Gov. Hunt Signs Bill Expediting Eviction
Of Criminals From Public Housing
Surrounded by public housing of-
ficials from Wilmington, Goldsboro,
Greensboro, and Laurinburg, Gov.
James B. Hunt has signed into law
a measure to provide for the expe-
dited eviction of drug dealers and
other criminals from the stateTs
public housing communities.
oThis new law makes it clear"if
you're caught dealing or using
drugs, you're going to be kicked out
of public housing,? said Hunt after
signing the bill at the GovernorTs
Mansion. oWe must make all our
communities safer, and today weTre
doing that for the families living in
public housing in North Carolina.?
Previously, housing authorities
had to refer all eviction orders to a
tenant advisory board before seek-
ing a court order, often causing
months of delay in getting crimi-
nals and drug dealers out of public
housing facilities.
The new law, effective Oct. 1, al-
lows housing authorities to go di-

rectly to a district court judge for
an eviction order.
Rep. Stan Fox, D-Granville, also
in attendance at the signing, intro-

change in state law.
His efforts were supported by
Secretary of Crime Control and
Public Safety Richard Moore and
the Council of the Carolinas, an as-

ChildrenTs Hospital Takes Part
In Landmark Sickle Cell Study
The result of a study advocating
a new treatment that prevents
stroke in children with sickle cell
anemia was announced today by
the National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute of the National In-
stitutes of Health in Washington,
D.C.
The ChildrenTs Hospital of East-
ern North Carolina was one of six-
teen national sites that partici-
pated in the study.
The NIH issued a clinical alert to
U.S. physicians who treat children
with sickle cell anemia to advise
them of new data from the oStroke
Prevention Trial in Sickle Cell
Anemia? (STOP). The data shows
that administering blood transfu-
sions every three-to-four weeks to
children with sickle cell anemia
who are at high risk for stroke re-
duces their rate of stroke by 90
percent. The results of the study
were so compelling that the study
was stopped on August 29--16
months earlier than planned.
og
CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR"Seen
oThis is very good news for the
roughly 2,500 children with sickle
cell anemia who may be at risk for
stroke, and their families,? said
NHLBI Director Dr. Claude
Lenfant. oAlthough this is not a
cure, transfusions offer these chil-
dren the hepe of avoiding the dev-
astating consequences of stroke.?
Dr. Beatrice Files of the East
Carolina University School of
Medicine Department of Pediatrics
was primary investigator for the
study in the North Carolina region.
oIt requires a great deal of trust,
dedication and courage from pa-
tients and study staff in order for a
clinical trial of this magnitude to
succeed,? Files said. oThe patient
and family participants should be
proud of the part they've played in
answering the important question
of what children are at risk for
stroke and how we can prevent it.

fect lives for years to come.?

Dear Jackie and Dee:
F hay besticnd anc | troke up in May 1 was feeling so
lonely I decided to go to a club to meet someone else. Well,
the guy I met was very nice but he kept pressing me to go to
bed with him. I really didnTt feel I was ready but after a lot of
pressure I gave in. After a couple of months, he dropped me
like a hot potato. Why do guys do this? What did I do wrong?
Still Lonely
Dear Still Lonely:
There isnTt any one reason why
guys do this. Then, maybe
there is because we allow them
to do this to us. As for you, the
only thing you did was to al-
low someone else to pressure
you to do something you
didnTt want to do.

WeT ve all asked ourselves that
question. But when you dance

you expect to meet in a club?
Next time follow your convic-
tion which is guided by your
spirit...wait till it guides you
to your true spirit-mate.
Dee
Dear Jackie and Dee:
Vv, am so embarrassed and hurt. A few months ago I
decided to make my old boyfriend who works with my son sit
up and take notice of me.
I wore the tightest and most
revealing (my shape, not my body) outfit I had and strutted in
front of him when he was getting off work. What I didnTt
know was that my sonTs other co-workers were there too.
They used to respect me, now they think ITm a whore. I donTt
know what got into me! How can I fix this situation and get
their respect back?
Too Late?
Dear Too Late?:
Believe me, respect is earned,
but in this case let sleeping
dogs lie. The most important
thing is that you learn from this
mistake.
Jackie
Dear Too LateT:
I agree with Jackie! While fashion
is a matter of individuality. taste.
occasion, and perception (one
manTs whore is another's queen)
there is a line between looking
fashionably osassy? and whorish.

nately, is unconsciously crossed

He comes to my office three to four
times a day and lately we have become very flirtatious with
each other. I want to do the

Me and Mr. Jones
Dear Me:
Believe me, the proof is in the
pudding. Stop while you are

tion what is the right thing.

Dear Housemate:
Whatever behavior you see
before marriage that is the

afterwards unless GOD inter-

is a must, you need to keep in
mind that a man doesnTt com-

COMMENTS
Editorial
Credo of the Black Press
The Black Press believes that America can best lead the world away from racial
and natural antagonisms when it accords to every person, regardless of race,
color or creed, full human rights. Hating no person, fearing no person in the
firm belief that all are hurt as long as anyone is held back.
Remembering
The government is pulling out all
stops in commemorating a particular
milestone this year, and it has quite
a few observers in the community
perplexed.
It has been 40 years"to the day"
since President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower called out federal troops to
enforce a court ruling that said, es-
sentially, that Jim Crow in public
schools was illegal.
The government, as we said, is go-
ing all out. A crumbling service sta-
tion across the street from Central
High School in Little Rock, Ark. has
been hastily refurbished into a omu-
seum? of sorts detailing the historic
events.
The school has been fixed up, and a
veritable festival of programs has
been set for the entire week, includ-
ing President Bill ClintonTs trium-
phal return to his home state to de-
liver what he hopes will be another
defining speech on the future of race
relations in this country.
The effort is doubly ironic. The
government, at all levels, despite its
public pronouncements, pretty much
ignored that particular milestone for
many years.
It was not a particularly well-kept
secret that almost nobody in govern-
ment"either on the state or national
levels"looked on that particular
omilestone? with fond recollection.
Eisenhower himself was particu-
larly chagrined at the role he was
forced to play. He grew up with seg-
regation like everyone else of his
time, and assumed, with most white
Americans, that it was the way
things ought to be.
There has been an undercurrent of
that feeling since then in the halls of
government from the local town hall
to the halls of Congress.
It seems that, though they couldnTt
argue with either the legality or the
morality of that decision, white
people didnTt remember fondly the
day when they were forced to mingle
The Milestone
with their black brothers and sisters.
So it is ironic that now, 40 years
later, there is suddenly such a dra-
matic push to publicize this ogreat
turning point? in American history.
Those cynics who suggest that it is
probably an effort on the part of Wil-
liam Jefferson Clinton to push his
newfound quest to bring the races in
America together, while at the same
time taking attention away from his
more publicized foibles, are probably
not too far off base.
The irony continues, though, in
that, after all this time, black folks
have fallen out of love with that par-
ticular milestone.
They recognize that, as turning
points go, the events in Little Rock
that September morning are more
symbolism than anything else.
Little changed, either there or
anywhere else, for black folks. In-
stead of being segregated in differ-
ent schools, black kids in many
places are segregated in their own
ospecial? classrooms inside predomi-
nantly white schools.
Of course, there are the many in-
ner-city systems where white
flight? has made all-black schools a
reality once again. In fact, there are
many places across the country
where that reality never changed.
Then there are those who will
point out that this omilestone? was
more of a omillstone? around the
necks of black children.
With the loss of teachers who be-
lieved in their ability and cared
whether they succeeded (since they
were the future of their own race),
black kids fell farther and farther be-
hind as integration took hold.
Still, a milestone is a milestone,
and a turning point, if a symbolic
one, was definitely created in Little
Rock that day.
So the country will be remember-
ing those events this week.
How many will be celebrating"on
both sides"is debatable.
Investing in the Future
oInvest in the future? is a much-
used phrase nowadays. Any time a
new program is launched, a new
strategy devised, and it needs our
support, that phrase comes out in a
heartbeat.
It is appropriate in any number of
cases. But there is one group that is
putting it literally into practice.
Actually, there are more than one.
They are springing up all across the
country. They are African-American
investment clubs, and they are mak-
ing the transition from consumers to
capitalists, from spectators to play-
ers, that most of us only dream of
making.
It has been said that the difference
between a rich man and a poor man
is that a poor man works for his
money, and a rich manTs money
works for him.
That is literally true. Once you
have enough capital, you can begin
investing it"which is different from
spending it. ee
The difference is that when you
spend your money, you use up what
you buy with it. Shoes, clothes, auto-
mobiles, even electronic equipment,
all depreciate in value, and eventu-
ally break down.
But if you use some of that same
money to buy stocks, bonds, real es-
tate, and the like, and you choose
your purchases wisely, the value of
your purchase will increase, and will
keep increasing as time progresses.
That is called investment. And it is
what has traditionally marked the
difference between the black com-
munity and the mainstream commu-
nity.
To be sure, most of those in the
mainstream community donTt invest,
either. Very few people in our soci-
ety know how to use their know-how
and skills to make their money work
for them.
But the fact is, historically, almost
all of those few have been in the
white community. Our forefathers
never had enough: money to save
more than one week at a time, so in-
vestment was a skill they neither
learned nor needed to learn.
But these groups across the coun-
try are changing that. One group in
Durham, in particular, New Free-
dom Investment Club, is making
waves and being noticed.
They took a very modest invest-
ment, and in a few years, have
turned it into a $100,000 nest egg
that keeps growing by leaps and
bounds.
They have about as many mem-
bers"2l"as they want, but they
see no reason why more groups canTt
do what they have done.
Neither do we. In our pages in the
near future, you will be reading more
about how we can take our future
into our own hands, Stay tuned!

Looking In The
Mirror Can
Solve A Lot
Of Problems
BY TREY BANKHEAD
@
In recent weeks, ITve been having a lot of problems. One
of the biggest ones has concerned my job. ;
For those who donTt know, ITm a Communications teacher
at a local school that has a primarily Black population. ITve
always considered myself to be an excellent teacher. Even
though I havenTt taught for very long, in the past two years,
1 have taught in The Oakwood (private) School, Pitt County
Mental Health, several schools in the Pitt County School
system, Pitt Community College, and the Right Step Acad-
emy Charter school. Not bad experience for only two years,
huh? Still, in all that time, I had never doubted by teaching
abilities. Give me a child who WANTS to learn, I thought,
and I will teach that child! No, I had never doubted my
teaching ability...
Until recently.
I first realized that I was having problems when someone
my wife and [ had just met asked me what | do for a living.
Rather then give the smiling, proud response of oITm a
teacher,?, I actually hesitated. It surprised me; Why was | no
longer proud to be a teacher?
I started looking around for the cause. | was having prob-
lems keeping order in my classes. Students constantly chal-
lenged me physically, and seemed to have no respect for my
authority as their teacher. Those students whom I could tell
wanted to learn were frustrated by the constant distractions
of the unruly kids in the classes. My wife made it even
clearer: oI never hear you talk about anything GOOD about
your day anymore. EverythingTs always so negative.?
That shook me! I mean, I have always found teaching to
be an emotional roller coaster ride. A thrill a minute, never
knowing exactly what would happen next, only that it would
be worth the experience. To me, seeing that sudden look of
comprehension in a studentTs eyes always made the struggle
to get through to the kids worthwhile. But, recently, ITd lost
that thrill. I no longer looked forward to each day at school.
Instead, I dreaded getting up in the morning.
I'll admit it: I started blaming my lack of enjoyment of
teaching on the kids. I thought, oHow can I teach them when
most of them did not want to learn? WhatTs the point?? My
confidence slipped, and with it went my effectiveness in the
classroom. Any order in the classroom became replaced by
chaos. My temper grew shorter, and little things that never
bothered me before now grated on my nerves. My wife
stopped asking me about my day, afraid of what new prob-
lem had cropped up, or what frustration I had. I started
avoiding my coworkers, afraid I'd start snapping at them!
Now I know why the majority of all teachers quit before
they reach the three-year mark.
My coworkers were great: they kept trying to draw me
out, to get me to talk about what was bothering me, but how
could 1? THEY werenTt fighting for control of the classes
every day. My supervisor made many great suggestions on
how to be more effective, but I did not listen. I had hit the
point where I had almost stopped caring. I started looking
around at other fields of employment, convinced that becom-
ing a teacher had been the worst mistake of my life. I even
got as far as updating my resume.
Then, one morning, my wife suggested that I needed to
ochange my perspective on the kids.? She said that I was
letting my ofrustration poison my opinion of them, and of my
job.? So, for her, I promised that, for that one day, I would
try to look at things fresh.
It made a HUGE difference!
Not only could I see how badly my faith in the kids had
eroded, I could see how badly my faith in MYSELF had
slipped, too! And, because of that, the kids were starting to
lose their faith in me, as well. I started noticing little things
that were causing confusion for the kids. Their understand-
ing of the material I was presenting was imperfect, and I
hadnTt noticed. The kids moods had started to match mine,
and the oI donTt care? attitude was becoming more common.
The next time my supervisor wanted to talk with me, I
listened. She pointed out several things I could do to be more
effective. ITve actually taken what sheTs said and used it to
plan for the rest of the semester. Budgeting my time so that
I donTt feel pressured all of the time had helped a great deal.
Planning everything in advance also keeps the stress down.
This week, I'll be observing other teachers in the classrooms
of another school, noting differences in style, and asking for
advice.
You see, sometimes, when everything seems to be collaps-
ing around you, itTs not anyoneTs fault but your own. If youTre
not willing to look at yourself, look into yourself, then you'll
never solve the problem. It will keep coming back again and
again, each time hitting you harder until you give up. ItTs
very easy to look around and point out the flaws in other
people. But it takes a great deal of strength to look inside
yourself and find your OWN flaws.
So now, when I get up in the morning, I look at myself in
the mirror and ask myself: oWhat can I do today to make
today a better day than yesterday?? ITm still surprised by the
number of answers I come up with.
SERVING THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF SERVING
TIME
By Marian Wright Edelman
Childwotch
With the number of legal scrapes that Chuck Lewis expe-
rienced as a young man growing up in Southern California,
he could easily have wound up serving a jail term instead of
serving his community.
oBut God saw fit to give me a chance at a better life,?
says Chuck, now a sergeant for the federal Government
Printing Office Police in Washington, D.C.
As a boy, Chuck often spent his school days running the
streets and his evenings stealing hubcaps and getting into
other mischief. Before long he landed in front of a judge
whose patience had almost run out but who gave him one
more chance.
Chuck packed his bags and headed for the Army. There
he met people who believed in him and taught him self-
discipline. He served in Vietnam and joined the military po-
lice, discovering it was far more productive to help young
recruits steer clear of trouble than locking them up after
they crossed the line. It was a lesson that heTs been applying
throughout his more than 40 years in law enforcement.
oWe have to catch these kids between ages six and 13,
and make a positive difference in their lives,? says Chuck, a
member of the Black Police Association and president of the
Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 2 in D.C. oITve learned
that many of the kids who get into trouble are a lot like I
was as a kid. Most of the time they just need a second
chance, somebody to believe in them. I understand that some
young people are violent and need to be separated from the
rest of society for a time, but most of them are not violent
offenders.
oEverybody seems to be talking about trying more chil-
dren as adults, but we have to remember that they are still
kids. It sure makes more sense to treat them with love and
get them involved in something constructive and meaningful
before they get into trouble.?
Chuck is right. Studies have shown trying children in
adult courts does not deter criminal behavior. A new study
in Florida, for example, found that those young people tried
as adults committed new crimes sooner after their release
from prison, and perpetrated more serious and violent
crimes than those tried as juveniles. ThatTs because adult
courts and adult prison lack the education, counseling and
treatment that help offenders rehabilitate themselves.
Rather, adult jails are crime schools where young convicts
learn from the worst possible role models"hardened crimi-
nals.
This fall the U.S. Senate will vote on a bill, S.10, which
could mean more children than ever being thrown into adult
prisons. The House already has passed an equally harsh
companion bill, H.R. 3. We must act now to protect children
from being trampled by gutless politicians seeking to prove
they are otough on crime? by voting for harsher punishments
against young offenders.
Call your senators. Tell them that we mustnTt allow chil-
dren to be tried in adult courts and thrown into adult prison
where they will only learn to become better criminals; to be
subjected to harassment, assault, and rape and face in-
creased risk of suicide. Tell them that we must invest in
intervention and prevention on the front end and do some-
thing to stop the flow of guns into our childrenTs communi-
ties and homes. And if our children are unfortunate enough
to land in court, tell your senators to make sure children get
a juvenile court process and thé kind of education and psy-
chological treatment that will help them lead productive
lives.
oNot only does imprisonment rob too many youths of a
chance for a better life,? Chuck says, obut it robs society of
the benefit of their potential good. I will always think of the
kind of life I might be leading right now if I didnTt get the
opportunity to start over.?

Prostate Cancer
Awareness Week
Sept. 22 - 26
The American Cancer Society
has proclaimed the week of Sept.
18-24 as Prostate Cancer Aware-
ness Week because prostate cancer
is the leading cause of cancer in
men. North Carolina has the
nationTs highest mortality rate for
prostate cancer among nonwhite
males than anywhere in the na-
tion. According to oCancer Facts &
Figures-1997,? there are an esti-
mated 6,300 new cancer cases this
year; with an estimated 1,300
North Carolina men dying from the
disease.
The American Cancer Society
urges every man aged 40 and over
to have a digital rectal exam as
part of his regular annual physical
checkup. In addition, it is recom-
mended that men aged 50 and over
have an annual prostate-specific
antigen blood test. If either result
is suspicious, further evaluation
should be performed.
The American Cancer Society is
the nationwide, community-based
voluntary health organization dedi-
cated to eliminating cancer as a
major health problem by prevent-
ing cancer, saving lives from cancer
and diminishing suffering from
cancer through research, educa-
tion, advocacy and service. The So-
ciety is committed to supporting
screening, support groups and
awareness programming in com-
munities throughout North Caro-
lina. For more information about
local prostate cancer control efforts

versity of Georgia and author of
the book oAfrican American Gar-
dens and Yards in the Rural
South,? will explore the influences
of African culture, the effects of
poverty and the importance of self-
sufficiency on these African Ameri-
can gardens. The lecture begins at
10 a.m. in the Tryon Palace Audito-
rium on Saturday, Oct. 11. It is
free and no reservations are
needed.
Over the Chrysanthemum Festi-
val weekend, the 4th Company,
Brigade of Guards in America will
live as military men and their fol-
lowers did during the American
Revolution. They prepare food over
an open fire, mount a guard to se-
cure the camp for the evening, and
carry out military drills. Although
military life is always demanding,
these reenactors take the time to
explain their way of life to curious
guests. In the 18th century fami-
lies often accompanied their men
on campaign, so women and chil-
dren will also be on hand to talk
about the rigors of military life.

Free medical care to children:
thatTs the role of Shriners
Hospitals in North America.
Since leaving the Greenville
Shriners Hospital, Nikki Man-
ning, 8, knew she wanted to give
something back to the hospital
and staff that had given her the
ability to run.
Born with nerve damage in one
of her legs, Nikki has been a
patient at the Greenville Shriners
Hospital since she was a year old.
She has undergone two surgeries
for tendon and bone transplants
to straighten her legs. She now
runs and plays like most children
her age, with only a hghtweight
brace to help support her leg.
Nikki came up with a way to
help the other kids she had met
and show her appreciation to the
doctors and nurses who had
become her friends. She decided to
have a yard sale and give the
money she earned to Shriners
Hospitals.
The idea for a yard sale for
Shriners Hospitals became a pro-
ject for the entire Manning house-
hold. Nikki donated many of her
toys, and spent the day before the
yard sale baking cupcakes to sell
to her customers. Neighbors ral-
lied behind her by donating items,
and local businesses in the area
also pitched in with miscellaneous
articles. The local newspaper
printed a story about NikkiTs yard
sale.
It was a proud day for Nikki
when she arrived at the hospital
with $250 in cash as a donation to
help the hospital continue to pro-
vide the same kind of care that
now enables her to run races with
her brother, Jordan.

Gov. Jim Hunt challenged the
_ Governor's Commission on Juve-
5 nile Crime and Justice at its first
- meeting last week to develop a
ao pee to Prrstade Jove:
nile crime with punishment and
prevention, to keep at-risk young-
sters away from crime and drugs.
oToday ITm issuing a challenge to

which he appointed last week.
oWe must do whatever it takes to
keep violent criminals"whatever
their age"off out streets.. ITm just
Ae Se, Be Carlin:
as determined to make sure we're
reaching every child before itTs too
late.?
Hunt chairs the 19-member com-
mission, which includes Tthe stateTs
top leaders ion law enforcement,
juvenile crime and childrenTs is-
sues.
During the meeting, commission
members heard from experts about
trends in national and state juve-
nile crime, and participated in an
hourlong open forum with law en-
forcement and court officials, child
advocates, and community leaders
about the problems in North
CarolinaTs current juvenile justice
system.
Hunt began the day by observing
a closed-door juvenile court hear-
ing and holding a roundtahle dis-
cussion with a juvenile court judge
and other court professionals about
how to improve the juvenile justice
system and research youngsters
before they enter the system.
oWe want to do whatever it takes
to make our communities and
neighborhoods safe,? Hunt said.
oIt will take all of us working to-
gether to reach our young people,
stateTs juvenile justice system and ita felony to bring a gun to ocheali
holding public hearings across the expand juvenile and detention
state. The commission will then training school facilities, boot on
recommend an action plan to the 5
governor on ways to fight the rising
juvenile crime rate in North Caro-
lina.
The commission is charged with
focusing its efforts in four specific
areas: revising the juvenile code,
the body of law that deals with ju-
venile crime; boosting the stateTs
prevention and drug education ef-
forts to help at-risk youngsters; de-
veloping tougher punishment for
first-time juvenile offenders and
violent offenders; and streamlining
and coordinating the state agencies
that deal with juvenile crime.
Hunt has made fighting juvenile
crime a top priority of his crime
agenda. During his 1996 campaign,
he proposed stepping up preven-
tion efforts with more community-
based initiatives like Support Our
Students (SOS), the governorTs af-
terschool program for at-risk
youngsters, tougher punishment
for juvenile offenders, and reform-
ing the juvenile justice system.
In 1994, Hunt called a special
session of the Legislature to focus
on crime, and he pushed into law a
measure that tries some violent ju-
veniles as adults.
Hunt also pushed efforts to make
