Greenville Post Office delivers dog bite prevention tips
Pitt County Animal Shelter is
joining The Humane Society of the
United States (HSUS) and the
United States postal Service
(USPS) in an effort to reduce dog
bites in this country by sponsoring
National Dog Bite Prevention

The focus of the week was on
reducing dog bites through respon-
sible pet ownership. To spread this
message, the USPS mailed infor-

that most dog bites are prevent-

More than two million dog bites

In addition, statistics show that
dogs who have not been spayed or

likely to bite as those who have
been sterilized. In fact, while par-

BY CONGRESSWOMAN
EVA M. CLAYTON
With the basketball playoffs
over, you might think that Peter
Hextler of the CUI Corporation in.
Wilmington will be turning his
attention to baseball now. But
Hextler, and many of his 65 em-
ployees are more concerned about
how things are going in Australia,
Japan and England, because that Ts
where an increasing amount of
CUI Ts goods are going.
That wasn Tt the case five years
ago. But since CUI started devel-
oping markets overseas, foreign
sales have grown to 5 percent of
CUI revenues.
CUlisn Tt unique. In the 1st Con-
gressional District alone there are
more than 450 companies that
manufacture goods for foreign
markets "and nearly two thirds
employ less than 100 people. Even
more impressive, these companies
have seen a growth in exports that
has outstripped the growth rates
of exports for North Carolina and

each year.
More and more, the economic
well-being of our region depends
on our ability to sell our products
to other countries. Clearly our abil-
ity to generate good jobs in the
future is tied to exports and the.
ability of local companies, small
and large, to exploit opportunities
in other countries.
That Ts why I am hosting a oJobs
Through Exports ? hearing in
Wilmington on June 23 that will
investigate ways that federal and
state agencies can help local com-
panies gain access to foreign mar-
kets. As a member of the House
Small Business Committee and an
appointee to the President Ts Ex-
port Council, Ihave learned agreat
deal about the relationship be-
tween exports and better jobs and
one of my top priorities is to foster
jobcreation by increasing the num-
ber of local businesses to market

The time when our region, or

unique combination of harbors at
Wilmington and Morehead City,
a strong interstate system, and a

working with community leaders

ment could do, and shouldn Tt do,
to help businesses develop rela-

the best way to help the private

will be available to provide infor-

local businesses expand their op-

good planning and guidance, we'll
be able to create hundreds more

Yes, summertime, it Ts vacation

rest.
Summertime and friends just
somehow go together, for friends
have positive qualities: love, loy-
alty, sharing, equality, mutual
support, consideration and fun. A
true friendship lasts forever.

For those of you who are critical
of how your mom and dad have
related to you during the teen years
and beyond, I urge you to be chari-
table to them. It is extremely diffi-
cult to be good parents today. Even
those who are highly motivated to
do the job right often make a mess
of things. Why? Because children
are infinitely complex. There is no
formula that works in every case.
In fact, I believe it is more diffi-
cult to raise children now than
ever before. Be assured that you
will not do the job perfectly, e1-
ther. Someday, if you are blessed
with children, one or more of them
will blame you for your failures,
just as you may have criticized
your parents.
10 SPIRITUAL
GUIDELINES OF VALUE
TO YOUR CHILDREN
1. Be an example. Albert
Schweitzer once said, oExample is
not the main thing in infleuncing
others - it is the only thing ?.
2. Keep it simple. To communi-
cate to your children, begin look-
ing around for everyday occur-
rences and objects you can use to
convey deeper ideas to them. Keep
it simple.
3. Be sensitive. Listen to their
concerns.
4. Keepit short. Limit devotions
to three minutes.
5. Make it exciting. Read Bible
stories, watch and discuss Chris-
tian videos, use games. A favorite
is oTwenty Questions ?.
6. Be flexible. Do things in the
car, at meals, in the pool.

eternal dividends/benefits. Your
children will never forget what
they learned from their parents.

10 Lessons for Living
1. It is not easy for us to change.
But it is possible. And this capac-
ity is our glory as human beings.
2. The only way to assure being
loved is to be a person worthy of
love.
3. If you desire greater wisdom,
you can find it inside you.
4. Integrity is never painless.
5. We are incapable of loving
another unless we love ourselves.
6. True listening is love in ac-
tion.
7. It is through love that elevate
ourselves. And it is through our
love for others that we assist oth-
ers to elevate themselves.
8. Itis our sense of commitment
after the wedding that makes pos-
sible the transition from falling in
love to genuine love. And it is our
commitment after conception that
transforms us from biological into
psychologieal parents.
9. Learning from our children is
the best opportunity we have to
assure ourselves ofa meaningful
old age.
10. The farther one travels along
the journey of life, the more joy
and the more pain one experiences.
However, for all that is given up,
even more is gained. By: M. Scott
Peck
Make a Little Bit of Time
Pay Off
1. Eat at least one meal a day
with your child. Discuss the books
he Ts reading, the science experi-
ments he Ts doing. Tell him about
your day.
2.Watch TV with her. Use it as
for a discussion of values.
3. Teach him how to set priori-
ties. Make to-do lists: with him;
discuss which tas ks should. be
done first .
4. Teach her to estimate how
long it wlll take to do her home-
work. Compare the estimated with
the actual time.
5. Encourage children to be.in-
tellectual risk-takers. Help them
invent a maze for a pet gerbils
bullda pyramid out of sugar cubes.
Teach them not to be afraid of
failing.
CAN'T is the worst word that Ts
written or spoken. .
CAN'T is the father of feeble
endeavor.
CAN TT is the word that is foe
(enemy) to ambition. DEVOTION
is a two-way street between
friends. HOME is where LOVE
grows.

through
Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class
Harry L. Rouse, son of Betty and
Harry L. Rouse Sr. of Greenville,
is currently halfway through a six-
montn overseas deployment to the
Persian Gulf aboard the destroyer
USS O TBannon. :
Rouse is one of 382 sailors aboard
the ship who departed Charles-
ton, S.C., in March for the six-
month assignment with the Middle
Fast Force.In addition to support-
ing the international embargo
against Iraq, Rouse and fellowcrew
members have organized and held
two receptions for foreign digni-
taries from Oman and Bahnrain.
In Oman, Rouse Ts ship hosted a
reception in honor of the Vice
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, Adm. William A. Owens.
Rouse and his shipmates also held
a reception while in Bahrain for a
visiting congressional delegation.
Spending most of the deploy-
ment at sea, Rouse also has visited
the United Arab emirates. While
in Dubai, United Arab Emirates,
Sailors from the USS O TBannon
volunteered their free time to reno-
vate a school for disadvantaged
children.
Rouse Ts involvement in the de-
ployment is an example of how
U.S. Sailors are surving aboard
ships, submarines and aircraft
carriers around the world from
the Persian Gulf and Western Pa-
cific Ocean to the Mediterranean
sea. Whether delivering humani-
tarian assistance, cargo, or troops
from the sea, these highly trained
naval forces provide a unique
torward presence and crisis-re-
sponse option, which can be with-
drawn quickly when no longer
needed.

Conley High School joined the

PROVERBS 29:18 tells us
oWhere there is no vision, the
people perish:... ? Evangelist
George A. Hawkins is a man with
a vision. Until the year 1991, Tab-
ernacle Center Church of Deliver-
ance, Inc., was a only a vision in-
grained deep in the heart of Evan-
gelist Hawkins by God. Today, that
vision has become a reality in full
bloom. God, in His greatness and
by His omnipotent power, has
brought this vision into fruition.
Tabernacle Center Church of De-
liverance opened its doors at 404
Evans Street (Mall) in Greenville
for their first service on Apmil 21,
1991, with only seven (7) members
and a host of visitors. praises were
given to the Lord Jesus Christ for
the things He had done. Taber-
nacle received an Independent
Chartered Church status with the
State of North Carolina, and the
County of Pitt in April of 1991. A
few months later, it was incorpo-
rated. However, the most impor-
tant status was given by our Heav-
enly Father at the time the vision
was placed on the heart of Pastor
Hawkins, and that is the status of
VOICE CE - WEEK OF JUNE 30 - JULY 7, 1995
Tabernacle Center of Deliverance
No longer a vision... . Now a Reality!"
oSoul Winning ?.
When the Church began, some
specific requirements were given
the body of Christ. They are: (1) to
bring God Ts people back to the be-
ginning; C2) to bring the people of
God out of religion and into a rela-
tionship with God; and, (3) to bring
the people of God into the matu-
rity of God Ts word. We are prayer-
fully striving hard to do the work
of the Lord according to the charge
given us. The Lord has blessed the
work of our hands as His words
proclaimed He would do. The Lord
prompted Pastor Hawkins to ex-
pand the ministry. With many
souls coming to Christ, the minis-
try branching out in many direc-
tions,, and the present place of
worship growing more crowded
daily, it was time to make a move...
we needed a larger place. On Au-
gust 4, 1993,, the wheels were put
in motion.
The Lord blessed us to purchase
the property at the corners of
Dickinson Avenue and 14th and
Chestnut Streets...the future site
of our new sanctuary. We were
told we could not afford the prop-
erty because it was priced at
$155,000.00 and we were just a
groupof oNOBODIES ?. Ourchurch
is made up of former drug addicts,
drug pushers, welfare victims,
homosexuals, alcoholics, depressed
and homeless people. There were
even a few who were saved but
still walking the streets of DE-
FEAT, not realizing they were not
experiencing the FULLNESS ofa
Christian life. Today, these same
people are saved, walking in the
light of God Ts word, and know how
to overcome the trials of life while
praising the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lord said in His word that He
hath chosen the foolish things of
the world to confound the wise. To
the world it is foolish for a group of
oNOBODIES ? (most of them with-
out jobs when they came into the
ministry) to ever think of purchas-
ing anything that cost more than
$1.00. It would be foolish if the
Lord had not told us that oExcept
the Lord build the house, they
labour in vain that build it: except
the Lord keep the city, the watch-
man waketh but in vain. PSALMS
127:1
The first step in coming out of
religion into a real relationship
with God is learning to rely totally
on God by studying His word and
HAWK OKS c
Naan
spending quality time in prayer
and fasting before the Lord. Be-
cause of these promises, we refuse
to be defeated... for God is the
lefter R.
Had we listened to all the nega-
tive comments and not sought the
Lord for directions, we would never
have made a step nor raised a
finger to go beyond 404 Evans
Street. We have learned to give
thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ
for ALL things, as His words com-
mand us to. Tabernacle Center
Church of Deliverance was estab-
lished on the word of God and will
continue to grow by the word be-
cause we know that the minute we
take down or try to do it our way
and by our own strength we will
surely fall. As soul winners for
Christ, our first priority is to have
Jesus at the center of our life. The
hand of God has worked many
miracles in Tabernacle.... souls
have been saved, bodies have been
healed, habits have been broken,
homes have been restored, unem-
ployed persons have received jobs,
homeless have found homes, and
many other hearts T desires have
been realized. For all these bless-
ings and more, we give ALL the
glory and honor to the Lord.
The Lord has blessed us with a
Prison Ministry, a Street Minis-
try, an Outreach Ministry for the
sick, suffering and dying, and those
persons who are lonely and need
someone to talk to or just listen.
We have a ministry that reaches
out to the total man "no matter
what the situation or problem
might be. We also havea Children Ts
Ministry... teaching them they
ways of Christ. God uses ordinary
people like us who come from all
walks of life. Because we are new
creatures in Christ, we can handle
any situation or problem that
might arise because we have the
problem solver, JESUS CHRIST,
guiding us.
Ithas been a year and ten months
since the second phase of the vi-
sion unfolded and now we are pre-
paring to go into phase three of the
vision. On Saturday, June 3, 1995,
we held our ground-breaking cer-
emony marking the beginning of
construction for our new edifice at
the corner of Dickinson Avenue
and 14th Streets, dedicating tothe
Lord the land for the building of
our new sanctuary which will have
a seating capacity of 500. We were
honored with the presence of such
notables as the Honorable Nancy
Jenkins, Mayor of the City of
Greenville, City Councilwoman
Mildred Council, Mr. Jim Rouse,
President of WOOW Radio and
the ~M T Voice Newspaper, Mr. Wil-
liam Clark, WOOW Radio Person-
ality, Prophet and Mrs. Raymond
Solomon of Trinidad. There were
many other friends and well-wish-
ers with us on this momentous
occasion. The weather was pour-
ing rain, but our spirits could not
be dampened on this day. Each of
us had sunshine in our very souls.
During the past four years, the
Lord has truly shown us who Heis
in the power of His ressurection.
He has renewed our minds from
thinking oI can Tt do anything ? to
knowing oI can do all things
through Christ which
strengtheneth me ? PHILIPPIANS
4:13. This scripture tells us that
the Lord has made every provision
necessary for us andis continually
strengthening us daily in every
area of our lives while encourag-
ing us to stand firm on the word of
God...in spite of. To God be the
glory for the things he has done!

The Patriot Party "a new road to =
Black empowerment
By: Dr. Lenora Fulani
I Tve just returned from Minne-
apolis, Minnesota, where I was a
delegate at the second annual con-
vention of the national Patriot
Party that was held there. It was
an extraordinary event: over 110
delegates, representing 24 states,
came together to mark the first
year of the party Ts existence and
make preparations for the 1996
presidential election.
The Patriot Party was founded
one year ago in Arlington, Vir-
, ginia by an unlikely coming to-
gether of a network of white activ-
ists newly politicized by Ross
Perot Ts 1992 presidential cam-
paign, and me and many of my
colleagues and followers from the
African American community. At
that original meeting, a set of prin-
ciples were hammered out which
featured democratic restructuring,
government accountability and fis-
cal responsibility as the party Ts
goals.
In the year since its founding,
the Patriot Party has flourished.
And it has attracted some of the
most inspiring and energetic new
independent Black leaders in the
country. Joining me as delegates
on the floor of the convention were:
Kelvin Alexander and Adolph
Montgomery, both leaders of the
Black police of ficers association in
New York City, the Guardians;
Wayne Griffin and Charles
Bunche, who had run for governor
and lieutenant governor, respec-
tively, of South Carolina on the
Patriot Party-affiliated line last
November; Yvonne Braime from
Newark, New Jersey; Raquel
Holmes from Boston, Massachu-
setts; Andrew Garnett from Au-
gusta, Georgia; Nate Roberson,
who was elected Greene County
Commissioner in Alabama on the
Patriot line; David Cherry from
Chicago, who had participated in
the African American Summit;
Queenie Lawrence from Brooklyn,

triot Party Ts national secretary,
Dr. Jessie Fields.
What shocks many political
pundits about this new party, and
my effort to build it in the Black
community, is that it has few of
the trappings traditionally asso-
ciated with Black political partici-
pation. Many people, including our
elected officials, believe that the
Black community belongs in the
kind of political setting where tra-
ditional Black issues "increased
social service benefits, affirma-
tive action, education "would be
the centerpiece of a political
agenda. However, close to60 years
of participation in the political
system "largely through the
Democratic Party " and largely
oriented toward such so-called
oBlack ? issues, has left the Black
community politically and eco-
nomically impoverished.
It is very easy to walk into the
Black community and give a
ringingly militant speech about
housing or health care. The Demo-
crats do it every day of the week.
It is nothing less than a political
tragedy that the Black commu-
nity has been fooled over and over
again by such political ploys. The
fact of the matter is that the pri-
mary beneficiary of Big Govern-
ment spending in the Black com-
munity is not Black people. The
primary beneficiary of Big Gov-
ernment spending in the Black
community is the Democratic
Party, which uses those programs
as political patronage mills in or
der to keep themselves in power,
while the Black community con-
tinues to suffer. I will not partici-
pate in deluding the Black com-
munity the way the Democrats
do. We have worked extremely
hard to build the Patnot Party "
which is a new American partner-
ship "along very non-traditional
lines. We spent the bulk of the
convention "into the late hours of
the night "dialoguing and voting
on platform issues. This dialogue
was very intense because it was
really, at root, about what kind of
party we would be; about whether
the Patriot Party is going to be a
party that adopts various plat-
form planks in order to appeal to

Interview with Judge James E. Martin
By: M'BuluRouse
(Allegations that he has violated
the judicial system by treating
people with leancy and not going
by the book.)
On May 17, 1995, I was able to
have an interview with Judge
James E. Martin and discuss with
him about being censored for a
second time. The citizens of the
judicial district of Pitt County feel
as though Judge Martin should
step down due to him so-called
interferon in a case concerning
some people that he knew. When
you are or shall I say, have been a
judge for - 15 years of your life, and
have seen every court case come
through the judicial system. then
sometimes you tend to havea heart
or sometimes may even see some-
one that you may know or have
known, or in many cases know
their parents. Now, I ask you the
community.... if you were a dis-
trict court judge and have been
majority of your life. how would
you go about treating the public or
those that come into your court-
room, Would you let your job, get
you to the point that you would not
have a heart or compassion for
those that no absolutely nothing
about the judicial system and how
it works.... especially to blacks. I
am sure that a lot of you read the
article recently published about
Judge James FE. Martin. This ar-
ticle is clearly to state a matter of
opinion. I am a citizen of Pitt
County and have been for about
two years now, and being a citizen
a andian African-American here in
Pitt County, there are a lot of
those that really don Tt give adamn
about our people and how we go
about treating our race. In my
eyes, Judge James E. Martin, does
not show to me, that he doesn Tt
care. [have witnessed Judge Mar-
tin on several occasions in the
court room, and he clearly to me
shows a man that cares and cares
a great deal about people and how
the judicial system treats every-
one. Now I understand that ac-
cording to the Daily Reflector,
Judge Martin does not go by the
book and that when it comes to a
particular case, you are not sup-
posed to discuss the case outside
the courtroom, but someone please
tell me,...Is it that a judge is not
supposed to have any feelings
what so ever about anything when
it comes to that courtroom.
Judge James E. Martin is a
judge that I truly admire and re-
spect and believe that he does
care and cares for our people. Not
just our people, but for everyone.
There is no law in the world that
states that no matter where you
are in thejudicial system you can Tt
have compassion and sympathy.
We understand that you have to
do your job, but you can still have
compassion. Not saying that you
can Tt do your job, but we are all
humans and you can Tt live in this
world today, with everything that
is going on and not have some
type of feelings for the community
or shall I say for those that come
into the courtroom.
Judge James E, Martin clearly
tome ig aman toatieiss andlikes
for people to know and understand
the judicial system, so that you
won't get caught up in the system
repeatedly.
The citizens of the judicial dis-
trict have their opinions and have
every right in the world to voice
them, but don Tt knock a man for
being human. I Tve seen some of the
judges here in Pitt County act or
show that they just don Tt give a
damn about what happens to you,
but what are we supposed to do
when there is someone that does
care and has compassion for those
no nothing about the judicial sys-
tem.
We need to stop having so much
negativity and start having some
compassion for the general public.
