Pictorial Highlights From The African American Fest
Gate City
Offers Key
To Cash
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Does owning your own home, be-
ing debt-free and having oCash in
your Pocket? seem like an impos-
sible dream?
Gate City Financial Mortgage,
Inc.. is helping families all over
North Carolina live their dreams
with loans and education. They
also have new cash building em-
ployment opportunities. Now in
their eighth year of operation in
Fayetteville, Gate City has grown
to three locations in North Caro-
lina--theyTre working on a fourth.
According to Texas native, Lon-
nie Coulter, the companyTs CEO,
founder and president (now a Fay-
etteville resident), Gate City is the
fastest growing minority banking
organization in the state. Coulter
joined the Fayetteville Community
in 1982 after serving in the US
Army at Fort Bragg, N.C. in the
legal profession. Coulter has been a
very successful entrepreneur in the
Fayetteville area since 1984
oThough it takes planning, focus
and education, financial indepen-
dence is not as hard to achieve as
some make it seem,? says Coulter.
oWe are not just her for the home-
owners, we are her to help non-
homeowners obtain a home.
Coulter feels that everyone
should own a home. He says, oYour
home is your most precious com-
modity.? He continued, oWe teach
people how to utilize this commod-
ity correctly by realizing the value
of equity in their home, and teach
them to use their home as their
bank.?
Coulter said Gate City Financial
Mortgage is your equity lender;
they take the equity in your home
and give it to you in cash. For that
reason, Gate City is widely known
as, othe cash in YOUR pocket com-
pany.
Gate CityTs Quest: A Commu-
nity of Home Owners & Finan-
cially Independent Families
Financial Freedom...A Dream
that is coming true for many home
owners in as little as 90 days, says
Coulter. It is time for the average
hardworking American to enjoy the
freedom that they so richly de-
serve. If you are not a homeowner,
Gate City affords you an opportu-
nity to become financiaily free as
well. It will take a little time, but
you can do it, says Clouter.
He realizes wheh people find
themselves in a financial bind;
many of them donTt have homes to
mortgage. Furthermore, when they
want to buy a home, they just donTt
have the money to put down. oEven
when we find homes for people
with no money down (which we do),
we find that many people in our
community donTt even have the
cash for closing costs.?
Because of that, CoulterTs com-
pany does something unique in the
equity lending industry. In an ef-
fort to help those who donTt own a
home achieve financial indepen-
dence, Gate City offers an opportu-
nity for you to earn the down pay-
ment and closing costs. Non-home
owners are able to work part-time
and bank two or 3 thousand dollars
in a few months.
oThe part-time opportunity here
at Gate City came out of a need in
our community. We want people to
buy homes,? says Coulter. oWe are
helping them buy homes and put-
ting oCash in their Pocket? through

this part-time opportunity makes
us feel good. We have been offering
this part-time opportunity since we
have been in existence.? He contin-
ued, o...but for the past 60 days we
have been educating people about
the great rewards of this opportu-
nity.?
oWe know that our community
members are our greatest re-
source,? says Coulter. oWe allow
people in their leisure time, to talk
to friends and family members, ca-
sual conversations about what
Gate City can do for them. They

Gate City: an education institu-
tion, not just a mortgage
environment
Everything they do at Gate City
is goal oriented, and centered
around touching as many people as
possible by giving them an oppor-
tunity to achieve financial indepen-
dence--through specialized counsel-
ing, professional guidance, and pre-
pare education.
Gate City offers educational and
consultation programs by giving
advice about investments. Accord-
ing to Coulter, mutual finds are a
very good investment, and with
over 15 years of experience as an
investment portfolio specialist on
Wall Street, he is a person you can
trust.
oNot only do we put cash in your
pocket here at Gate City, but we
have the ability to make the cash
work for you!? Coulter continued,
oMany people consolidate their
bills, and once they get cash in
their pocket, they donTt know how
to invest that money properly, and
within a year, they are in debt
again! It is our quest to break this
cycle of poverty.?

WHO HAS CLASS?
Class never runs scared. It is
sure-footed and confident, and it "
can handle whatever comes along.
Class has a sense of humor. It "
knows that a good laugh is the best
lubricant for oiling the machinery
of human relations.
Class never makes excuses. It
takes its lumps and learns from
past mistakes.
Class knows that good manners
are nothing more than a series of
small sacrifices and minor inconve-
niences.
Class bespeaks an aristocracy
unrelated to ancestors of money.
Some extremely wealthy people
have no class at all, while others
who are struggling to make ends
meet are loaded with it.
Class is real. You canTt fake it.
Class is comfortable in its own
skin. It never puts on airs.
Class never tries to build itself
up by tearing others down. Class is
already up and need not attempt to
look better by making others look
worse.
Class can owalk with kings and
keep its virtue and talk with
crowds and keep the common
touch?. Everyone is comfortable
with the person who has class be-
cause he is comfortable with him-
self. ;
If you have class, you've got it
made. If you donTt have class, no
matter what else you have, it wonTt
make up for it.

GETTING THE BEST OUT
OF EVERYONE
As head coach, itTs my job to put
people in an environment that al-
lows them to be the best that they
can be. The way to go about that--
on and off the field"is:
1. Give them responsibility. Give
your people the feeling that if they
donTt do the job, it wonTt get done.
Also, left them know that when
they accomplish something, they
will share in the accolades.
2. Let them know you care. Have
enough involvement with your
people so they know that you are
interested in each of them indi-
vidually and that you are support-
ive and loyal.
3. Guide them to make good deci-
sions. Give people enough guidance
to make the decisions you want
them to make. DonTt tell them
what to do, but encourage them to
do what is best. (Coach Johnson)

Lonnie Coulter feels if his repre-
sentatives donTt teach their clients
about money they have not com-
pleted their job. He points out,
oMany people donTt know after 12
months of faithful payments with a
mortgage company, they can apply
for a lower interest rate.?
Coulter credits his companyTs
work ethic for the phenomenal suc-
cess Gate City has achieved. He
says, owe do over 3 millicn dollars
in business per month, and in the
mortgage business thatTs great, but
what is even greater in my opinion
is that we have the ability to fulfill
the communityTs need to grow fi-
nancially.? He continued, oWe edu-
cate people to understand their
rights in this industry. We are an
educational service. We let people
know what is going on out her in
the financial world. At the heart of
Gate City is the ability to under-
stand people.?
The skillfully trained staff at
Gate City provides financial coun-
seling to fit every clientTs income
level as well as needs. Lonnie
Coulter believes politics is fine but
when all the politics die down, he
wants to know whoTs really done
anything to change the financial
situation of our entire community?
Who is really making a difference,
and not just politicking?
oOur business is about helping
people achieve their goals. I want
people to say about my company,
Gate City Financial, really made a
difference, they didnTt just talk
about making a difference.?
Coulter went on, oWe are frus-
trated with people talking a good
game. We want to see people actu-
ally doing something, creating a
real opportunity for us all to grow
financially.?
The experts at Gate City actually
go the extra mile to insure their
clientTs satisfaction to make sure
their needs are met. Coulter knows
that servicing your clients is essen-
tial, and when thatTs happening,
the company is fulfilling its pur-
pose,
oMoney is power in todayTs
world, and we are in the business
of empowering our people through
educating them about finances. We
are going to do something for
people, or we are not going to do
anything at all,? says Coulter.
Gate City has been serving this
community for a long time, and
they have the kind of reputation
that makes Lonnie Coulter proud.

College To Begin Cisco Networking § *
Saint AugustineTs College has
announced that it will implement
the Cisco Networking Academy
curriculum.
The partnership with Cisco Sys-
tems, Inc., the leading global sup-
plier of internetworking solutions
for education, corporate intranets
and the global Internet, will ad-
dress the demand for network ad-
ministrators nationwide by offering
a certificate program to students
Veterans Post
that prepares them to assume net-
work administrative roles.
Michael Naylor, interim chair-
man for the Division of Business at
St. AugustineTs, says this relation-
ship will strengthen the collegeTs
ties with industry and promote the
continued development of educa-
tional partnerships.
oAs a private, historically black
institution, we welcome the level of
support Cisco has given us and the
greater exposure of our students to
technology advancements,? Naylor
said. -
As a regional academy, St.
AugustineTs will have direct re-
sponsibility for and link to Cisco
Systems for the complete adminis-
tration of the Network Academy
program. The college will fully
prepare sites that will become local
academies addressing legal issues,
school board requirements and
Cisco requirements.
It will also provide mentors and
serve as the conduit for informa-
tion flow between local academies
and Cisco Systems. Local acad-
emies operate under the guidance
of the regional academy, providing
trained instructors that will deliver
and facilitate the F Ncowestiie
Academy curriculum to an identi-
fied program. Additionally, it will
remain current with the technology
and provide operational and work-
ing lab facilities for students.
Dr. Lal Shimpi will serve as the
regional academy coordinator for
the college. As the head of the
Computer Science Department at
St. AugustineTs, Shimpi said he
wants to ensure that when future
students graduate from his depart-
ment, they are well qualified to
meet the demands of a technologi-
cally oriented job.

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.
Where Will The Welfare Initiatives
Lead?
As various states, this one in-
cluded, begin their various welfare
initiatives, which are designed to get
people off the welfare rolls and onto
the job rolls, there is one question
that keeps coming up.
How can a former welfare recipi-
ent support a family on a minimum-
wage job?
That is, assuming that the indi-
vidual can get the skills, transporta-
tion, child care, etc., to be ab le to get
the job to begin with.
Putting former welfare recipients
to work has to be done on a case-by-
case basis. Each individualTs circum-
stance is different, and in some cases
prohibitive of total exclusion from
the welfare rolls.
Some form of aid must still exist to
subsidize the individualTs family to
ensure a step up into self-sufficiency
instead of a step sideways that could
lead to early-on confrontation with
othe law.?
The ocost of living? aspect of life in
the T90s is an ongoing challenge, even
for working people.
The ohow-to? aspect from indi-
vidual circumstance to individual cir-
cumstance must be considered to
ensure progress without welfare
that does not penalize the children
that may live in a household, as well
as the adults.
If these proposed welfare-reducing
plans cut so deeply into the house-
hold budget as to take from the
clothing or food input per month, it
will have a direct and immediate ef-
fect on a childTs performance, and po-
tential of even staying in school.
If that step-up is any way dimin-
ished, there is little chance that that
youngster will find himself in any
better shape to get a job and support
himself than his parents before him.
The ultra-conservatives who
started the welfare oreform?
steamroller in the first place didnTt
even deal with this aspect of the
problem.
They assumed dogmatically that
there were enough jobs to go around
for anyone who oreally wanted? to
work, and enough money to make
ends meet for people who were sim-
ply willing to learn thrift.
They hadnTt had to actually try
running a family on a poor manTs
wages anytime recently, but they
oknew? it must be that way.
And for those who might dare to
complain that they couldnTt feed
their children on those wages, there
was a sinister implied threat.
If the parents couldnTt support
them, there could be a return to gov-
ernment-run orphanages, they said.
Of course, that is not the answer.
Very few of even the Bill Bennett
type conservatives are willing to say
that publicly any more.
The gradual process of getting
people off welfare rolls must have a
realistic application so that it will not
create even greater problems.
Social workers must be active in
their dealings in this changeover to
ensure that it is a complete, and as
much as possible, total transition to a
household entity that not only has
enough income, but enough informa-
tion about the day-to-day function of
income and expense to allow the
household to grow beyond depen-
dency.
Where the welfare initiatives will
lead depends largely on what kind of
interaction occurs between social
worker and welfare recipient.
Whether or not the welfare recipi-
ent can get everything he needs,
over a period of time, to make the
transition a lasting and stable one, is
the most crucial question.
The Global Trade Alternative
Most African-American business-
people come to a point in their busi-
nesses where they begin to look at
ways and means of expanding their
market for particular goods or ser-
vices which they market to the pub-
lic.
The World Trade Center in
Raleigh stood up and shouted re-
cently, oGo Global!? Look at the po-
tential of marketing your goods and/
or services in the international mar-
ketplace.
True enough, given todayTs tech-
nologies, the world is a smaller place.
Developing an arm of oneTs business
to explore that possibility is no
longer a oshot in the dark.?
There are resource people here in
the Triangle who can give you a look
into what your companyTs future
could be in international trade.
The interest is great enough to
motivate the WTC to hold a meeting
in their Raleigh offices, inviting indi-
viduals from area universities, busi-
ness people with expertise in inter-
national trade, some area minority
businessmen, and yes, the bankers
were there from two major financial
institutions in the state.
The seasion sought to find ways and
means to get increased participation
from the minority business commu-
nity in the international trade arena.
One point during the discussion
that we thought was well-taken was
that made by Lewis Myers of the
N.C, Institute of Minority Economic
ee tat Oe tha
opportunity was e for mi-
nority firm already in business, and
possessing a track record of perat-
ing consistently oin the black.?
Another gentleman joined in that
discussion and added that it was key
that minority initiatives into interna-
tional markets needed significant
banking support to be profitable.
Even in the face of these stum-
bling blocks, there seemed to be an
undercurrent of agreement among
those present that given the right
oplayers,? minority firms could de-
velop profitable business relation-
ships on an international scale.
Key areas of business that would
be conducive to international trade
seemed to be the areas of services,
manufacturing, and wholesaling, al-
though it was quickly pointed out
that opportunities are not limited to
these areas.
B lack firms in particular may find
burgeoning opportunities and a
chance for reciprocity in the mother-
land"Africa.
With changes that have been tak-
ing place politically over the past de-
cade, old business alliances are being
reshaped and African countries are
looking for ways to make a better
deal for themselves,
They also need technological and
business knowhow, as they try to
bring themselves up to speed as
players on the international scene.
What better chance for aspiring
African-American firms who want a
piece of the international action than
to ohelp a brother out,? as the saying
goes on the streets here?
Ventures have already made ten-
tative contact with several countries
in Africa, and a great deal of enthusi-
asm has been expressed for doing
business with their long-lost broth-
ers in the diaspora,

o
Day Of Atonement
Should Be Everyday
BY TREY BANKHEAD
é f Pe a
You've probably heard about it already. Thursday, Oct.
16th is the national oDay of Atonement? for African-Ameri-
can men. This is the day we are to reflect on our lives, and
think long and hard on not only where we've ben, and what
we've done, but also where we are going.
I hate the whole idea.
Well, thatTs not quite true. I loved the concept of the
original oMillion Man March,? even though most of the press
tried to downplay its significance to our culture, and other
groups tried to sabotage it. And this year, on the two-year
anniversary of that historic event, instead of a million men
voyaging to one spot, there will be many spots in the United
States where men will gather.
The part that I hate? I hate the fact that the whole idea
is even necessary.
Unfortunately, we need it. I mean, think of the very rea-
son for the Day of Atonement. The word oatonement? means
opayment for an offense or injury.? Another meaning for it is
oto become in harmony with God.? The simple fact is, we, as
black men, are in desperate need to atone. For what? Well, I
could start a full-time job just telling my male students not
to call the female students obitches.? for that matter, it
would be another job to stop MOST of theTstudents from
calling each other onigger.? People are killed every day be-
cause someone else felt disrespected, and the next genera-
tion is walking right into the same trap! Many people say
that orespect must be earned,? which I think is ridiculous,
Respect should be given freely...DISrespect is what would be
earned by oneTs actions.
This is one of the reasons behind the Day of Atonement:
to look at the things we have been doing wrong, and say to
ourselves, oThis is not right.? And then, it is our duty to find
a way to fix whatever we've done wrong.
Case in point: I went out last Friday night. I called my
wife to let her know where I was, and that ITd be there only
for about fifteen minutes. That fifteen minutes got stretched
out into four hours. In that time, I didnTt call her again. So,
naturally, when I got home, my wife was NOT happy. She
was angry, and felt that she had been disrespected by me.
My female readers are probably agreeing with my wife at
this point. TheyTre saying that I should have called her to let
her know that my original plans had been changed. My male
readers are probably saying oWell? WhatTs her problem??
And theyTre saying that, oHeTs a man, he doesnTt need to
explain himself!? Well, guys, thatTs part of the problem right
there. The issue really isnTt whether or not I feel I disre-
spected her. ItTs about how SHE feels. If only because I love
her, if my wife feels that ITve disrespected her, then I must
address that problem. Even if I think she is wrong, it still
must be addressed. (By the way, I did NOT feel that she was
wrong in the above situation. I was flat out wrong in not
calling again to tell her what was up. It was a simple cour-
tesy that would have only taken about two minutes, but |
never did it.) We talked about it, and ITve resolved to be
better about calling her when sheTs expecting me. But, one
thing I never quite got around to doing was apologizing. |
didnTt do it then, so Il] do it now: oITm sorry, Ursie. I should
have taken your feelings and expectations into consideration
more than I did. Instead, I took them for granted, and, as a
result, disrespected you. ITm sorry.?
(Fellas: Keep that in mind. Just because we're men does
not mean that the ladies donTt have a right to get mad at us.
If we screw up, we should be man enough to face up to it,
instead of trying to use our manhood as an excuse. And YES,
guys, that ALSO means apologizing when we're wrong.)
So many people say they won't allow anyone to disrespect
them, but theyTre not willing to give others the respect they,
themselves, want, WhatTs the old saying? oDo unto others as
you would have them to do unto you.? Or, more simply,
otreat people like you want to be treated.?
I went to the barber shop recently. In there, the rules of
respect are so apparent you can almost picture them written
on the walls. Children did not interrupt conversations be-
tween adults. There was no horseplay in the shop. The men
were laughing and joking, but always respectful of one an-
other. Women in the shop were spoken to in a polite, respect-
ful manner. This is the type of respect that people are fight-
ing and killing for, Because I saw it so clearly within the

Articles and Essays by Ron Daniels
RONALD V. DELLUMS: COURAGEOUS CONSCIENCE
OF THE CONGRESS
On Sept. 24, I had the privilege of attending the cer-
emony for the unveiling of a portrait of the distinguished
congressman from the 9th Congressional District in Califor-
nia, the Hon. Ronald V. Dellums, former chairr an of the
Committee on the Armed Services of the U.S. House of Rep-
resentatives. It was a ceremony and celebration that I would
not have missed for anything in the world. Ron Dellums has
been a voice for the voiceless, an articulate and passionate
Proponent of a peace and justice society, and the leading
spokesperson for the progressive agenda for nearly three de-
cades; a career and avocation which has earned him the
title, oconscience of the Congress.?
From his vision of oeconomic conversion? to transform the
priorities of this nation to deal with hunger, poverty and
disease and equality of opportunity as opposed to ear, to his
passionate commitment to universal health care, full em-
ployment and freedom for South Africa, Ron Dellums has
been a formidable presence on the national and interna-
tional scene, commanding and demanding respect by the
sheer force of his intellect, integrity and adherence to prin-
ciple; an elegant, towering figure who has sought to make
his vision of the new society manifest in the manner in
which he lives his life and wages the struggle to achieve a
omore perfect union.?
And so it was altogether fitting, even necessary, that we
be present, members of Congress, civil rights leaders, grass-
roots activists, members of the administration, women and
men, young and old, friends, admirers and adversaries from
virtually every political spectrum and people from every hue
of the rainbow, on the occasion of the unveiling of a remark-
able portrait by Andre White capturing the essence of this
courageous conscience of the Congress"to honor this ex-
traordinary human being for his 30 years as a stellar public
servant.
The testimonies of various personages told in moving
fashion the story of this self-described political sprinter
turned long distance runner for the progressive cause. In a
rare and stunning series of tributes to the stature that
Ronald V. Dellums has achieved, Prominent and powerful
spokespersons for the conservative cause eagerly and gra-
ciously joined in the accolades to a human being that they
may differ with philosophically but have come to deeply re-
spect. Rep. Floyd Spence, current chairman of the Commit-
tee on National Security, expressed his gratitude to Rep.
Dellums for his willingness to reach out to the minority
members of the committee during his tenure as chairman.
All of us who have known and worked with Ron Dellums
over the years have been blessed by the association. He
stands in the finest tradition of African-Americans at the
cutting edge of social science and commitment to a more just
and humane society and world. We have yet to achieve the
more perfect union that he envisions, but America is a better
place because of the life and leadership of the Hon. Ronald
V. Dellums, courageous conscience of the Congress.
shop, I now KNOW that that type of respect is possible, But
80 many others donTt seem willing to do anything to change
the way things normally are, like students throwing a chair
at their teacher. Like a man hitting his woman just to okeep
rer in her place.? Like a boy calling his little sister a oBlack
i Nod
These types of insults have to stop. All of the disrespect
has got to stop. Black people have a hell of a time growing
up in this world. We need, as a people AND as individuals,
to figure out what WE can do to change that. It doesnTt have
to be anything big. What ONE thing can you do today to
make someone else's day more pleasant? Maybe a smile, per-
haps a card ojust because.? Choosing NOT to fight, or insult
someone, just TODAY. Those are the types of little things
that actually make each day a little better, These are some
ways to solve some problems that we face as a people. And
those little solutions are reasons for the Day of Atonement.
To figure out what's wrong, accept the fact that we've done
wrong, and to fix it.
The Day of Atonement is on Thursday, Oct. 16th. Re-
member the date. Use the day to atone, But please, try to
make EVERY day a oDay of Atonement.? Because if you
it
don't, then you've missed the whole point,

Antifreeze Safety Tips
(NAPS)"Protecting your pet
from the hazards associated with
ingesting antifreeze is easy, and
imperative. When used and stored
safely, and according to instruc-
tions, antifreeze does not pose
problems for pets.
Here are some ways to protect
your pets from harm:
1. When you change your
antifreeze, keep your pet on a
leash or indoors.
2. Drain old antifreeze into a
bucket or container, and never
drain where pets can get to it.
3. Be sure to clean up any spills
thoroughly and immediately.
4. Keep unused antifreeze in
original or well-marked containers
and keep out of the reach of chil-
dren, who might spill it near pets.
5. Store antifreeze away from
where pets or other animals like
raccoons can get into it.

Campbell Releases Study
On State Employees
Working From Home
State Auditor Ralph Campbell
last week released the results of a
feasibility study of state employees
working from home and/or
~ telecommuting.
oIn analyzing the profile of state
employment, it was no surprise
that the majority of state govern-
ment jobs are information-related,
and that these jobs are both the
fastest growing type of job and the
type which should benefit from ad-
vances in the use of technology,?
Campbell said.
oWe learned that telecom-
mutingT is an umbrella term used
to refer to a wide range of alterna-
tive office situations and flexible
work arrangements,? Campbell
added.
oIt generally describes a work ar-
rangement in which employees
work in their homes and commuteT
to their offices through technolo-
gies such as computers, modems,
fax machines and electronic mail.
oHowever, telecommutingT also
encompasses flexible office ar-
rangements such as regional or lo-
cal telework centersT where em-
ployees from different agencies use
the same facilities on a scheduled
basis.?
Campbell said a number of state
agencies are already employing the
concept of otelework,? in which an
employee is allowed to work from
his/her home and physically com-
mute to a local, regional or central
office on a periodic basis.
oSome agencies already allow
and encourage limited
telecommuting for such functions
as report preparation,? Campbell
said. oHowever, only 2.2 percent of
state positions are now allowed to
work from home on a regular ba-
sis.?
Campbell said research shows
that organizations which have
implemented telecommuting
projects report significant savings
in overhead costs ($2 for every $1
invested in technology), potential
for decreased real estate costs (25
to 90 percent), and increased
worker productivity.
He cautioned, however, that a
number of key policy issues must
be addressed before any agency
embarks on a full-fledged program.
