THE
EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1987
Greenville notes the p;
of Mr. George Garrett
A faithful, devoted husband to
his wife, a loving father to his
children and family, and a role
model and inspiration to all who
knew him. . . All appropriately
descriptive phrases to use when
referrring to Mr. George Francis
Garrett. Just as accurate are civil
rights activist and humanitarian.
An avid baseball fan, Garrett
played baseball with the Greenville
all-stars. He later organized alittle
league that was headquartered at
what is now the south Greenville
recreation center. This was a
means to remove our youths from
the streets and place them in su-
pervised, wholesome recreational
activities.
Though never loud or boister-
ous, Mr. Garrett never hesitated
to speak up on any of the issues
that would help improve our way
of life. He was driven by his com-
passion and convictions regarding
the struggle for civil rights. Mr.
Garrett would picket and/or boy-
cott any business concern that
denied employment, career growth
opportunities, etc. To African
Americans that were offered to
anyone else. There were even times
when he was known to demon-
strate solo, but his convictions
never lessened. Heis credited with
bringing enough focus to work
places like the telephone company,
Piggly Wiggly and others, to se-
cure employment for African
Americans. A former president of
~the Pitt county branch of the South-
ern Christian Leadership Confer-
ence, he belonged to many civic,
social, and fraternal organizations.
Mr. Garrett was a faithful mem-
ber of the york memorial Ame Zion
Church. In June 1990, Garrett was
named father of the year by York
Memorial. In recognition of his
valiant civicefforts, Greenville city
Mayor Nancy Jenkins declared

There is a quote that says, oal-
ways be like the gentle snowflake:
leave your mark... But never a
scar. � There is a definite mark on
the life of each of us who was
fortunate enough to have been
touched by George Garrett and
who now bid him a solemn fare-
well. Wherever a need existed, Mr.
Garrett was found busy trying to
help bring about a change. . . a
positive change...a change for
good... Giving substance to the
lines of the poet who wrote: o. . . to
a suffering fellowman, let me do it
while I can. No delay, for it is
plain. I shall not pass this way
again. �

independent party
I have spent the weeks since the
November 8 election studying re-
sults from around the country and
Iamstruck by a number of factors.
The Republicans picked up a sub-
stantial congressional advantage
by campaigning against a sprawl-
ing, debt-ridden and tax-hungry'
government, that they themselves
participated in creating; the Demo-
crats, forced to defend that gov-
ernment in all its gridlock and
ineptitude, lost their congressional
edge in doing so. In contrast, the
independents (and by indepen-
dents here I mean the broad spec-
trum of multi-partyists who lead
and vote for the variety of third
parties in America) provided much
of the substantive democracy and
fiscal reform agenda that the Re-
publicans successfully coopted and
rode to victory. The independents
gained political ground, and suc-
ceeded in making a dent in the
otwo-party consciousness � of the
country Ts major media. The inde-
pendent success stories of the 1994
election season are, for the most
part, known to all of us. The Liber-
tarian Party, while describing its
own results as omixed .. . but gen-
erally upbeat, � elected seven Lib-
ertarians to public office, re-elected
three and picked up ballot status
in five states, bringing the total
number of their ballot lines to 23.
The national Patriot Party, with
which I am affiliated, won ballot
status in Minnesota and held bal-
lot status in Pennsylvania. The
Independence Fusion Party of New
York "which grew out of the com-
bined efforts of Patriot Party ac-
tivists, political scientist Dr. Gor-
don Black, and myself "won bal-
lot status through a highly publi-
cized campaign which saw Ross
Perot endorsing the IFP guberna-
torial candidate, Tom Golisano,
and making one of Perot Ts stron-
gest pro-third party statements to
date. (Several other attempts at
ballot status in New York did not
succeed. The Pro-Choice Party, an
effort by a network of NOW-asso-
ciated activists, did not submit the
requisite number of petition sig-
natures. The Black-oriented Free-
dom Party, an effort inspired by
the Reverend Al Sharpton fell short
of signatures as well. But while
Freedom Ts ballot status bid failed,
it remains a force for independent
politics in the African American
community. And Reverend
Sharpton, together with his close
colleague the Reverend Jesse Jack-
son, have been putting forth the
idea of an independent orainbow �
party with some vigor.) The Pa-
triot Party of Alabama won the
party Ts first elected public official.
The Green Party also had a strong
year, picking up major party bal-
lot status in New Mexico and
Maine. Maine, of course, elected
an independent governor, Angus
King. All that said, it seems to me
that this is an opportune moment
for all independents "with all our
ideological and tactical differ-
ences "to sit down and discuss our
respective prospects and review
the possibilities for joint strate-
gies up to and including fielding a
single presidential candidate in
1996. Right now the Republicans
are assessing their victory. But
there are substantial internal di-
visions within that party that
must, and will, be overcome in the
interests of a unified bid to defeat
a vulnerable Bill Clinton in 1996.
On their part, the Democrats are

Party
furiously debating how to inter-
pret the message of November 8 "
whether to move right, left, or just
stay where they are and promote
themselves more effectively. Com-
peting elements from Jesse Jack-
son to Al From (of the Democratic
Leadership Council) are trying to
assert ideological and political
leadership in a party that is in
serious "some would say termi-
nal "disarray.
The independents, taken as a
whole, are analogously situated.
We embrace diverse viewpoints,
constituencies and levels of orga-
nizational development. I think it
is fair to say that whichever of
these three forces consolidates it-
self and sets its course most swiftly,
(and most in sync with the anti-
two party sentiment growing
among the American people "here
we have the advantage), will win
_ the White House in 1996. Nothing
less is at stake.
oI fully support these communi-
ties and look forward to the contin-
ued growth of this area, � said
Clayton. oThe experience and
knowledge gained throughout the
application process is invaluable
and placed all of the communities
in a position of advantage for fu-

RALEIGH " Gov. Jim Hunt
, today named N.C. Supreme Court
Associate Justice Burley B.
Mitchell Jr. as Chief Justice of the
Court, replacing retiring Chief
Justice James G. Exum Jr.
Mitchell will be sworn in on
January 3, 1995 in the Supreme
Court Chamber.
Mitchell, 53, was appointed by
Hunt to the Supreme Court in
1982, elected in 1982, and was re-
elected in 1984 and 1992. His ca-
reer in public service spans 20
years, including a five-year stint
as Wake County Ts district attor-
ney, a seat on the N.C. Court of
Appeals and three years as Sec. of
the N.C. Dept. of Crime Control
and PublicSafety, where he spear-
headed the Community Watch
program and strengthened the
National Guard.
Hunt praised Mitchell Ts efforts
" as a prosecutor, judge and Cabi-
net secretary " to fight crime.
oHis background as a tough pros-
Secretary
ecutor, an innovative leader of the
Dept. of Crime Control and Public
Safety, and a tough but fair Court
of Appeals judge and Supreme
Court justice will make him an
outstanding Chief Justice, � Hunt
said. oHe has strong roots in Ra-
leigh, a strong record of public
service and a strong commitment
to making life better for the citi-
zens of this state. �

rapid spread of the insect. The
European strain of the moth, whose
females are flightless, is already
established in the Northeast
United States and sections of
northeastern North Carolina.
The proposed N.C. spray areas
are:
* About 640 acres (one square
mile) near Holden Beach in
Brunswick County. One male moth
was trapped at this location. The
moth contained two genetic mark-
ers strongly indicating an Asian
gypsy moth heritage.
* Approximately 640 acres near
Shallotte. Two male moths were
trapped in this area during the
1994 survey. These moths also con-
tained two markers indicative of
an Asian gypsy moth heritage.
* About 2,560 acres (four square
miles) along Half Hell Swamp. One
male moth, was trapped in this
swamp during the summer. The
moth contained two genetic mark-
ers inclicative of an Asian gypsy
moth heritage.
In South Carolina, experts plan
to treat about 2,500 acres. Sixty
male gypsy moths were trapped in
this area as part of the 1994 Asian
gypsy moth trapping program.
Genetic tests indicated a limited
Asian moth heritage, but scien-
tists maintain the presence of

threat to both North ~and South

The moths arrived in North

with a future.
oSchool-to-Work is based on the
notion of partnerships, � says U.S.
Secretary of Education Richard W.
Riley. oPartnerships involving
schools, businesses and labor, par-
ents and teachers, students and
employers, and states and the fed-

oWe're inviting states to look at
high school and what Ts available
immediately after graduation "
apprenticeships, community col-
leges, technical schools " and
bring it all together in one seam-

Secretary Robert Reich, whose
Department of Labor shares re-

school-to-work, says, oThe connec-

employers, labor, education, gov-
ernment and community organi-
zations; design challenging cur-
ricula; and support local planning
and development activities.
o When states have completed
their plans they can compete for
oimplementation � grants to help
set their plans in motion. Such
funds might be used to recruit and
provide assistance to employers in
providing work-based learning
opportunities for students, provide
training for teachers, employers,
workplace mentors and counsé-
lors; or work with localities to ré-
cruit and retain students.
In addition, local communities
can compete for opartnership �
grants to suppOn efforts to bring
together employers, publicsecond-
ary and postsecondary educational
institutions, labor organizations
and other local entities.
oUrban/rural opportunities �
grants are available to support
efforts in high poverty areas. Other
grants serve the special needs of
Native American youth. Riley said
various techniques offer great
promise in creating statewide sys-
tems to ease the transition from
school to work, including:
o Career academies - oschools
within schools � offering occupa-
tionally focused training to high
school juniors andseniorsinfields :
such as environmental technology,
~
¥
applied electrical science, horti- :
culture, sports education, business
education,-travel and~tourism,-
and engineering;
o Cooperative education part-
nerships - secondary and post-sec-
ondary school programs that pro-
vide students with school and work
experiences. Co-op participants are
émployed at a worksite related to
their field of study while enrolled
in school;
o Tech-prep education - a four-
year, planned sequence of study
for a technical field, requiring ~a
formal agreement between a se¢-
ondary and postsecondary school.
Beginning in the 11th grade, and
extending through two years of
postsecondary occupational edu-
cation or an apprenticeship pro-
gram of at least two years, partici-
pants complete the program with
a certificate or associate degree;
o Youth apprenticeship - com-
bines structured, paid work and
on-thejob training and mentoring
experiences with related classroom
instruction. Career awareness can
begin in the elementary grades
andcontinue through high school. | #
In addition to a high school di-
ploma and postsecondary certifi-
cate or degree, participants receive
a certificate of mastery of occupa-
tional skills;
o Adult education - one in six
high school diplomas is earned
through completion of Genera}
Equivalency Diploma (GED) re-
quirements and other alternative
diploma programs, such as the
External Diploma Program. These
alternative methods of completing
high school] may be used to enter a
School-to-Work system. ;
Upon graduation, school-to-work
students will have at least twe
credentials: a high school diploma
and a skills certificate tied to na;
tional skill standards as validated
by a National Skill Standards
Board. Theskills certificates, avail-
able for a broad range of occupa-
tions, will be accepted by industry
and recognized by employers na-
tionwide.
Recently, 13 CEOs representing
the nation Ts leading companies met
with President Clinton, Riley and
Reich at the White House to an-
nounce the creation of the School-
to-Work National Employer Lead-
ership Council (NELC) to promote
and encourage School-to-Work pro-
grams. The NELC is scheduled to
conduct its first meeting on Janu-
ary 11 in Florida.
NELC chairman and Ford Mo-
tor Co. chairman/CEO Alex
Trotman says, oThe members of
the NELC recognize that it is ab-
solutely imperative that the United
States has a workforce which is
fully capable of competing with
any other workforce " anywhere
in the world. There Ts no doubt in
my mind that our School-to-work
efforts will help achieve this. �
Reich agrees. oSchools can Tt do
this alone. Business, industry, la-
bor unions all have an interest in
making sure that today Ts young
people are ready for the high-wage,
high-skill jobs of the future. Schoo}-
to-work can keep our workforce
productive and America competi-
tive. o School-to-Work,is part of a
_ broader federal effort, Riley says,
to help states and communities
improve the quality of education.
oThe foundation is the Goals 2000:
Educate America Act, which also
provides support for state and lo-
cal planning, leading to serious
education reform. We know that
all children can learn and benefit
pink challenging academic stan-
oThis new federal, state and lo-
cal partnership offers an exciting
opportunity to improve American
education and redirect our efforts

Commerce adopted new measure-
ment procedures that attributed
exports to states according to the
ZIP code of the exporter, rath¢r
than to the state of origin recorded
on the Shipper Ts Export Declara-
tion. The Wachovia North Carb-
lina World Trade Index began us-
ing the new method of allocation
at that time. The agency has now
reversed its decision to discontinue
the oorigin of movement � measure-
ment basis formerly used for tb
Index. .
Because this method more
closely corresponds to employment
and similar economic activity in
the state, Wachovia has returnéd
to the oorigin of movement � bagis
for calculating the Index. °
The Index also is adjusted for
the under-counting of state exports
and imports. In some cases, YP-
porting forms submitted to the
Customs Bureau are improperly
completed, resulting in under-re-
porting of trade. The new export
and import figures contain adjust-
ments to compensate for this un-
der-reporting.

From: oLetters to the Editor � in
EBONY Magazine, July 1994 in
answer to the article, oTo Spank or
Not to Spank � in the April 1994
issue.
1. No matter how you look at it,
oSpanking is a physical assault of
a bigger person on a smaller one. �
Discipline means to teach, not pun-
ishment, should be the norm for
raising assertive, responsible and
self-confident children.
2. oSpanking, whipping orhitting
a child is nothing more than as-
serting your authority because you
are bigger than a child and have
more power than the child. If
spanking truly worked, adults
would spank each other in the
workplace, at colleges and in
church. To all spankers and child
hitters, you are nothing but bul-
lies. �
3. To punish a child instead of
spanking, use taking timeout or
taking away privileges. This is
better for the child emotionally
and metally, even for the parent.
Continue publishing articles like
this one, forit will help my genera-
tion raise a strong, more success-
ful generation of young African-
Americans.
4. The all-too-common picture of
spanking - a powerful Black figure
towering over ascreaming defense-
less child - must be removed from
the Black community, this so-
called tradition forms part of the
corrosive legacy left by the white.
slavemaster who used this prac-
tice in the extreme (whippings,.
beatings, lashings) to foster vio-
lence and inhibit love among our
people. That this sorry practice is
perpetuated in the family unit only
shows how deep remain the scars
of slavery. One of the best ways to
reduce this intolerable behavior is
to film or photograph the parents
in action and show them the pic-
ture. .
5. There is enough violence fac-
ing our youth coming from outside
elements; the home should be a
secure and positive place. There
are very effective ways of disci-
plining children other than strik-
ing them. A full-blown spanking
only teaches a child to be fright-
ened and resentful of his parents
and that striking another human
being is the only way to resolve
conflict.
Thank you EBONY, for this ar- ,
ticle and all others that inspire
and educate.
I realize that someone is quoting
the proverb: oSpare the rod and
spoil the child, � which means -
vg oChildren need physical punish-
ment in order to develop. �
Proverbs 13:24 says, oHe that
spareth his rod hateth his son; but
he that loveth him chasteneth him
bedtimes. �

Dear Friends,
The holidays are over and the
new year has begun. I hope that
everyone got what he or she wanted
for Christmas and that Santa was
good to all of you.
I would like to thank everyone
who tuned in to WOOW Radio Sta-
tion for oBeatrice Maye Ts Moments
of Community Reflections. � After
ten years with a perfect atten-
dance never tardy or late, a live-
show with the exception of three
tapings, I am taking a leave of
absence or resigning as of Sunday,
December 25, 1994.
I thank Jim Rouse, owner/man-
ager, for giving me the opportu-
nity to introduce myself to media
(radio and television). I especially
thank ~Lil Sam for being a most
gentlemanly gracious host, as well
as all of the other fine friends there
at WOOW who helped to make my
otalk show � a most enjoyable expe-
rience.
Continue to read my column in
the oM � Voice.
Have a blessed New Year!
Sa oBe greatful for the doors of op-
portunity - and for friends who oil
the hinges. �
Mrs. Beatrice Maye

To the editor:
What the New Year brings us
will depend a great deal on what
we bring to the New Year. 1995, an
unknown pathway lies before us.
We have never passed this way
before. But with our hand in the
Father Ts hand, we who know the
Lord must let him lead the way.
5 Let Ts resolve to combat these
evils: cults, gangs, rising crime
rates, drug abuse, unemployment,
~ya teenage pregnancy, school drop-
outs, child abuse,
intergenerational poverty and oth-
ers. On the other hand, here are
some responses to those evils: an-
gry outbursts, materialism, gos-
sip, pursuit of pleasure, shooting
and killing.
1994 is behind us - finished. Let
the New Year ring in truth, love
