Questions raised about survey of Blacks by NY hospital
Many find questions about chit'lings, card games racially offensive
By Herb Boyd
Special to the AmNews
When Oliva Woodhouse left the
State Office Building after her
annual mammogram a few weeks
ago, she was asked if she would
participate in a survey on breast
cancer.
oThey told me it was some sort of
cultural study but I was abit skep-
tical and declined,? Woodhouse told
the AmNews in a recent inter-
view. oAbout three weeks later I
received a letter from Sloan-
Kettering asking me again if I
would be willing to participate in
the survey. I looked over the
questionaire they sent me and I
was alarmed at some of the ques-
tions.?
There were 36 questions on the
survey and Woodhouse was asked
if she agreed ot disagreed with, for
example, oI believe that some
people know how to use voodoo,? oI
eat chitTlings once in awhile,? I
know how to play bid whist.?
oI wondered what these ques-
tions had to do with breast cancer.
Furthermore, they wanted me to
come to the hospital where they
would draw some blood, give me
20 dollars and a token. It sounded
like the old Tuskegee experiment
all over again,? Woodhouse said.
Alarmed by the questionaire, she
called Brenda Blackmon at UPN-
9. Last Monday evening a show
was produced on UPN-9 News
called oThe Survey,? which exam-
ined the ramifications of the con-
troversy.
oThe survey,? said Barbara
Nevins Taylor, the showTs pro-
ducer, along with Emily Backus of
the I-Team, owas not created by
Sloan-Kettering. It first appeared
in The Journal of Black Psycholo-
gists.?
Taylor spoke with at least one
author of the survey, which is offi-
cially entitled oThe African Ameri-
can Acculturation Beliefs and At-
titudes Survey,? who declined to
appear on the show, but did offer
these remarks.
oWe are thinking about revising
(the survey),? said Dr. Hope
Landrine of the Public Health
Foundation in Los Angeles, obe-
cause some find it upsetting.?
Appartently Sloan-Kettering
received permission to use the sur-
vey from the authors as a way of
charting the incidence of breast
cancer through certain cultural
practices and behavior.
Landrine blamed _ Sloan-
Kettering for failing to be more
sensitive in administering the
questionaire. oI think that Memo-
rial Sloan-Kettering could have
doneit more sensitively. We go out
of our way to avoid
negative...responses.?
One outraged response came
from Hazel Duke of the NAACP:
oIf stress would give me cancer,?
Local Baseball Stars Moving Up Fast
Melvin 'Tutu' Moye

ur. joins Roundtree
heading for the
pros, Kidah Sneed
will play for ECU
Three Greenville baseball stars
have catch the eyes of enough
baseball professional to be offered
chaces to play beyond high school.
Melvin ~TutuT Moye, Monte
Roundtree and Kidah Sneed will
be going to their own field of
dreams soon.
Since he was 3 years old, Ann
Roundtree knew what her son
wanted to do. MonteT Roundtree
realized a kidTs lifetime dream
and made his mother and father,
Marvin, very proud when he
signed a contract with the Cin-
cinnati Reds Baseball Club, end-
ing speculation on a decision be-
tween the professional life or more
preparation for it in the form of a

scholarship offer from East Caro-
lina University. Roundtree left
recently for Billings, Montana,
where he will spend the summer
pitching in the Pioneer League.
oThis is something heTs wanted
to do since he was 3", Ann
Roundtree said through a glow-
ing smile. oHis father and I are
very happy.? oHe was outdoors
all day (as a youngster), summer
or winter, with or without an-
other person with him. He was
playing all day. I felt like he was
born for it.?
oEver since Little League,?
Marvin Roundtree added, oI
knew heTd make it.?
The 19-year old left-hander
was a fourth-round selection by
the Reds, the 128th player taken
overall. He was the ]4th Rose
High School player coached by
Ronald Vincent to be drafted fol-
lowing high school orcollege, and
teammate Tutu Moye later be-
came the 15th. Terms of his
seven-year contract were not dis-
closed. Roundtree and his agent,
Ivan Schwartz, are still finaliz-
ing deals for equipment (shoes,
gloves, etc.)
oITm still sucking it all inT,
said the ace of the state champi-
ons RampantsT staff. oI canTt
believe it would all happen.? But
it is happening and happening
fast. HeTs never been to the land
of the Big Sky. oThe only thing I
knowitTs along way from home?...
but he hardly seemed over-
whelmed as he prepared for the
first step in his adult life. oItTs
time for me to step up and ma-
ture some?, Roundtree said, otake
responsibility?.
His parents have confidence he
will. They wonTt be making their
way to Billings until MonteT has
had time to settle in. Rest as-
sured, they'll be anxious to see
him pitch professionally. oITm
going to goin and take it one day
at a time,? Roundtree said. oDay
by day. ITm not looking at it a
week at a time, just each day as it
comes.?
Roundtree said the decision
between the Reds or ECU was
basically made for him. oIt wasnTt
that hard,? Roundtree said.
oWhat really made me decide was
when Coach (Gary) Overton left.
He was the one who recruited me
and thought highly of me.?

Tiger battles on and off the course
By Howie Evans
AmNews Sports Editor
Somewhere out there among all
those young people saying oITm
Tiger Woods,? the real Tiger Woods
is coolly trying to ojust win.? He
wants to win every tournament he
plays in. And that seems to irk an
awful lot of his golfing peers. This
week, Tiger is playing in the U.S.
Open at Bethesda, Md., the second
stop of the four major golfing cham-
pionships.
Tiger is one up after his record
shattering victory in the Masters
at Augusta this past April. Almost
immediately, an army of fools
around the nation began compar-
ing him to Jackie Robinson and
Arthur Ashe. How ridiculous!
Woods attempted to become he
first golfer in history to win he
Masters and U.S. Openin vhe same
year. Not Nicklaus, Arnie or the
legendary Ben Hogan were able to
accomplish that feat, But no one is
betting against Tiger becoming the
first.
He rolled into Bethesda on Mon-
day of this week for a practice
round at the Congressional Coun-
try Club, site of this 1997 tourna-
ment that began back in 1895 when
Horace Rawlins, shooting a 178,
was the first winner at the New-
port Golf Club in Rhode Island.
Last yearTs winner, Steve Jones,
returns to defend his champion-
ship, barely noticeable as oTiger
mania? continues to stalk every
tournament the 21 year-old Woods
plays in. In this 97th U.S. Open,
Woods will chase thelegends ofhis
sport, as he will in the British
Open andthe PGA Championship.
Nicklaus won the Open twice
during the T60s, again in the '70s
and for a fourth time in 1980, Ben
Hogan was also a four-time win-
ner, as was Bobby Jones. Willie
Anderson is the onlygolfer in his-
tory to win three consecu tive
Opens joiningNicklaus and Hogan
as four-time winners. Anderson
won his first in 1901, then won in
1904,1905 and 1906.
So before we begin putting Tiger
with the golfing greats in history,
letTs give him some time on the
tour. Longevity and success will
determine his eventual place in
history, though heTs already made
history as a collegian and as a pro,
Things are not all good on the
social front for Woods. ~He canTt
help but have this on his mind. A
strong young mind. With all the
pressure heTs facing from all sides,
Tiger has to be strong.
It seems as he churns along,
everyone has a beef with him.
Blacks, whites and Asians, not to
mention some American Indians,
all of whom have claimed a piece of
Woods. Blacks flat-out want him
to declare himself African-Ameri-
can. His mother is from Thailand,
so they want Tiger to be one of
them. :
See TIGER On Page 12
she asserted on the TV program,
oreading this, I would be stressed-
out and I would be diagnosed with
cancer tomorrow.?
Some of the questions resembled
those admistered two decades ago
by Adrian Dove who formulated
the Dove Counter-balance Intelli-
gence Exam or Dr. Robert Will-
iamsT oBitch Test,? both of which
poked fun at IQ tests and their
relativity. oHow long does it take
10 ponds of chitTlings to cook on a
low simmer??
Given the gravity of the situa-
tion, one wonders why Sloan-
Kettering did not consult any of
the local or regional psychologist
and psychiatrists such as Phyllis
Rose Harrison, Hugh Butts or
James Jones.
Dr. A.J. Franklin, a noted psy-
chologist who teaches at CCNY,
was concerned if there were an
understanding between the jour-
nal that originally published the
survey and Sloan-Kettering. oIf
this wasnTt worked out, therecould
be a copyright infringment,? he
said. oBeyond that, there is the
issue of the survey, which may be
partof Dr. LandrineTs accultuation
scale that is a series of questions
attempting to assess the extent to
which African-Americans are ac-
culturated or not. At issue here is
whether she has identified the fun-
damental items.?
Attempts to reach a spokeperson
at Sloan-Kettering were unsuc-

Julius Chambers to
deliver keynote
speech at annual
NAACP dinner
Civii Rights Attorney and North
Carolina Central University Chan-
cellor Julius Chamber will be the
guest speaker at the annual
NAACP banauet that will be held
Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m. in the
Rose High School cafeteria.
Born in 1936 and reared in a
small, rural community east of
Charlotte, JULIUS L. CHAM-
BERS learned about racial dis-
crimination growing up in North
Carolina. He graduated from high
school in May 1954, the very month
of the United States Supreme
CourtTs landmark ruling in Brown
v. Board of Education and entered
North Carolina Central Univer-
sity (then North Carolina College)
in the fall of that year.
In his senior year, Mr. Cham-
bers served as president of the
student body, graduating summa
cum laude with a degree in his-
tory. He then took a masterTs de-
gree in history at the University of
Michigan. In 1959, he was admit-
ted to the law school at the Univer-
sity of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill, which had just begun to ad-
mit African Americans under the
pressure of litigation. Mr. Cham-
bers was chosen editor-in-chief of
the law review, thus becoming the
first African-American to hold this
title at any historically white law
school in the South. Ranking first
in his class of 100 at graduation in
1962, he taught at Columbia Uni-
versity Law School while earning
a masters of law degree.
In 1863, Mr. Chambers was
the first intern in an exciting new
program of the NMCP Legal De-
fense and Education Fund, Inc
(LDF). This program provided
promising young African-Ameri-
can law graduates with 12 months
of training in civil rights litigation
and then sent them home where
they would commence law prac-
tice specializing in civil rights law
as oLDF cooperating attorneys.?
The LDF provided some initial
capital and a small monthly sti-
pend to keep these fledgling law
practices afloat in their infancy.
In June 1964, Mr. Cham-
bers opened his law practice in a
cold-water walkup on East Trade
Street in Charlotte. This one per-
son law practice eventually be-
came the first integrated law firm
in North Carolina history. In its
first decade, this law firm did more
to influence evolving federal civil
rights law than any other private
law practice in the United States.
Mr. Chambers and his founding
partners, James Ferguson and
Adam Stein, working with law-
yers of the LDF, successfully liti-
gated civil rights cases and helped
shape the contours of civil rights
law by winning landmark United
States Supreme Court rulings in
such cases as Swann v. Charlotte-
Mecklenburg Board of Education
(1971) (the famous school busing
decision) and Griqqs v. Duke Power
Co. (1971) and Albemarle Paper

Postive Steps Toward Keeping
Up Your Health
1. Avoid if possible the three
main destroyers - heart diease,
cancer and strokes.
2. Have annual medical checkup,
and keep in touch with a good
doctor.
3. Avoid hardening of the arter-
ies by good diet, and avoid raising
your blood pressure by over activ-
ity, over fatigue, over anxiety, and
towering rage.
4, Slacken your pace in preven-
tion of, and certainly after, a heart
attack.
_ 5. Avoid strokes by proper diet,
calm action, rest and relaxation,
elimination of violent emotional
or physical outbursts.
6. Cancer is controllable if de-
tected early, and a major cure may
be found at anytime. A check-up
each year is the best defense, plus
a visit to the doctor on any major
suspicion.
7. DonTt smoke or drink to ex-
cess. Give up either habit rather
than let it doom you.
8. Maintain a confident attitude
about health, but observe and re-
spect symptoms and conditions
that call for medical attention, and
slacken your pace of life.

burgh"control ofthe Commission
changed hands from Democrat to
Republican, reportedly based on a
strong turnout of black voters for
Republican candidates.
As a longtime activist/critic of
the multiple ways in which the
Democratic Party takes black votes
for granted, I was glad to see this
story told in the Pittsburgh Tri-
bune-Review. Black voters have
been the Democratic PartyTs most
loyal constituency, but we have
been shunted aside as the
:Clintonites have shamelessly and
, shrewdly played the orace card? by
reinforcing the notion that white
votersT interests conflict with those
of blacks and then trumpeting the
oNew Democrat? promise that
Black concerns no longer carry
weight in the party. All this while
presuming that we will continue
to vote Democrat because blacks
have nowhere else to go.
The Republicans, shrewd in their
own ways, recognize the growing
antagonism between black voters
and the Democratic Party, and
seek to put themselves forward as
the alternative. Insofar as black
leaders and voters are looking to
respond to the DemocratsT manipu-
lation of Black America"support
for Republican Party candidates
can be temporarily useful. How-
ever, I am concerned that we not
end up manipulated by the Repub-
lican Party as well, which has
played many orace cards? of its
own and which, in my opinion, is
not committed to addressing the
concerns of Black America. We
shouldnTt go from being taken from
granted to being taken for a ride.

Fear of gangs, not racism,
gets kids barred from cruise
Logandale Middle School (Chicago) Prin-
cipal Luis Molina denied Hispanic and
Black students to share a graduation cruise
because he feared there might be gang vio-
lence.
Molina, who was criticized for his ac-
tions, said this week he acted in good faith
when he had the Spirit of Chicago cruise
ship leave without 41 students. Two
schools had booked Lake Michigan cruises
to celebrate 8th-grade graduation, but only
one schoolTs students - Logandale which is
- predominantly African-American, boarded
the ship. The other students are predomi-
nantly Hispanic. Spirit of Chicago spokes-
woman Janet Treuhalt defended MolinaTs
decision. oWe want the kids to have a safe
and quality experience, and what do you
do when (Molina) is acting that irrational-
ly,? she said.
f ABUSE
Abused, beaten, wife wouldn't
testify against her husband
Now sheTs dead
along with her two
sons. They were
bloogeoned by their
husband and father
with a hatchet and
knife in New York
this week.
~ And there were
signs before the trag-
ic incident that Anita
Stewart Timmons ap-
parently ignored. In
earlier incidents, she
had her eye frac-
tured, was threatened
with a knife, was
pushed out of a window, yet Timmons re-
fused to testify against her husband,
Richard Lyle Timmons. When police ar-
rived at the familyTs apartment in Queens,
they found a bloody scene and the bodies
of Mrs. Timmons, the coupleTs 7-year-old
son, Aaron, and 13-year-old Sharron. Mrs.
Timmons had been decapitated. Police also
discovered that Timmons had tried to take
his own life by slitting his wrists. He was
sent top New York University Medical
Center for treatment.
Lawyer hopes ex-Black
Panther leader will go free
Timmons
There is a good chance former Black
Panther leader, recently released from
prison serving a life sentence for a murder
prosecutors now admit do may not have
committed, will remain free.
Elmer oGeronimo? Pratt was convicted
of murder in 1972. PrattTs freedom
hinges on case doubts that led to an over-
ruling of the conviction on appeal. And
the district attorneyTs office has promised
not to fight PrattTs release on oreasonable
bail.? PrattTs lawyer for years has
claimed that the ex-Panther was innocent
of the crime and was being held as a po-
litical prisoner. oItTs satisfying to know
that weTre writing the end of this story,?
said attorney Stuart Hanson. oThe last
chapter is our chapter. They (authorities
have had 23 years to write it, and they
wrote it wrong.?
Blood drive grows for
Malcom XTs wife
Jacobi Medical
Center in the Bronx
(New York) has been
overflowing with po-
tential blood donars
who want to keep
the wife of Malcom
X alive.
oAs little as it is,
giving blood is
something that I can
do,? said Maria Col-
lado, one of the
hopeful donars. oI
believe in what Mal-
com X believed in.? Wife, Betty Shabazz,
61, remains in critical condition at Jacobi,
more than a week after she was severely
burned in a fire police say was set by her
12-year-old grandson. By TSD presstime,
about 90 pints of blood had been donated
and many more people stood in line to give.
oThe only thing I can do for her is give
my blood, so thatTs what ITm doing,? said,

Resolution offered on PC
bospital; and
Non-profit group asks
Pitt Commissioners to
maintain ability to
revoke contract that will
change hospital
The Carolina Health Group, Inc., a
nonprofit community organization of
medical professionals, including physi-
cians, health educators and others, along
with other interested citizens of Pitt
County, presented a Resolution recently
to the Pitt County Board of Commission-
ers concerning the proposed change in
the corporate structure of Pitt County
Memorial Hospital.
The Resolution, presented by Dr. An-
drew A. Best, a practicing physician for
43 years, recognizes the importance of
PCMH remaining financially strong and
competitive. It requests, however, that
the contract transferring ownership con-
tain provisions addressing the concerns
of Pitt County citizens which were ex-
pressed in several community meetings.
Those concerns are that the hospital
continue its mission to make its services
available to the uninsured, the
underinsured and the poor; that fair
employment practices as it relates to
hiring, promotion, retention and treat-
ment of minority employees are guaran-
teed; and that minority vendors are able
to participate in a fair and equitable
bidding process.
The Resolution requests that the con-
tract recognize concerns about the re-
turn on investment the county and its
citizens have in the existing facilities,
and assure that minority business own-
ers and professionals are involved in
promotion and marketing efforts.
It also requests that the Pitt County
Commissioners indefinitely retain the
right to revoke the contract, recommends
that a model contract be drafted so that
Pitt County citizens be given the oppor-
tunity to comment on its provisions, and
that a citizensT oversight committee be
formed to monitor compliance.
oPitt County citizens just want to be a
participating partner in the process of
change in the hospital,? stated Dr. Best
in ohne statement.
Iam Dr. Andrew A. Best, a practicing
physician in Pitt County, and Eastern
North Carolina for forty three years,
five months and sixteen days!
Indeed, it is a rare privilege for me to
stand before you this morning as the
spokesperson for the Carolina Health
Group, Inc, as well as a group of Inde-
pendent Interested Citizens. Our pur-
pose is to present to you a document
which summarizes our concerns as we
move our health care system to the 21st
century. We hope that you will accept us
as participating partners in your efforts
to make Pitt County a better place to
live.
Our thanks go out to Commissioner
Moore, Commissioner Savage, and
the entire board for providing us the
opportunity to share our observations
and concerns relative to a change in the
corporate structure of Pitt Count Me-
morial Hospital.
Itis in the oPartnership spirit that we
submit the following
oResolution? for yourinformation, con-
sideration, and guidance as we move
toward a decision on this oweighty?
matter which lies before you.
RESOLUTION OF RECONCILIATION

County Memorial Hospital (PCMH)
Board of Trustees and members of East
Carolina University Board of Trustees
have resolved that PCMH reorganize
its corporate structure in accordance
with NCGS 131-E8; and
WHEREAS, the PCMH Board of
Trustees have publicly stated that con-
cerns expressed by the public be re-
solved by inserting provisions in a con-
tract to facilitate the reorganization of
PCMH under NCGS 131 -E8; and
WHEREAS, numerous citizens have
expressed concerns about the loss of
jobs by Pitt County residents, especially
loss of jobs such as housekeeping, main-
tenance workers and common laborers;
and
WHEREAS, many Pitt County resi-
dents are genuinely concerned about
fair employment practice as it relates to
hiring, promotion, retention and treat-
ment of minority employees in a private
, many Pitt County tax-

facilities; and
WHEREAS, public concern has been
expressed over the continuation of the
hospitalTs mission as it relates to access
to quality care for the uninsured, the
underinsured and poor; and
WHEREAS, many Pitt County resi-
dents are concerned that minority ven-
dors are able to participate in a fair and
equitable bidding process and that mi-
nority business owners and profession-

keting efforts; and
WHEREAS, Pitt County residents
have sought assurances that a private
non-profit (PCMH) corporation will be
committed tooutreach activities, includ-
ing but not limited to, links with public
health agencies, education initiatives,
and other non-profit organizations; and
WHEREAS, Pitt County residents
recognize the importance of PCMH re-
maining a financially strong healthcare

Check writers have new protections
Until last week, the North Wilkesboro,
N.C.-based LoweTs Home Improvement
Centers were like all other retailers,
large and small, when it came to the
practice of recording the race and gen-
der of customers on their checks.
This practice has long been required
of retailers by county magistrates, sup-
posedly making it easier to identify
people who pass bad checks. But, many
people" those with no record or intent
to pass a bad check"reasoned that the
ordinance had the same discriminating
effect as segregated lunch counters and
drinking fountains.
Last year oLoweTs took a real beat-
ing,? according to Don Williams, LoweTs
director of diversity programs. The
Chronicle"and then papers statewide"
ran a story about Evon Crooks, a black
man, who found the practice oinsult-
ing.? After protesting in writing to the
company and returning his LoweTs
charge card, Crooks, a senior research
chemist at Winston Salem-based R.J.
Reynolds Tobacco Company, sent an E-
mail message asking fellow employees
to return their LoweTs charge cards.
Simultaneously, Oxford initiated an
intense lobbying campaign to change
the law through his companyTs trade
group, the North Carolina Retail Mer-
chants Association "by way of its presi-
dent, Fran Preston. State Rep. Henry
M. oMickey? Michaux, D-Durham, 23rd
District, sponsored HR Bill 790 in the
North Carolina General Assembly.
Last week, LoweTs commitment to
work for the change paid off when Gov.
Jim Hunt signed into law HR Bill790,
which buries the longstanding practice.
According to the new law, oonly the
name and mailing address of the check
passer ... and an acceptable form of
identification ... such as a valid North
Carolina driverslicense, will be needed.?
oThe check acceptor,? under the provi-
sions of the bill, oshall not be required to
write or print the race or gender of the
check passer on the check or draft.?
However, individual retailers may
still choose to identify customers by race
and gender notations on checks. Mu-
nicipalities, beginning Oct. 1, 1997" |
when HR 790 becomes effective"will
be forbidden to require this practice of
retailers.

advice. - N.C., Clarendon
Dear N.C.,
The only thing I could sug-
gest to you is that you should
go to a doctor and have him or
her look at your breasts and
advise you. Many women love
large breasts. They say large
breasts make them look sexy.
Many women have paid big
bucks in North America to en-
large their breasts. What I am
under standing from you is that
yours are extremely large and
they make you feel uncomfort-
ble.
I know that a plastic sur-
geon can help you, but it will
cost you lots of money. I rather
doubt that you can afford that
now and I donTt believe it is
wise to do plastic surgery at
this time. But the doctor is the
best person to advice you.
In the meantime, wear
ts annoying to reader, asks for help
annoy mea lot.
Most of my blouses canTt fit me
re because of my breasts. I
pray night and day that they might
good and sturdy brassieres
that will help the breasts to be
kept firm and you will not feel
that they are weighing you
down. God bless you. Many
women have the same prob-
lem, so donTt think you are
alone.
- Pastor
How do you
find out when
baby is due?
Q. Doctor, ifa girl gets pregnant,
how can she know when her baby
is due? I would like to know when
my baby will be born
I had sex with a guy whom I
met in Montego Bay. Then I had
my menses A week or two later, I
met this really handsome guy from
Kingston I did not mean to have
sex with him, but he persuaded me
that it would
Well, now I find that I am
pregnant And I do not understand
how I can work out the date when
the baby will be born
A. Well, it is not difficult to
work out the approximate date
when any baby will be born.
i , ¥)
Hn} (it)
:
|
i
The important thing is to know
the date of the first day of your
last menses.
To this, you must add nine
months and one week. It
sounds to me like you had your
menses after you had sex with
the man you met in MoBay. So
I am assuming that you be-
came pregnant when you had
finished your menses " and
then- went to bed with the ~real
handsome guyT from Kingston.
So, what you must do is this.
Simply try to remember
the date of the first day of that
last menses. Then add nine
months and one week to it.
That will give you the most
likely day on which the baby
will be born.
I must admit that the deliv-
ery dates for babies vary. So
the date you work out is not on
exact one. But, unless the baby
is born prematurely, it should

Difficulties often occur be-
cause a woman is not sure
whether she has had a ~realT
menses, or whether it was just
some kind of irregular bleed-
ing. But you must let your doc-
tor or midwife guide you on
this one. Good luck!
Black ~motionsT
Q. Whenever I go out, the
motions are black
Why?
A. This means you are bleed-
ing inside. See a doctor tomor-
row for tests. I would like all
readers to be aware of this
warning symptom. Except un-
derspecial circumstances-like
when you have been taking
iron pills - black motions must
be reported to a doctor
Pain in belly
Q. I keep getting pain at the top
of my belly
A. The likely cause is an ul-
cer. See a doctor and get this
pain checked out.
Sex after
menopause
Q. I am a woman of 49, and I
have had menopause Is it OK for
me to have sex, doctor?
A. Yes, of course. Many
womenare at their sexual peak
after the menopause. You may,
however, need to buy a tube of
an intimate lubricant from a
pharmacy. This is because the
vagina often becomes a little
dry in the late 40s and 50s.
Coughing up blood
Q. My little boy coughed up blood
last night Why?
A. I cannot tell you. But any
child or adult who coughs up
blood must hove his chest
sounded by a doctor within 24
hours. The child probably
needs to take a chest x-ray as
well.

and aligning with the Reform
Party. The Reform Party stands
for the proposition that all Ameri-
cans"black and white"have been
tragically manipulated by both
parties. The two parties and the
government they control have
disempowered the voters and now

people.

that the political culture of racial
manipulation must be replaced

will pave the way for a democra-

America.
Running away
yams a no-no
When Evert Boswell, a 32-year-
old labourer, appeared in the Mile
Gully Resident MagistrateTs Court
for the third time last Monday,
little did he know it would be the
end of the line for him in his bid to
prove the ownership of a bag of
yams which had been found In his
possession.
Boswell, who was facing an
unlawful possession of goods
icharge, was arrested in April when
he was spotted in Mile Gully at
2:00 a.m. one morning, carrying @
bag which he dropped and ran
when he saw a police patrol.
The police gave chase and
caught him and upon investiga-
tion it was discovered that the bag
contained freshly reaped yams.
When Boswell first appeared in
court, he said a lady gave him the
bag of yams, at which time he was
instructed by the presiding judge
to bring the lady to court at the
next sitting.
However, Boswell turned up
without the lady and told the court
the lady was not feeling well, so
she could not come,
Another date was set for last
week Monday, at which Boswell
again appeared without his wit-
ness. He proceeded to tell the court
the lady ois gone to foreign? and he
did not know when she would re-
turn .He was convicted and sen-
tenced to nine month hard labour

We believe community
banking starts with
investing in the
spirit of a community.
At First Citizens Bank, we
know that communities aren't
just made up of bricks and
mortar. A thriving community is
founded on people who believe
in themselves and each other.
That kind of belief isn't
something we're born with. We
learn it from loving people who
care about who we are and what
we will become. The kind of
people you find in your local
house of worship.
We're a leader when it
comes to making loans to these
important institutions. And we
make ourselves available to
assist with their building
expansion needs.
We believe that investing in
the spirit of our communities is
good business.

out for school choice
Alveda Celeste King, the niece
of Martin Luther King Jr. urged
President Clinton tosupport school
choice as a means to promote ra-
cial reconciliation. In a USA TO-
DAY piece yesterday. Ms. King
was quoted as saying oSchool
choice is the civil rights battle of
the 90Ts The public in most major
cities are already segregated and
the children are doomed to a failed
system giving poor children the
means to attend the public and
private schools of theirchoice could
have the double impact of boosting
student achievement and improv-
ing race relations.? King, 46, is
president of King for America, Inc.,
in Atlanta.
Vernon Robinson, President of
the North Carolina Education Re-
form Foundation, welcomed Ms
KingTs pointed remarks. oMs. King
has joined other African-Ameri-
can leaders of conscience such as
Colin Powell, Rep Floyd Flake (D-
NY), Charles Barkley, and Will-
iam Raspberry, who have spoken
out against the injustice of failing
government monopoly schools and
support school choice. Leaders
across the country, are called on to
choose between supporting chil-
dren, especially black boys, their
parents and school choice or sup-
porting the teacherTs union, politi-
cal hacks and the disastrous sta-

Tiger
Continued From Page 1
So in a feeble attempt to satisfy
everyone, Tiger declared himselfa
Cablinasian. No such word in
Websters. A major error. oITm just
21. I've made some stupid mis-
takes,? says Tiger. Calvin Peete,
whoTs won 10 tournaments in 18
years, said, oTrying to satisfy ev-
eryone, Tiger has not even satis-
fied himself.? So many people see
themselves in Tiger, itTs almost
pathetic. Blacks see the color of his
skin. Asians say oLook into eyes.
HeTs Asian.? Too many Blacks look
at his lips is all you need to know.
But Woods to the majority of
white folks is Black. And all you
have to do is check the racist at-
tempts at humor. Fuzzy Zoeller
comes quickly to mind.
Because of the wars that forced
Americans of all colors into the
armed services, this nation is a
little bit of everything, ethic-wise.
World War II saw German, Japa-
nese, English, French and Italian
women carrying brown babies.
The warin Korea matched Black
soldiers with Korean women and
their strikingly beautiful offspring.
The war in Vietnam led to TigerTs
birth as a result of his dad marry-
ing a Thai women. African-Ameri-
cans have longlost their pure blood
line. Lost it in slavery. So what
does it matter what Tiger Woods
I? HeTs an American. Black, yel-
low, whatever.
One thing we know. HeTs a mag-
nificent golfer with a great future.
Whether that potential greatness
will be realized may well be deter-
mined by what comes and goes
into his head. As it looks now, with
Woods chasing greatness, his head
seems pretty clear as his battles
continue on and off the golf course.
This is one Woods with the heart of
a Tiger.
