emergency, we will be working as fast as we can to get
power restored to everyone

share of the funds. -
The growing field of biotechnol-
ogy includes a wide array of scien-
tific techniques that use living cells
to create new products and im-
prove existing ones. Biotechnol-
ogy research holds promise for a
range of fields from medicine to
agriculture.
The legislature also approved
$700,000 for the N.C. Institute for
Minority Economic Development.
The institute helps women-and
minority-owned businesses and
acts as a clearinghouse for infor-

The money will help the insti-
tute launch several initiatives,
including a collaborative venture
_ with Duke University Ts Fuqua
School of Business to give minor-
ity owned companies guidance and
advice.
Hunt Ts budget proposal for
$300,000 for the Minority Credit

Young men, particularly, who
should be holding down good jobs,
preparing themselves academi-
cally, economically and morally for
marriage, ownership ofhomes and
the rearing of fine children are
seen instead hanging on the
streets, perhaps looking for a live-
lihood from drugs and drug push-
ing.
What are we doing - parents,
community leaders and churches
to minimize this dilemma? The
question is - Who controls your
life? What do you want from liv-
ing? Nobody makes you do any-
thing, not even peer pressure, You
must always be in control of YOU.
Put your life in God Ts hands. The
jails are not so full that a place
can Tt be found for you. The next
statistic might or could be you.
Think?
Positive Steps Toward Longevity
anid Youthfulness
1. Maintain a cheerful attitude.
2. Don Tt be a complainer.
3. Plan an assured living in-
come,
4. Keep as active as your years
will allow.
5. Control your weight and re-
duce it if necessary.
6. Find something to look for-
ward to.
7. Rest regularly and adequately.
8. Minimize your ailments.
9. Have some active interest in
things and people.
Positive Steps Toward Longer
Life in Retirement
1, Consider selling the old house
and moving to smaller quarters.
2. Weigh carefully whether to
UT La Las
Beatrice Maye
stay where you are or try a differ-
entclimate. Moving away is a revo-
lutionary step, and staying near
old friends and familiar places may
provide greater happiness.
3. Apartment or smaller-house
living seems best for most, retire-
ment communities might prove
satisfactory, if you like to see a lot
of people.
4. Don Tt buy a farm unless you
love the soil, know something about
farming, and are willing to work
hard and be lonesome.
5. Moving in with son Ts or
daughter Ts family is usually creat-
ing an area of turbulence. For most,
it Ts the road to anguish rather than
contentment.

a large urban area - Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. It didnot havemany
green (trees) but there were city
parks. The access to the parks and
the excellent public library sys-
tem enabled me to develop an in-
terest in science, ? said Blackmon.
Blackmon also credits his el-
ementary teachers who encour-
aged him, particularly Grace
Hobson and Emma Knox. oI had
the good fortune to have very car-
ing and competent elementary
teachers. These individuals guided
me, ? Blackmon said. oThey were
disciplinarians. ?
He never deviated from his child-
hood dreams. Blackmon received
his terminal degree from Howard
University in 1988. In 1989, he
received a telephone call from
Elizabeth City State University Ts
biology department and decided to
join the faculty. oI enjoy interact-
ing with students. It is my hope
that in my capacity as a biology
instructor at Elizabeth City State
University that I can excite stu-
dents about science. The future of
our nation relies on our mainte-
nance of a technologically sophis-
ticated economy, ? Blackmon said.
Blackmon Ts positive attitude has
made a difference, according to
Curtis Turnage, biology depart-
ment chairman,,. oHe is an excep-
tionally talented person. He is com-
mitted to the pursuit of research.
And he is well aware of the signifi-
cant of that research in the ad-
vancement of new knowledge in
biotechnological sciences, ?
Turnage said. oHe demonstrates "
an enthusiasm for the biological
sciences that permeates in his as-
sociation with students. ?
But although Blackmon is very
involved in producing college sci-
entists, he takes time to partici-
pate in an area math and science

a great man of God Delivered a
men day message to a church for
their annual men Ts day services
and I have heard this man speak
and teach Sunday school and other
things in the community and also
the public school system for over
30 years or more. In 1961 he joined
the- pleasant Grove Missionary
Baptist church but nowit the (First

But before I go any farther let me

versity and graduating with a de-
@fee in Physical Education and

Beaufort County Schools in 1960
and retired from that school sys-
tem in 1993. He is a member of the
